      Joe Biden during his presidency could have at any moment rang the phone of Netenyahu and said “stop the genocide” and not a single Palestinian child would’ve died from hunger or bombs or fire.

        Suspicious lack of criticism of the current administration on here though.

        Suspicious influx of posts trashing Gavin Newsom as soon as he starts fighting back against the current administration on here though.

        I’d say its more complicated than that but yeah absolutely that administration didn’t try to stop it, it clearly wasn’t their goal in the slightest. They did very little (though even that very little was more than the trump administration has ever done or tried to) but I’m not gonna act like Kamala Harris would have been like the fuckin savior of Gaza cause that’s just false.

        However, if Harris had won the election, we would:

        • not have people sent to concentration camps in El Salvador
        • not have a concentration camp in the Everglades
        • not have the mass militarization of ICE
        • not hace the total loss of due process for immigration cases and people being kidnapped by federal officers off the street
        • not have millions of people losing Medicaid
        • not have the national guard marching on the streets of DC
        • not have Texas gerrymandering 5 seats in the middle of the term at the president’s request
        • not have the CDC, HHS, and millions of dollars in funding for research gutted
        • not have environmental programs and research gutted
        • not have a convicted rapist in the oval office
        • not have students deported for protesting
        • there’s like dozens more things that I could list tbh
        • still have a genocide in gaza

        I totally understand why people were really upset about that last point. I was/am too. But I have a few thoughts:

        1. If you thought Trump would have been better for gazans than Harris, you’re a fucking idiot.
        2. If you think those two were equally bad because of that single issue, then you’re a fucking idiot.
        3. If you didn’t vote to make a point about how we need something better than those two options, you contributed far more towards Trump’s victory than you did to making that point, especially since the democratic party is full of imbeciles who will see your missing vote and interpret it as meaning they need to become more “moderate.”
