8 years after Hillary Clinton lost to Trump, Kamala Harris managed to (probably) do it again by recycling Clinton's failed strategy of courting Republicans and out-hawking Trump amidst a Democratic-sponsored genocide she refused to budge on.

The stupidity is almost unbelievable until you remember imperialism always comes first, even if it means losing.

This is the right take. There are a fuckton of wealthy, influential people in the pro-Israel camp and to turn against Israel in an election would be political suicide. Netanyahu created a perfect wedge issue for a Trump victory by continuing down the warpath.

  1. The pro Israel money was already going to trump. Fucking Miriam adelson alone gave him $100 million

  2. Even though the Israel lobby is huge it's not dominant on a national stage. Sure Aipac can take out some first term reps with a couple million dollars but they are dwarfed by the amount of money going into the presidential election. If anyone can take on the Israel lobby it's the presidential candidate with a war chest the size of a small countries gdp.
