We actually won Florida. Scalia bum rushed the SCOTUS to shut down the count before we found out. Helped along by Roger Stone and that republican State Elections lady.
If only Al Gore had known there are zero consequences for telling everyone to trash the Congressional building.
Above all else I'm pro-civilian. When October 7th happened I was pro-civilian. When Israel began indiscriminately bombing Gaza killing 3-4 civilians for every Hamas in the best case scenario I was pro-civilian then, too.
Naturally if you have a paper-cut in one place and an arterial bleed elsewhere your time is best served focusing on the arterial bleed.
Does this change the fact that I think it's silly to protest Biden and Harris directly and misses the bigger picture of this election relative to the risk of wedge-driving Democrats and letting the guy in who won't even try to stop tie bleeding? No.
Anyone advocating for Palestinians is better served finding pro-Israeli voters and showing them the brutality of the IDF. When you then see a movement in the public polls, you'll see a movement in policy & platform.
Yeah I'm sure repeatedly saying that Trump is gonna be worse over and over is gonna win over the Palestinian-Americans who's families are still in the region and will continue to be at risk for being killed if nothing is done. And with everyone saying this election will be close leaving those votes on the table and just expecting them to follow along cause at least the Democrats won't directly get involved seems like a bad strategy.
This assumes that the protesters won't vote for Harris come election time.
Protests are important - especially obnoxious, inconvenient ones. If Harris and the general public can't ignore the protesters, Harris is more likely to act on the protested issue instead of sidestepping it.
If you actually think Trump will be better for Palestine than Kamela... you either don't know he literally moved Israeli government buildings to Palestine owned territory or you have brain worms
You seem to be under the utterly idiotic impression, that pro-palistinians will vote for Trump, someone who will continue to kill Palestinians. You are saying that just because people want one candidate to be better, and stop committing genocide, that they will vote for someone who will worsen the genocide. Almost all pro-palistinians are still voting for Harris, they just want her to pledge to stop a genocide that the US government is aiding. There is no logical process for you to have used to reach this idea. You are simply a zionist looking for approval.
They're also protesting the republicans, but don't let facts get in the way of you trying to tell everyone that you're superior to people protesting genocide. 😉
Imagine thinking anything would have been different had a Democrat been at the helm when 9/11 happened.
Trying to ridicule people of conscience will regularly not go how you expect.
Feeling like more protests should be happening where netanyahu can see them.. but what do I know 🤷
I'd like it for the protests to have an actionable outcome that helps everyone involved, however this doesn't seem to be the goal of them. Lots of astroturfing, lots of bad-faith arguments.
Keep in mind this is an election year, there's always fuckery and pressure from outside influences during election years.
