Donald Trump said he wants Israel to “finish the job.” The Democrats at least were making overtures to peace. Were sending aid to Gaza.
Kamala was walking a tightrope. She was losing voters to Trump who didn’t think she was pro-Israel enough, and others to Stein who didn’t think she was anti-Israel enough.
Strategic voting is important in a first-past-the-post system, and those who rejected Kamala because she wasn’t sufficiently anti-genocide for them get to sit in the knowledge that they helped her lose, and helped put a man who will absolutely make the genocide worse in power.
Edit: But yes, my point was she probably could’ve gotten some of those voters if she’d been more anti-genocide.

Do you want 10 pounds of shit or 11? Who cares?
The pro-Israel crowd were already mostly evangelicals, all in on Trump from the get go.
Nobody would have voted for Stein if Harris took her Gaza rhetoric.
Little reason to vote Democrat over Republican?

I agree that she should’ve been pro-Gaza. I just also understand why she wasn’t.
It was calculated and cowardly, words that define the modern Democratic Party.
