Got it, your not here to talk about the actual problem with the campaign. You just want to focus your anger on those people torn most by having their family members and friends in Gaza being blown up with American weapons and support. People who were forced into the position to either vote for the party that was enthusiastically funding the bombing of their loved ones, with the only reason why being that the other guy will bomb them more, or protest vote against the administration that greenlit the death of their loved ones.
No analysis of how the Democratic Campaign lost those votes, no understanding of the position Palestinian Americans were put in. Just anger towards people who got scammed with the glimmer of hope of a ceasefire during an ongoing genocide. One only possible because the Democratic Campaign refused to pivot, despite domestic and international law, despite public sentiment, despite how much that pivot would have helped them win against the opposition.
Got it. Enjoy the view up there inbetween punching down
Yes. I’m replying to the context of the post, and you came in with some tertiary argument that you decided to broach yourself.
Palestinian Americans are not the people who “essentially got Trump into office”
Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris is.
Which is Palestinian Americans, where you said
Which is saying Palestinian Americans are the people who essentially got Trump into office
Like I said
