They’re both right. If you didn’t vote for Harris, you were incredibly misguided. But it’s not my job to get Harris elected, it’s the DNC’s.
It’s everyone’s job to fight a fascist takeover, though. Election subversion is part of the playbook.
It’s worse than that - this election was a major win for billionaires, the DNC’s donors that call the shots and decide who gets on the ticket and the same group that backs the GOP’s ticket. The difference in the candidates is a reflection of the range of preferences within the billionaire class. That’s why we can’t get exciting progressive candidates. That’s also why we see so many articles blaming voters or blaming a side - the division keeps people focused elsewhere. Billionaire-owned and managed media (propaganda) keeps them out of the spotlight. Kamala was the far better candidate but she lost because the more hateful of the billionaires put their funds into setting up a false choice (a vote either way is a vote for the billionaires) and then poured on the gas to get the other guy in office.
Between the two inevitable options, Harris was willing to negotiate a ceasefire. I realize there’s theoretically faster options but I was unwilling to make minorities all over the world die on that hill. It’s purely a place of privilege to think there’s no difference between wiping Palestinians off the map, and stopping the war in place.
No, she wasn’t willing to negotiate a ceasefire. Listen to her. Ironclad with Israel until the end. It’s too late for the democrats now.
Under their watch almost all of Gaza is destroyed and 100,000’s people dead and displaced. Generations of families and nearly every single hospital, university, school, and mosque destroyed. This is anihilation.
This is what democrats mean when they say they want a ceasefire. They could have stopped it right at the outset, but they choose to say “Israel has a right to defend itself” and continues to arm Israel as it’s been slowly genociding them for over a year.
She may have said something about a ceasefire, but just as Biden talked about all of his red lines that Netanyahu blew through, they are just words.
Maybe now she can become a champion for ending the genocide because Trump will be doing it instead.
