Activists say the reason for this is that they do not have the same juice within the Republican party as they do among Democrats, and have little ability to influence Trump’s policy approach. So they continue to focus on the party where their influence remains.
Congratulations, you killed Gaza.
So tired of centrist whining and refusal to acknowledge what they did. If they hadnt backed a genocide we wouldnt all be in this mess. And they did that because they were too cowardly and unprincipled to stand up and stand with the right side of history. How much hubris and stupidity do you need to try to run a pro genocide campaign from the party that thinks of itself as the left.
They weren’t “backing genocide”. They repeatedly called for a cease fire, hostage release, and two state solution. That’s 180° reversed from genocide.
Biden pretended to care whenever he was in front of a camera. Then he made sure Israel was protected and well supplied, and had all the support the US military could give them.
Because Israel does have the right to defend itself from repeated missile attacks from Iran:

The fact that they diverted our military support into a genocide is on Israel, not Biden.
Did they have the right to conduct the Nakba? The thing where they stole Palestinians land, murdered a bunch, conducted biological terrorism and herded them into armed prison camps where they casually kill them and block everything about their daily life?
You know, the stuff that led to Hamas existing in the first place, and Iran launching those missiles. Was that all just fine? You want to start this with the first missile launched against Israel, it seems.
If you’re going to go back to the Nakba you might as well go back to the beginning of time when primitive tribes were fighting and bleeding over the same land, it’s not relevant to the current discussion.
Israel is committing a genocide, that needs to stop.
At the same time, the world decided Israel had a right to exist following the Holocaust.
Biden and Co killed Gaza and liberals allowed them to do it by refusing to ever hold them accountable while spreading their lies of a ceasefire. 50 years of no accountability gave us incremental fascism.
. . . Because Gaza was going to be saved before Trump?
With a President who had been campaigning on a cease fire and two state solution? Much more likely than “clear 'em out and build a beach front golf course” Trump.
The same president who claimed he told Bibi to cut it out, then staffers said he didn’t.
“Staffers” according to a non-credible news site.
Jordan, we know each other better than that.
No, seriously, the only site I’ve seen reporting that is Mondoweiss and they’re a known bullshit source.
And you know I hate biased mbfc! And mondoweiss is factual, every time I manually fact checked them, personally. Nonetheless, here:

“Had been campaigning on” is a joke after Biden spent his term bending over backwards to get weapons and funding to Israel, veto UN resolutions in opposition, and avoid pressuring Netanyahu
Harris is not Biden.
Yet she still took AIPAC money.
Sure she did, if you go against AIPAC you have little hope of winning.

She was his VP!
Yup, and every month from becoming the nominee until the election she campaigned on a cease fire, hostage release, and two state solution.

To which the typical complaint is “But, but, she didn’t enact policy!” from people who have no clue what the job duties of the VP actually are.
If your theory was that she was going to change her mind, surprise us all, and start supporting gaza, she had her chance. About two weeks before the election the checks were cashed and she could have started saying gaza was a genocide. You know, following the actual laws she swore to uphold.
It would have been too late for funding cuts to kill her campaign and she would have won. But she chose not to do that.
Her husband is a zionist.
Her brother in law campaign manager is a zionist.
She said she would not change a single thing Biden had done.
She kicked every pro palestine voice out of the convention, in August.
She shut down anyone who brought up gaza.
she began every answer about the war on gaza by starting with, “israel had a right to defend itself”.
And then you claim we are harping on a powerless VP, when we are in fact harping on a presidential candidate. Also, the VP does not serve at the will of the president. Harris didnt have to follow Bidens directions or lead on anything. Thats not how the office of an elected politician works. A president cannot fire or discipline a vp. The best they can do is not invite them to meetings. Running for president did Harris have time for meetings? No. she didnt. And the Biden election money pot had already been transferred and spent.
Your idea that she would have changed sides is nothing but hopium that flies in the face of numerous well established facts that show she was never going to stand against genocide. If elected she would have been talking about funding for her next election. Against all these facts, do you have a single piece of proof that she would have changed her mind? Even a single faint shred of a piece?
No. Sorry man you just dont. I know you wish it was true, I can understand that. She chose the genocide against the wishes of a sizeable enough number of her base voters that she lost.
dont you worry though, the zionists have this country by the balls and they’ll run another zionist war crimes supporter the first chance they get. You can vote for that one.
She didn’t have to change her mind, her position all along was:
Biden lied about working on a ceasefire, just like he lied about having red lines. You still believe huh.

Harris is not Biden.
Boggles the fuck out of me how people are still defending Democrats on this subject.
With Biden, watching this unfold felt like that scene from Saving Private Ryan. “Shhh…”
