Given her opponent will absolutely speed up that genocide, anyone worried about it should shut the fuck up until after Harris is actually president.

its a dance between the electorate and the elected. nobody should be shutting up about anything - even the insane trumpets. sanity has no special disposition on this planet and, if you want your particular flavor of reality implemented, scream about it and then make it happen.

we are exactly in this position because not enough people were involved in the process to begin with. please don't hate-shame people out of it again.

The real work starts November 6

And then... Israel gets to genocide Gaza for four more years? People need to realize that if US policy on Gaza doesn't change soon, a significant fraction of the Gazan population (more than the already significant 1 out of 10-20 anyway) will die. There is currently a full blown famine in Gaza and it can't wait for the next election.

And then Palestine will actually have a lot more political opportunities once the GoP is searching for a Trump replacement.

Break the far right by stopping Trump and Putin's influence on the western world, and things like war crimes and genocide actually have meaning again.

How so? Harris and "Israel should expand more" Waltz? The Democrat establishment has given no indication that they have any issue with what Israel is doing.

once the GoP is searching for a Trump replacement.

I mean they might find one or might not, but either way they're not going away anytime soon. Project 2025 will just become project 2029, and then the 2028 election will be another "fight for democracy". Voters are tired of being told to vote blue no matter who while the party shifts further and further to the right.

Putin must be tried at The Hague.

It shouldn't even be close now. Explain that, and then point to the 'working class' politics they're losing to.

Coming from Ralph Nader...
