1.Oh no ! I am totally completely sure Harris wasn't gonna do the same! If only she won ! the Palestinian genocide that was backed and aided under Biden and her would've continued as usual, but uhhh.... Yeah....
2.Their face was already being eaten and voting to change who's eating it was probably more of "fuck you ! Get eaten too fuckers". If and only if there's a big number of Muslim voters that instead of simply abstaining from voting decided to vote Trump out of spite, but this lead me to my third point.
this is from reuters, you should check the other post, which copies reuters, but throws away the links.
And yea, Harris had a 20% chance to stop the war (I guess now we'll never know), whereas with trump you had a 99% chance that Palestine is gone from the map.
The 20% you speak of is pure cope, nothing more. The messaging was consistent and it was a huge "fuck you".
How would you know? trump won and you know what he's gonna do, did you ever consider that was a possibility? Contributing to his victory was the greatest gift to bibi for his atrocities.
Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being "we don't care about Palestine" and nothing else.
Like, holy shit, you could just as well say "how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?" and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden's politics instead of distancing herself from them, it's that simple.
Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don't get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.
And all of this because of people who tried to push "go vote for her anyway". As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people's votes for not doing what the people want them to do.
Whatever, it's done now. Live with your choice and the consequences.
Sure, just don't complain that Biden or Harris would've been different on Palestine.
