Massive pro-Palestine protests have been organised on a regular basis, activists have targeted arms manufacturers, and dozens of student-led Gaza solidarity encampments popped up on university campuses across the country since the war began.

Electorally, two major Muslim and Arab-led initiatives have emerged out of the response to the war.Though these groups appear to be aligned and are often seen as interchangeable, the groups are quite distinct.

The first group, Abandon Harris (formerly Abandon Biden), has vowed to do everything in its power to get voters to turn away from Harris and the Democratic Party for its continued support for the war on Gaza.

The other group, the Uncommitted movement, began by urging voters to choose "uncommitted" during the Democratic primary cycle as a protest vote against US President Joe Biden. Since Harris replaced Biden for the Democratic ticket, the movement has called for an arms embargo on Israel but is maintaining its support for the Democrats despite not winning any of the concessions it has asked for.

Here's the thing: if someone stands with the Democrats, after everything they've done for the past eleven months? I consider them an existential enemy of mine. Why would I ally with a collaborator in genocide? Why would I continue propping up their unjust empire? Nah, death to the settlers; from the river to the sea.

If the demons get the cheeto, they fucking deserve him; fascists and fascist-enablers were made for each other.
