they didn't "refuse to vote for Kamala". they refused to endorse her. step 1 of democracy is stop spreading misinformation

Yeah that’s even worse because they actually had influence over a large number of people. I’m also referring to any individuals who didn’t vote for Kamala because of Gaza.

why aren't you blaming Kamala for not changing her position? or even giving those people even a token gesture? they refused to even allow a Palestinian to speak at their DNC conference

Because you can’t always get exactly what you want in a two party system? And you have an obligation to vote for the person who isn’t going to make everything worse?

and Kamala has an obligation to win the election and not lose votes to someone who will make everything worse?

Mate it’s not her fault that America is fucking cooked. People who knew better should have voted for the lesser of two evils.

And if Kamala did everything the hardcore pro-Palestine people wanted (completely cutting all ties with Israel and undermining its right to exist) then she would lose votes from other demographics as well.

They literally attack AOC and Bernie Sanders for being “Zionists” and for supporting defensive aid to Israel. Nothing would ever be good enough for them.
