To be absolutely clear here, I'm saying how can we (America) help Gaza if we (America) is falling apart. With Harris the people had negotiating power, we could actually get through to our elected officials. Now we have two options, bend the knee to Trump or be silenced. How does that help Gaza?

I have thought from the beginning the inverse (and bear with me for a second): What's going in the US is the blowback not just from our very wrong imperialist thrust in the Middle East stretching back decades, but specifically the profound contradictions and corruptions born of the US promotion of>

5> worship, elevating the "rights of state power" over any human right. In Trumpism, human rights are conditioned on the whim of the state. The mentality that sees the genocide of Palestinians as a backburner issue is degrading human rights and rule of law. Stop Gaza and you'll know how to fix US.

How would electing Kamala help Gaza? I really think you are highlighting the cognitive dissonance people have about many Democrats. Biden and Harris were in power and still sent money and arms to Israel despite the obvious war crimes of Netanyahu and the IDF. Marjorie Taylor Greene is better.
