The role of the #Gaza genocide in Kamala #Harris’s loss

The cause of #KamalaHarris’ disastrous failure in the 2024 presidential election will forever be debated, but there are good reasons to believe the Israeli genocide in Gaza played a significant role.

"We warned you," #Muslim voters tell #KamalaHarris after she goes down in flames

As 2024 election returns are finalized, it looks like the genocide of #Gaza cost #Harris at least two critical swing states

With #liberals going fully mask off and calling #ICE on their neighbors and saying they hope #Gaza “gets turned into a parking lot,” it’s worth tapping the sign.

"In our century, American politics has been blown open by the reverberating crises of neoliberalism and capitalist globalization. They have rebounded on our society and politics in four major forms: imperial blowback and endless warfare; deindustrialization and the hollowing out of American society; the rise of an engorged, predatory, and increasingly insane billionaire class, obsessed with eugenics and immortality; and the climate crisis, now a source of regular natural disasters and swelling refugee flows. At each juncture, the Democrats have attempted restoration: to manage the crisis, carry out the bailout, stitch things back together, and try to get back to normal. It is the form of this orientation, as much as substantive questions of culture, race, and gender, that seems to me the fundamental reason the Democrats are often experienced as a force of inhibition rather than empowerment by so many voters. And it is against this politics of containment that Trump’s obscenity comes to feel like a liberation for so many."

"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."

I’m still taken aback that the #DemocraticParty voter outreach strategy of yelling at strangers online who wanted the #genocide of #Palestine to end in lieu of reaching out to the non voters and undecideds and #republicans the #KamalaHarris was chasing after didn’t work

In #Dearborn, #RashidaTlaib Did Nearly Twice as Well as #KamalaHarris

#Harris refused to distance herself from the #Biden administration's support of Israel's war on #Gaza. #Tlaib railed against it.

Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With #KamalaHarris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State Votes

Organizers are facilitating protest votes for people in swing states to register their dissent — without handing a victory to #DonaldTrump.

[I just learned about this around 11:45pm ET November 4. I signed up as a swing-state voter, and in 5 minutes got connected with 2 safe-state voters who agreed to vote for #JillStein as a swap for my (very reluctant) vote for #Harris. I feel much better now. ]

Why the #Democrats were #Israel’s perfect partners in genocide

By masking support for Israel with hollow humanitarian gestures and empathy for #Palestinians, #Biden and #Harris have diluted pressure to end the war.
