    I wonder how the folks who voted for Trump or abstained from voting because they support Palestine feel about Israel being entirely free to engage in expansionism now?

      You do know that you still have a Democrat president in the Whitehouse right now, right? You remember Genocide Joe? He’s still president, and I sure am not impressed by what the Democrats are doing to limit Israel’s expansionism. Israel being free to engage in expansionism is with, repeat after me, the Democrats still in power.

      Yeah, the Dems were and are doing a bang up job of stopping them. I voted for Harris but harping on this shit when that isn’t even why she lost is delusional. If it concerns you so much then how about you express your outrage or participate in direct action. Though, like many Democrats, I suspect it doesn’t.

        I suspect it has a lot to do with why she lost. Her assignment was to show that she was something new and she failed spectacularly. Actually embracing Palestinians would have gone a long way to that.

        Biden was perfectly fine according to her even though the old fuck had to step down from his candidacy because everyone hated him.

          I fully agree but it seems a lot of people are trying to pin the blame on the voters and not the party that decided apathy was a valid running platform.

          She was nothing new though. She was a rehash of the same old tired D corporate-friendly bullshit, and that’s why she lost. If she’d had thrown her weight behind Palestine, the AIPAC would’ve taken their money elsewhere, nevermind her husband is as Jewish as they come, so that would’ve been a nonstarter anyway.

      Trump is not yet in office and neither Biden and Harris condemned what is happening now. I’m tired of people defending Democrats by mentioning trump every time.

      Are you honestly trying to claim that the dems have been containing and limiting Israels advances?

      Wheres this mythical pushback by the dems on what israel is doing right now? Have some real examples of dem pushback backed by actual results? I hate trump, but lets not whitewash Bidens unconditional support of Israel using our tax money and soft power.

      Israel has bought off both parties in congress and the presidency, as evidenced by every vote re. Israel getting near unanimous pro israel outcomes from both parties, while the entire rest of the globe and the entire UN are deeply against Israels genocide of innocent Palestinians, invasion of Lebanon, and now invasion of Syria.
