    Can I complain about the fact that the Biden/Harris admin prioritized continuing a genocide over beating Trump?

      You can, so long as you acknowledge that them taking an anti Israel stance would most likely also lead to Trump due to other democrats feeling alienated, and thus, a Trump administration that will do even more genocide.

      The sad truth just seems to be that not even among democrats that position is a majority. No matter what you voted for, it would most likely not have changed that. The US needs like 20-40 years of progressive change before the majority is ready to take on such positions, and the way to ensure that timeline becomes longer and longer, is by making choices that undercut even small steps there.

      Don’t vote for the lesser evil, vote for the path towards that eventual US where your opinion is held by the majority.

        Been trying that for decades and it hasn’t worked.

        The only reason I started voting for the Dems in the first place was because they were anti-war, now they are pro-war so things have moved backwards

      You could have if Trump was going to actually end the genocide instead of explicitly saying he was going to make it even worse.

        How bout the fact that the Biden/Harris admin absolutely refused under any circumstances whatsoever to do their number one job of defending the country against domestic threats and a criminal regime? …and even used notorious opposition party members are their mascots?

          I didn’t say her campaign was good. But the choice was obvious. Either make things at home better while avoiding escalation around the world, or make things at home substantially worse while also escalating conflicts around the world including in Gaza.

          Harris could’ve just stood there and said “I’m not Trump” and I would say the exact same thing about the idiots that couldn’t bother to vote for her.
