tbh, i dont think toeing the biden line on gaza is what id call stern. if anything, i think she lost votes bc she couldn't commit to actual consequences for the genocide beyond a finger wagging.
No. She lost because a massive Russian and US-fascist campaign corrupted the state of the media until people couldn’t tell up from down.
“I care so much about the Palestinian people that I have no choice but to become ‘unexcited’ about the only candidate of the two who doesn’t actively want Netanyahu to exterminate them even harder” is yet another example of the nonsense-logic they managed to get into the conversation. If Biden had been taking a hard line on weapons shipments, the big catastrophe about the left candidate would have been something else. I can almost guarantee it.
False equivalency will be the death of our country. The media has been pushing this line for decades, even when it has become clear that the GOP has been getting more and more extreme during that time.
Even Jon Stewart immediately started pushing this garbage that none of this really matters, and we can just live our lives like it was just any other election. Meanwhile, all of his colleagues in late night media has been fighting hard to combat the disinformation in their own way, and this is how he rewards them.
Hey, Jon... in the words of Jon Stewart: "Go fuck yourself!"
She lost because too many americans are racist, sexist and apparently rotten to the core. There is no policy position that Harris could have taken that would change any of that because to MAGA none of that matters. Only Dear Leader matters.
I don't mean toeing the biden line, i mean stern against israel. I might have spoke too soon because we might get the full picture once we see the voter turnout. So far it seems like american vote for trump, without exception.
