It is a very slim chance but there is hope that the Kamala administration will at least give israel fewer bombs or demand they be used for things that benefit US interests (like attacking iran) rather than cheering on the genocide.

If there's only a very slim hope, then might as well let the Democrats lose so they at least have to posture.

In the past, when there were chances to evacuate them as refugees, the majority of neighboring countries actively refused (ironically citing fears of Hamas led insurrections).

Middle Eastern countries notoriously don't represent their people, being dictatorships and all that.

But when it is a way to bleed resources out of israel they suddenly are all humanitarians.

Who are "they"?

It is hard to believe that suddenly, after everyone discovered Palestine existed on October 8th, that is truly the greatest issue facing the planet (especially when other active genocides are still ignored).

Many people only learned how bad things are in Palestine because of Israel's genocide in Gaza. What's so strange about that? Also the West is not actively intervening in those other genocides, which might not be palatable to some people but it's much better than actively bankrolling one. Again, what's the problem with not wanting to bankroll a genocide and increase the chance of being caught in another war in the Middle East? Also, have you not considered that many people (a quarter of either all Americans or Democrats, not sure which but you can find the numbers online) opposed Israel's Apartheid regime but couldn't speak out for fear of being labeled antisemites? Also why are you conveniently ignoring the existence of Arab and Muslim Americans who are personally invested in seeing Israel's genocide stop?

I don't think you know what the word "gaslight(ing)" means

"No you don't care about Palestine tankie/useful idiot/right wing bot/whatever" is, in fact, gaslighting.

Nah, they'd call Jesus communist and vote for their lord and savior Satan.

Wait that far? I'd have said Reagan.

Tbf China has a lot of problems with subsidies and labor rights, so it makes sense for Hyundai's stuff to be more expensive, but yeah I doubt it'd lead to double the price.

You can do anything to yourself, with few exceptions.

Take that, Harris.

Literally yes. Democrat turnout has been the deciding factor in elections for decades now. When democrat voters stay home, Democrats lose the election.

Okay telling me, an Arab, that I won't care about Gaza in six months is... interesting, but do your thing I guess. That aside, has anyone told you that this attitude is condescending as fuck?

And among American Muslims. I count two absolutely necessary demographics if Harris wants to win in November here.

The average American does, in fact, give at least a few fucks about Gaza and the prospect of another war in the Middle East. You can look up the polls yourself. Also, even if the average American didn't care, the average swing state American sure as hell does. Michigan gets the most popularity, but the American Midwest in general has a high number of Muslims who are a key demographic in this election. And, you know, people generally don't like genocide.

But she’s weighed down by a number of important factors: a dim diagnosis of America’s economy, negative views about life during President Joe Biden’s administration and a lack of familiarity with her, which has bred ambivalence and distrust.

No mention of Gaza? Seriously?
