    The election was never about Palestine, ultimately the Dems lost of their own volition by running rightward with Liz Cheney. Rather than going with a safe win like ending support for genocide and running on a progressive platform, or even a Leftist platform (which the DNC would never do, for the record, even if it would win), they deliberately chose to lose to the reps. Their donors would rather have Trump than progressive Dems win.

    More Americans would die under Harris as well. The US Empire is crumbling, even if Harris won that wouldn’t stop that process, what’s necessary is for the working class to get organized.

    Meanwhile, Palestine burns and the Dems got away with it.

      Irrelevant

      Trump ran on “the Dems aren’t doing enough for Israel” and won the Arabic vote

        Trump didn’t win the Arab-American vote, Harris lost it. Arab-Americans pivoted towards the Green Party and PSL.

          It’s the same thing

          How many elections has the messaging been “a vote for Stein is a vote for Republicans”

        He didn’t though, Jill stein got like 40 percent, Harris and Trump got 20 each.

        Honestly this simplification comes off as disingenuous and attempting to play Arab voters are more conservative and backwards.
