You can’t refute my points so you just go straight to name-calling and ad hominem. Trump has simply continued Biden’s stance on Gaza. And again, the vast majority of the deaths in Gaza occurred during Biden’s watch. Call me all the names you want; that won’t change these inconvenient truths. Let’s compare the counterfactual. If Kamala had won: Gaza genocide would have continued unchanged. (Per Kamala’s own words and policies.) AIPAC would have remained ascendant within the Democratic party. Since Trump won: Gaza genocide has continued unchanged. AIPAC has become politically radioactive in Democratic circles. For the Gazans at least, Trump winning was absolutely a net positive. Well, more a “lesser evil” choice. Neither candidate would have actually helped the Gazans, but Kamala losing at least created the potential for long-term improvement within one of the parties. This is the problem with “lesser evil” thinking. It works both ways. When both parties announce that they’re going to hurt you and your people equally, the lesser evil choice is to vote against the one whose loss is most likely to reshuffle candidates and policies. If both choices will hurt you, the lesser evil choice is to flip over the table and hope for something completely different.

    We’ll never fucking know will we? Trump winning was absolutely a net positive. jfc, look at the maps of the west bank and explain the positive. jfc man, you may not care about those people but holy fuck. Neither candidate would have actually helped the Gazans, bullshit projection to justify the terrible choices you’re pushing.
