I wonder how the "can't vote for Kamala because of Gaza" folks are feeling now

149. Scapegoating is the easy way out.

Tangentially, it also serves to deflect from the genocide imo. It's a twofer!

It is true that many people could not walk over nearly 50,000 dead bodies, mostly women and children, to get to the voting booth.

But instead of blaming them for a HUMAN reaction, why not ask instead why their reaction was not foreseen and mitigated, especially given that the Democratic base largely was sympathetic towards Palestinians and was appalled by the genocide. This was KNOWN and stubbornly ignored.

But surely people know Harris didn't lose because of the Uncommitted movement, or Arab/Muslims. It is clear by now her loss was part of a broader political reconfiguration that started over a decade ago. It's the working class and sizable minorities that we are losing. Young people too.

Why it's happening is the hard question. Scapegoating serves to deflect from that question while continuing an agenda of demonization of a minority suffering a genocide.

I strongly oppose it fwiw.
