Gaza is not worse off than if the democrats changed, because if the democrats changed they'd win, as you point out yourself. And then things would be better for Gaza. I know you're saying it's worse off under Republicans than under Democrats...I'm skeptical it would be any different, but whatever, sure, maybe it's 10% worse, idk. None of my business. I'm not voting for 10% less demonic when they could just stop being demons instead.

We're not fucked because we didn't vote for the Democrats, we're fucked because the Democrats decided that continuing to support a genocide was more important than winning. No one should be asked to hold their nose that hard. Getting killed by Nazis would be better than actively helping and legitimizing the diet-nazis. The domestic horror is a rounding error. Feel free to throw in other points if you want too, medicare for all, meaningful environmental regulation, or whatever you want, maybe those would have been enough to make a difference, but I think Palestine is a pretty goddamn huge one. The point is they were not trying to be minimally palatable. I'm sure you know, but in case you didn't, 2020 biden would have beaten 2024 trump...trump didn't win (he did worse than he did in 2020), the democrats lost hard.

The party doesn't cease to exist when it's not in power; they don't need to be in office to change. In fact, I'd say when they're in office they're impossible to change...why change when they're winning? The party platform could say "Israel is conducting a genocide in Palestine and if you vote for us we'll put a stop to US support for it." They could announce that first thing in the morning if they gave a shit. I'd be banging on doors for them tomorrow afternoon, and I don't think that's an unusual position. Since they don't give a shit about the genocide they have to carefully weigh whether it's worthwhile, from the perspective of electoral success, to alienate zionists in order to win the support of people who do give a shit. Fine, I can't control that. But I can control whether I vote for them or not; whether they actually have to consider that or not. Let them decide, but don't look at me askance for not wanting to vote for more support for genocide.

If you voted for Harris, she was explicit, you were voting for continued support for genocide in Palestine. Maybe you can hold your nose and say "relative to trump, some slight reduction in horror there and significant reduction in horror here is enough for me to vote for continued horror there," good for you, I 'aint judging, I don't care. I can't do that.
