Had Kamala conceded on Gaza, I’m sure the Greens/PSL would have dropped out.

Greens maybe, PSL i would hope not, but why would Democrats ever do something like that? That's a terrible deal for them. The amount of votes they'd gain from that would be vastly outweighed by the amount of Zionist & MIC donor money they'd lose. Imo they acted rationally according to the logic of bourgeois "democracy" - you gain more votes from having the donor class on your side than doing any amount of things that would actually benefit or please the average voter.

I mean i'm glad that third party voters sent a message that support for genocide will be punished even if only marginally, it's the morally right thing to do, but i don't think that the Democrat party gives a single shit about that message. They will have learned nothing. But hopefully the voters have, namely that the system doesn't work for them but for genocidal psychopath billionaires, and that all the US government's pretense about human rights is a cruel joke. This is one more step on the path to class consciousness.
