    LOL no. The democrats are entirely supportive of israel despite the occasional virtue signaling. I don’t understand why people would put Kamala on a pedistal and say maybe she’s different.

    Once the election was won, we could have rallied. We’d have been united finally, and she wouldn’t have needed Biden anymore.

    This is not how real life works.

    Now instead of a sympathetic president

    She’s not sympathetic to anyone. You don’t become president out of love and good vibes. The options were either vote for nothing to change or vote for trump to make everything worse, yet people post fanfiction on how the US will suddenly be a utopia and we just need to give the dems one last chance

      The difference is that there are democratic representatives that are supportive of the Palestinian people. Unless you are claiming the Rashida Talib is just virtue signaling her Palestinian ethnicity.

      This is not how real life works.

      Says the person who voted third party in a two party system…

      She’s not sympathetic to anyone. You don’t become president out of love and good vibes.

      No shit, but she is sympathetic to her hold on power. If there is enough noise to challenge her hold, she very well could have had a “change of heart”.

      It’s called harm reduction, no is expecting any US political party to solve the countrys problem. Some of us just don’t want to live through a fascist regime.

      Yeah, drag knows that’s not how real life works. In real life, y’all decided fuck left unity, let’s have a fascist president and make it every queer for themselves. So now we’re making plans to help our loved ones free the country. You think we have time to go to the Gaza rallies when we’re worrying about concentration camps? We could have all been at the pro-Gaza rallies. We could have marched, blocked the streets, lit up the media. We don’t have time for that now, we’re putting our own oxygen masks on first. We could have done something. This was preventable.

        Liberals aren’t left. Fuck off with your “left unity” bullshit, if you really wanted that you would’ve pressured Biden and Harris to move farther left and attract more left voters. I bet you spent your time calling people against genocide in Gaza Russian bots instead

          They’ve been out to brunch for four years and any criticism of the democrat party is Russian bots.
