Holy shit!
Hang on. I can't find my Pikachu shocked face. I must have left it at the other article where the Republicans said they lied about Project 2025.
We should start making bets about this
we're about to see something really shocking and ugly aren't we. more so than usual I mean
No, I've been told a Trump victory couldn't make anything worse for Palestine. This should just be status quo stuff here.
Indeed, because "Genocide Joe" and so on, argle bargle. The voters that sat out because of this, or worse, outright voted for donvict will have a lot to answer for. I mean, if they actually give a shit about Palestinians and didn't really just want to be Above It All (TM).
I like argle bargle. I shall use it

Yup.
So all you "But Gaza!" people......how'd that work out for you?
This may just be an observation from across the pond, but it feels like the But Gaza people were nothing but a troll farm and y'all got played.
Man, this whole situation is all kinds of fucked.
The "people" bringing it up nonstop on social media might have been state actors or trolls but there were plenty of real people who followed the movement. They're still "But Gaza!" people regardless of how the idea that they should abstain from voting got into their head.
I voted Harris, but I was pretty fucking disgusted with Kamala's refusal to change course on this.

It's mostly true. Someone was tracking those accounts and nearly all of them stopped posting entirely immediately after the election. Either very dedicated, or astroturfing.
Some of us called these people on their shit. They're all gone now, so at least we have that.

The Harris campaign made the decision to not break from Biden on Israel, at the cost of a +6 points gain. That's the fault of the campaign's calculations to ignore those voters, take them for granted, and instead run to the right with Liz Cheney and having the most lethal Military.
I voted for Harris and told others to do the same. It's still on the campaign. Blaming voters is just sowing division when we need unity and solidarity to fight against Fascism.

Our first matchup tested a Democrat and a Republican who “both agree with Israel’s current approach to the conflict in Gaza”. In this case, the generic candidates tied 44–44. The second matchup saw the same Republican facing a Democrat supporting “an immediate ceasefire and a halt of military aid and arms sales to Israel”. Interestingly, the Democrat led 49–43, with Independents and 2020 non-voters driving the bulk of this shift.

In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withhold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they’d be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they’d be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely.

Majorities of Democrats (67%) and Independents (55%) believe the US should either end support for Israel’s war effort or make that support conditional on a ceasefire. Only 8% of Democrats but 42% of Republicans think the US must support Israel unconditionally.
Republicans and Independents most often point to immigration as one of Biden’s top foreign policy failures. Democrats most often select the US response to the war in Gaza.
You're right that they really messed up here

Good work Pro-Palestinian voters, you screwed your own people.
By the way, the US military will most likely gear up for a war against Iran. Yep, orders from Riyadh and Tel Aviv for another 20 year shit hitting the fan adventure doomed to fail.
The election wasn't decided by voters who cared about Palestine, I don't think.

Honey, why is there a leopard at the door?
AMA request: Anyone who voted for Jill Stein or Trump because Kamala wasn't hard enough on Israel.
In theory it was mostly people not voting for Harris (or anyone). In most cases here, anyway. Supposedly.

Well that would be one way of ending the war on day one.

ITT: "How could third party voters do this? I have learned nothing."
Dear everyone who refused to vote: I hope you're happy! Really helping out the Israel-Palestine situation right now. You did this. Look at your crime against humanity and despair.
Dear Harris: You could have singlehandedly prevented this.
I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top.
