Israel’s complete blockade has passed seven weeks, and “people are running out of ways to cope,” the U.N. agency said. “The fragile gains made during the short ceasefire have unravelled.”

Harris has not been the candidate many of us wanted. Her candidacy is historic, but she and the Democratic Party have failed to champion a truly progressive agenda — one needed not only to motivate her base, but to take on the right wing’s increasingly fascist policies and rhetoric. It has been devastating to see Harris refuse to break with Biden on Israel, adopt xenophobic talking points about immigration policy, and campaign alongside hawkish, pro-war Republicans.
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the article, you’d see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?
You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn’t stomach Harris. Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.
Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she’s better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.
Really fucking rich accusing me of not reading the article when you stopped reading as soon as your opinion was validated.

The painful reality is that the movement for Palestinian rights has not acquired the political power necessary to stop the genocide that we have all watched unfold over the last year. And ultimately, it is progressive movements - not Harris and the Democrats - who will suffer the most under a second Trump term. We cannot abdicate our power within the Democratic Party, limited as it may be, for the sake of trying to punish the party’s leadership. We must block Trump and the fascist right, while at the same time demanding change from our leaders, continuing to agitate for an arms embargo with every resource we have.
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the whole article, you’d see that she’s telling you not to take the path you did.
This is why I said what I said, and chose not to respond to anything else.
Stop calling people “morons” because they can’t as easily justify genocide as you can.
I think it’s more regarding their lack of ability to see nuance. If your choices are genocide and genocide lite, yeah, they’re both fucking bad, but maybe with lite, we can have more time to effect real change vs Trump, under whom we are guaranteed to see absolutely no change in a positive direction. I’d rather take 1% over 0%.
You’re not wrong, by all means. Either way you also need to be doing anything you can like protesting in the streets, boycotting anything that supports Israel, and support organizations that help Palestine. But I’d rather buy time for there to still be a Gaza to fight for, personally.

There is no genocide lite. It’s just genocide with better marketing.
