Trump literally said he wanted to turn the entire area into a parking lot and hotels.
Harris was a bit wishy washy on the subject.
But hey, at least we went with the greater of two evils. Horay for the maybe .001% of the population with family in Palestine. At least in the long run, they will have a nice resort to stay at while visiting the graves of their families.

That’s what Ben-Gvir, and other Israeli ultranationalists want. They’d still want that even if Harris were President. I just don’t see the evidence that her adminstration would be pushing back on that, given that Democratic leaders are still voting to send foreign aid to Israel.
(I’m not trying to defend the fascist regime, but I think truth matters.)
The reason is kind of important, no? You can shrug and say idiots and racists, but that’s far from the whole story, not really even the primary reason. A big piece of it is people feeling disengaged from politics, which is understandable, since U.S. policy hasn’t reflected the will of the people for almost 50 years now.
More or less telegraphing that “I will not listen to what you want” and “I support evil but have the decency to feel bad about it” (like on Gaza, for example) is not a great way to motivate people in this environment.

I donated to and voted for Harris.
Because I hated Trump.
There was nothing else appealing about her to me, and I have a lot of the identity politics that was theoretically supposed to make me gooey for her.
Wouldn’t count on that one.
This must be so annoying for you
Stop belittling opposition to genocide just because you are incapable of loving anything else.

I mean, my point is, both choices were bad for Palestine on some level. One choice was demonstably terrible, for literally everyone, everywhere.
And for some reason (idiots, racists) we picked the terrible option.

Biden literally did a genocide, no matter how wonky you make the letters, scumbag.
