I agree. But since Trump hit office, aid has bewn cancelled or destroyed. Journalists and First Responders are being gunned down wholesale. Civilians at aid stations are being fired upon ON camera now. Things are MUCH worse than before and only going to get worse.
And why do so few democrats in office care about this either? Even though their constituents are angry at them about it? Democrats are complicit. Politicians in this country, in both parties, largely don’t serve their constituents. They are capitalist imperialists who serve their donors.
Because, most of them take money from AIPAC. They are in bed with Israel, and have been. That's why so many won't speak out. Both sides are getting campaign funds from AIPAC and won't speak out. Only the lower level officials who don't get AIPAC money speak out. That's why we need more.
You know AIPAC donated to Harris right? So why would she be any different?
And it's because Trump won all this is happening. Harris, while not by any means perfect, wouldn't have turned the world against us and put us in bed with dictators either!
How nicely hypothetical. Let's try with a certainty: she also has done jack shit to mitigate, prevent or reverse any of the horrible things done by the grand cheeto. And the USA has been a shithole since long before donnie was even a glimmer in his father's eye.
The US was allied with 70% of the world's dictatorships and most people said the US was the greatest threat to world peace under Biden

I'm not Democrat, I'm Progressive. Dems and Reps have long been complicit in the heinous shit going on in the world. My point has been that while Trump is destroying everything people are still on this "Harris didn't condemn Israel, so this is on her" when it's on them for not voting against Trump.
A candidate has one job, convince people to vote for them if they can't do that, that means THEY are the failure, not the people who won't vote for them The fact that you make that statement means, you are a Dem
Man why all the fuss then?

You weren't paying attention
355 bullets fired into a 6 year old girl Journalists targeted with hellfire missiles and burned alive Preemie infants shot in their incubators all of this before Trump even won election nothing got worse it's just nothing got better
Yes it has. Trump is actively planning to help remove all Palestinians from Gaza. Plans to occupy and rebuild are underway. It is MUCH worse now. Neither side of the political aisle have it right. But when a Dem President is in control, our voices mean more, we're not just screaming at the void.
Idk who your reps are but I assure you that if you live in a zionist’s state/district, yelling at them is ALSO screaming at a void. They do not and will not listen. Haven’t you seen videos of pro-Palestine protestors being silenced and forcefully removed from town halls and such?
Yes, I have. It's bullshit. 1st Amendment my ass...
You realize you have some contradictory thinking going on here, right? Like I’m not shaming you for it, it happens. But I want to point it out.
I understand. Unfortunately that IS politics. One giant contradiction. Voting in our country anymore is an exercise in picking the lesser of 2 evils. I didn't vote for a long time for that exact reason. Trump's first term brought me back. I needed to get involved.
You needed to get involved by calling leftists online morons? *Capitalism* is full of contradictions. That doesn’t mean your politics need to be contradictory. You don’t need to go to bat for a capitalist party. You should be demanding actual representation and working towards liberation.
No, voting is not an exercise in picking the lesser of two evils Only genocidal, bloodthirsty dipshits would thinks such things You supported a genocide, period, making you irredeemable trash
Hon, voting in this country is an exercise in futility how can it not be when both major parties are owned by the same corporations? YOU don't get to pick a candidate, THEY do
Agreed. But we still have to use what power we have as citizens. If all voting was citizen based and we had ranked choice voting, this would be such a better way than the archaic system that allows old, entrenched, corrupt people make the rules.
We have to use our power as citizens to vote for a capitalist ruling class-approved politician who serves them instead of us? Do you hear yourself? Our power as citizens is in our ability to organize with each other to build collective power. It’s not in voting for who they tell us to vote for.
You misunderstood. I agree with you completely. Popular vote, not electoral college. Rank choice voting, not being given 2 choices. So many things should be different. But since it isn't, doing the best we can is important. Not doing such leads to where we are right now. It sucks but it's reality.
That's the entire point of voting to lure the unsuspecting into thinking that just because they got off their ass once every 2 years, they've done something
So was Biden. Plans were underway in October 2023. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/p...
…people were screaming into a void for over a year under Biden
Biden was planning the same thing it's only much worse in the sense that nothing got better and Biden's plan to starve the Palestinians has extra months to continue
I voted for her and wish she'd won. but look at the vast majority of dems right now - still shamefully silent. so there's no reason to think they'd do differently on this issue - on everything else sure
15 months before Trump this was happening.
I know, I said so. But, it wasn't at this level, it wasn't this extreme. Netanyahu had to try to keep up appearances. Now Trump sits and applauds. Not nearly the same.
No he fucking didn’t . Biden did nothing to oppose this.
I didn't say he did. Never once. I said, that popular opinion is more persuasive when dealing with Dems than Reps. Or it used to be. Anymore none of them seem to give a shit what the people think.
Then blame the Democrats not the voters
Nice try. The 2024 election was lost by 30 million votes. The same number of votes that allowed Biden to win in 2020. Trump won both elections with near Identical numbers. The lack of voter turnout was the deciding factor.
You know you blocked a Canadian for not voting in the US elections? However, what you say here is incorrect. There's been significant post election analysis by groups such as Pew and Change Research into what happened in the election. It was not people staying home over Gaza that cost Harris the
I will. I will read it and see what is in it. The information I was saying was what I had read in several articles a little while back. If you have other information, I will check it out. And what Canadian did I block for not voting? I only block trolls.

