25. 1. Kamala had an abbreviated period of time to make any distinctions between herself and President Biden.

It boiled down to a combination run for office and she even stated "nothing different," that may have helped her with Biden loyalists but not the people dissatisfied with his policy in regards to Israel and Gaza. Kamala even ran two different ads one focused on Israel in Pennsylvania and the other more from a Palestinian Gaza point of view in Michigan.

2. Gaza wasn't getting enough food and supplies even before October 7th at about 300 trucks a day. It truly was the world's largest open air prison. Despite pleas or encouragement from President Biden Israel didn't do squat in altering those dynamics, and this only made him look weak, it was no wonder that *rump ran on the "strong man" crap and the corporate media love using that definition for a dictator or a more warm and fuzzy authoritarian. Of course Netanyahu always wanted *rump back in power and anything that he could do to thumb his nose at Biden, he did.

3. Even if the U.S. couldn't stop Israel from committing ethnic cleansing and genocide (the entire world recognized what was happening, and Israeli "leadership" wasn't even coy about it) against the Palestinians, we could've stopped supplying them with the weapons to do so. This not only made President Biden look weak but undercut his moral authority as well and together that was his Achilles heel.
