Even inside the Harris campaign, there was dissent about whether she needed to take a more aggressive stance for Gaza.
A Harris organizer who worked on youth turnout said that senior campaign officials gave them an order: When they sent out mass volunteer or fundraising emails and people replied by asking about Gaza, they were told to mark it as “no response.” The result? They seldom ended up engaging with voters on that issue.
“We also didn’t create a new category for Gaza responses out of fear that category would be leaked. Instead we were told to mark them as ‘no response,’” the organizer said, faulting top Harris campaign leaders for failing to address the issue. “The only ‘clowns’ out there are those who were in senior leadership and decided to abdicate on this issue, who silenced a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and who told us to ignore it every time a voter asked us about Gaza.”
Uncommitted leaders wanted the United States to be destroyed. They don’t care at all about Gaza and never have. If you were dumb enough to fall for their shit, you deserve what happens to you.
Every rational person wants the USA destroyed. It’s a garbage genocidal empire that’s literally destroying the planet.
If you’re dumb enough to believe the nationalist BS, then you’re probably posting ignorant comments on lemmy.
Every rational person should want all authoritarian governments destroyed without destroying the people within the country they control. Thinking otherwise just means you’re willing to sacrifice lives on a bet that worse means better eventually—which has never been the case.
What is your opinion of the content in the post summary?
I think the DNC is out of touch with their voters.
Given your username and instance, I’ll assume you were dumb enough to not vote, which double fucked everyone—including the Palestinians!! But hey, you’re tearing down the United States and that’s the most important thing. Just don’t be surprised if that orange fool pulls the rest of the world down with him.
Out of touch or purposely ignoring and misleading?
I don’t see any other country in the world doing anything to stop Israel. What are campaign workers really supposed to say? Ignoring and misleading was clearly a poor response. But, so was voting for Trump via not voting at all.
But hey, speeding up the decline is the whole point, right? Who cares how many people die! 🤡
We didn’t need to continue selling them weapons.
Agreed. But the US isn’t the only country selling them weapons. Israel has been doing this shit for decades, and no one seemed to care until an election year. Where are the “genocide Trump” comments? Nowhere to be found.
That doesn’t make it conscionable.
Agreed! It doesn’t mean we should elect Trump, either.