election. I have a thread tracking the election analysis, I hope you'll read it. But here's some facts: * Harris outperformed Biden in over half the battle ground states * 2020 Biden would *also* have lost to 2024 Trump bsky.app/profile/kern...
I read most of your thread, I see what you are talking about. Yes, I have long been a supporter of eradicating the electoral college. It's an outdated system and it has allowed so much to happen to our country that might have been avoided if the popular vote was the deciding factor.
Hell, if the electoral college had been removed years ago, Trump never would have been in office in 2016 and Bush Jr wouldn't have won in 2000.
It was not. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...
You must think this is some big revelation, but all it's revealing is your ignorance to how anything works. Of course voter turnout was the deciding factor: that's how American electoral politics works. That's not a unique take-away from these elections.
There is no difference between Joeseph Biden and Donald John Trump re: Israel. Israel policy is US american uniparty since its founding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLN...
Buddy, it was. You just thought it was worth turning a blind eye on because of a despicable level of political convenience. Just the most wretched act of craven self-serving behavior. Spent all that time & energy yelling at Leftists instead of ever asking Harris or Biden to stop.
Listen I have never turned a blind eye to any of it. None of you fuckers know shit about me. Sometimes, when everything is at stake, indecision can kill. So, I will vote for a person I disagree with when the other one wants to BURN THE WORLD DOWN! Simple.
Harris' campaign openly admitted that they won't issue an arms embargo against the genocidal terrorist state of israel, who actively at the time committed a genocide www.bbc.com/news/article...
The Biden Admin even bypassed congress decisions in order to send israel more ammunition to carpet bomb and starve palestinians Again, Harris' responsibility here was to intervene, indict the Biden admin and/or sending them to TheHague for trial www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12...
the UNRWA halt was actually from Biden's doing in 2024 - which Kamala's responsibility was to prevent Biden from halting the funding of UNRWA which operated to feed palestinians www.reuters.com/fact-check/u...
All of that also happened under Biden.
It did. I know. What I see as the difference is the level of approval from each administration. Biden at least made it look like he was trying to keep Netanyahu somewhat honest. Trump is fully in his corner saying "Go, go, go!" I know, optics don't mean much but it's something that shows difference.
Biden's been an unconditional supporter of Israel & Netanyahu for decades. He was doing nothing but making certain Israel had all it needed to continue the genocide. Without his support, it'd have ended within months. US is Israel's biggest supplier (by far). www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Biden circumvented Congress to send 100s of arms shipments to Israel, fought for them at the UN & in court, and vetoed multiple ceasefires. Harris said there was no difference between her & Biden. You are mistaken that things would be any different. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
I know. Biden was a proudly claimed Zionist. He said as much. Him and Harris both got money from AIPAC. What I said was that the people, us, had a better chance of making a difference with Harris, than Trump. He has outwardly supported Israel and said he wants to occupy Gaza. Huge difference.
