In reply to the discussion: There can't be any crying about Gaza now if you weren't fully on board with Joe and Kamala... [View all]OrangeJoe
(460 posts)47. Same with me
The fact is that Harris could not openly campaign on a Free Gaza platform, she would have been crush even worse.
However, had the Arab American community worked to get her elected they would have people inside the room when the issue was discussed and could have begun the very big and challenging task of getting the USA to change directions in our policy.
Too many people expect candidates that they support to give them everything. It doesnt work that way especially in this case when there is sooo much money and media on the side of Israel. But now theyve got Donny doing who knows what kind of fuckery.

Nobody said you aren't free to make stupid voting decisions. But, crying about the ramifications is hypocritical.

Given an opportunity to choose from two "evils", too many people picked the greater one.

Found out today that some protesters at the DNC were local homeless people from Texas. They were paid to go there.

Agreed. We're just scratching the surface of the "find out" phase. Elections have consequences.
