    They don’t have the morally high ground. They chose to help a fascist get to power.

    Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential Nominee, lost. Because of her poor campaign tactics, she allowed a fascist to get into power. Are you equally upset with her for not doing what it takes to stop fascism?

    If not, why was the “right answer” for this election to support Israel when we know that she lost following that tactic, and not supporting Palestine?

      Obviously I am upset with Harris and her campaign. Since she became the candidate I have been critiquing her.

      The right answer is not allowing a fascist to be elected. Supporting Israel is what Trump did too and even worse than Harris. Any pro Palestine voter with a brain would see that Harris is better for them.

      Now they deserve everything Trump will do to them.

        Supporting Israel is what Trump did too and even worse than Harris.

        So the key to beating fascism in your mind was to platform the same policies, but a little less? What do you actually think Harris should have done differently that would have helped her win the election? Because clearly, doing the same thing but slightly less bad didn’t work this time.

          The key to defeat fascism is not voting for fascism. Nothing Harris could have done would have changed anything. American voters and non voters want fascism more than a female president.

          I called it 4 mths ago. Putting her up was a mistake. They either needed to stay with Biden or better yet, have him not run again and pick a white man as candidate.

          Even then it would have been hard with so many people choosing fascism and choosing not to prevent fascism.

            The key to defeat fascism is not voting for fascism.

            Are you implying Harris was also fascist, or are you just complaining that not enough people voted for her? If it’s the first, then fine. But if it’s the second, what do you think Harris could have done to earn more votes?

            Or are you saying that racism and misogyny in the US is just that much stronger than our anti-fascist beliefs? That there’s no amount of good policy and campaign promises that a woman could give that would ever be enough to beat fascism?
