(106,978 posts)as a rebuke to a few American losers who are fairly anti-capitalist and will not be reading it. No, the world is not about what you blame the 2024 US presidential election loss on.
Yes, it does matter what the world wants. If you think the fate of Gaza is "up to Trump and Netanyahu", then you are capitulating to them, like certain law firms and universities capitulated to Trump - "oh well, he's powerful, I want a quiet life, let him do what he wants, I'll use this as a way to blame some people I don't like and who were actually pretty powerless themselves".
The American Prospect was full behind Kamala. It had, for instance, an explicit warning that the US needed to support her, and that not voting for her would not have fixed anything about Gaza:
I refer to those voters so understandably appalled by Israels war on Gaza and the toll its taken in innocent lives that they may not vote, or vote for Jill Stein, as a way of protesting the Biden administrations continued provision of arms for Netanyahus war, and Harriss refusal to cleanly break with that policy.
Its by no means clear how not voting for Harris will stop Israels destruction of Gaza and the attendant slaughter of innocent lives. It is perfectly clear, however, that it will imperil millions of innocent lives right here in the USA should it lead to a Trump victory.
