    “Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration’s full, unobstructed support for Israel’s campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land,” Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.

    “It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine.”

    What? If it’s not Trump, nor Biden, nor Harris who decides, why was only Harris punished for it?

      why was only Harris punished for it

      Trump: “I’m doing genocide.”

      Harris: “I’m also doing genocide.”

      Palestinians: “I can’t vote for either of these two.”

      Liberals: “Well then, I guess you deserve the genocide you get.”

        Wasn’t this specifically against Harris? I get why they were against Harris, I just don’t know why they were only “Abandon Harris” instead of abandoning the whole process or what have you.

          Wasn’t this specifically against Harris?

          It was specifically against the current administration, which was funding and propagandizing a genocide.

          The turnout for Democrats plunged between 2020 and 2024. A big chunk of that came from liberal Midwesterners staying out of the election entirely because they had no candidate to support in the race.
