    Not to me.

    Biden’s and by extension Kamala’s Israel policy was functionally identical to Trump’s. The atrocities happening under Trump were happening under Biden. The only thing that’s changed is now that Trump is in charge it’s become acceptable for left leaning media to criticize that policy. Under Biden, outlets like MSNBC literally fired everyone with even an incling of pro Palestinian rhetoric. They framed genocide protestors as antisemites.

    And it wasn’t just Biden. Practically the entire DNC was 100% behind Israel.

    The people protesting had friends and family killed by US muntins that the Biden admin never even hinted at threatening to reduce, even after Israel doing things like murdering aid workers. Even after blowing past every single “red line”.

    Go watch Antony Blinken talk about Israel. It’s disgusting, but there really was no difference in rhetoric between him and the current Trump admin.

    You don’t understand the protest vote because, like Biden, you didn’t look into or care about the protesters until it became something you could use to removed about Trump or voters that didn’t do what you wanted.

    And yes, I voted for Kamala and told everyone to vote for her. Her campaign shat the bed by chasing right-wing voters and by ignoring the genocide their admin continued to aid. “At least I’m not the other guy” does not work or inspire votes.

      Guess you can smugly smile about your moral superiority as they “finish the job” in the final Nakhba.
