If Kamala loses, I actually don’t think them blaming the left is gonna work. She went so unabashedly hard right in the campaign, and she was doing so well when she let Walz do his thing. Then she inexplicably made Liz Cheney her de facto VP and started talking like an open fascist.
I don’t know if we can pin it all on Gaza, but I do think the only conclusion anyone will be able to come to is campaigning to the right of Biden was terrible.
I want to see Kamala lose if it’s Michigan that does her in, otherwise idc.
GA leaning Trump, PA leaning Harris, NC is a split.
Comrades in the global south are unanimous: the results of the US election do not matter, the empire will grind on regardless.
On November 5, I will vote against genocide
"What I have seen in Palestine has convinced me not to vote for Kamala Harris for the sake of the Palestinian and American people."
I'm posting this because this was written by someone who's been there on the ground and I do like how he ties it to how he plans on voting.
Not so! Matthew Miller wants you to know he is very concerned about the safety and lives of journalists:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ratio like that before, jfc
Israel has killed more journalists in Gaza in one year (170) than all the journalists killed in WW2 (67) and the Vietnam War (68) combined.
Seeing shifts in polling on Thurs-Fri.
It really does seem like the momentum has shifted in Kamala’s favor. While I do think it’s still basically a coin flip, I’ve gone from slightly favoring Trump to slightly favoring Kamala in the last couple days.
And if Kamala ends up winning and you’re feeling a bummed about it, just remember that we cannot “punish” the Democratic Party. If they do lose Michigan due to Gaza and losing Michigan causes them to lose it all, that will not change their policies and attitude towards Palestinians one iota. They will not have a come-to-Jesus moment and decide they need to change course. The genocide in Gaza is America’s genocide, subcontracted out to the Israelis. The current uniparty policy of fascism and imperial domination of Western Asia will continue unabated regardless of who is president. We have to find alternate routes and do what we can to support the Resistance, in whom the only hope for liberation rests.
Yes, I’m trying to figure what reason Iran’s leadership may have for talking this way if they didn’t plan on backing it up with action, and I can’t think of any. Even if they wanted to speak in a way that kept pressure on the US and Israel to stop the genocide but didn’t commit them to action, different words and softer language could have been chosen (I’m admittedly relying on US subtitles but I’m not sure that matters).
Regardless, stay safe comrade.
The facts are staring everyone in the face: Harris swung hard right and it killed enthusiasm from the base. The polls all showed that dem voters didn’t want to keep arming Israel and hated campaigning with a Cheney, and she told them all to fuck off.
