The US presidential election is a toss-up between a ‘soft-on-Palestine’ Democrat whose boss has armed Israel’s genocide and an unabashedly pro-Israel Republican who doesn’t like war or war budgets.

This has led to the loss of crucial constituencies, including young voters, Arab and Muslim communities, and many progressives. Additionally, many younger and left-leaning Jewish voters “no longer see unequivocal support for Israel as a litmus test.”

While the Democratic party is well aware of this vulnerability, many wonder whether its candidate, Kamala Harris, can win back disappointed voters and bring a new approach to policy toward Gaza – at this late date.

    Trump setup up a U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Wtf are you going on about? This is such a stupid conversation to be having. Of course Trump is worse for Palestinians.

          Still can’t imagine what’s worse than genocide. All the money and weapons the US has supplied to Israel will let them finish the job before the next president is sworn in
