Because Biden was not meaningfully opposing the genocide but would say he wanted peace. We can’t know whether Harris was actually lying when she said she didn’t want to change anything, but saying she’s in favor of a cease fire and saying she didn’t want to act any differently than Biden isn’t a contradiction. He said he wanted a cease fire, and then he armed and shielded the genocide. We already have the template for how that works.
You still are ignoring the fact that we were comparing Kamala and Trump.
And Trump said as a candidate he thought we should do even less than Biden, and now is doing exactly that. So where in all of this am I supposed to have expected that Kamala would have been the same as Trump?
At some point the genocide is bad enough that there’s not much difference in further degrees. Doing even less than Biden isn’t a whole lot less, because Biden was barely doing anything and none of it seems to have been at all effective. An advanced military with unrestrained targeting and an infinite supply of 500 lb. bombs can destroy things pretty completely.
Perhaps we should try to agree on what empowering means:
Trump’s actions are empowering the genocide because they are clearly supportive of both Israel’s bombing and occupation.
I call it giving “power”. AKA a nearly unlimited flow of weapons and diplomatic cover.
How does Trump decreasing restrictions not give more diplomatic cover?
