Imo neither option should be seen as strategically sacrificing them, or throwing them under the bus, or what have you. The idea of a sacrifice presumes you have the option not to do it, there is no political reality in the United States where Palestine wins, only different degrees of fucked. If that was your main issue the options were a) accelerate the genocide with no possibility of slowing or stopping it politically b) continue the genocide with the possibility of stopping or slowing it at least being somewhere in the conversation or c) if a happens, a happens.
In my opinion most anyone who voted third party or didn’t vote on the basis of the Palestinian genocide does not truly care about the Palestinians, they simply submitted to the reality that the genocide would continue in some fashion regardless of who won and decided if it was the Nazi, so be it, america deserves it. Then they’ll learn!
In my opinion, those who voted third party or didn’t vote on the basis of the Palestinian genocide are themselves the ones willing to sacrifice Palestine on the alter of teaching the rest of us a lesson. In failing to recognize there was no option that would leave their hands entirely clean, they inadvertently have stained them with as much blood as the traitors who explicitly asked for this, and probably condemned all of Gaza.
If the first week and a half had been indicative of the rest of the campaign we’d have a woman in the white house right now. Skipping a meeting with Bibi, picking walz, Republicans are weird, joy, the coconut shit. Cringe as fuck but people were excited and that’s all that matters in American politics, then she came out and gave a full throated right wing speech at the dnc and it all went down from there. Cosplay republicans can’t beat the real thing.
They picked her for her lack of principals and the fact she’d shift to wherever she was told, it was more important to have a candidate that they could control than a candidate who could win. And now the whole world suffers more than it needed to.
The platform was “I’m really a Republican” though, not “I’m not a Republican.”
And given the choice of voting for a Republican or a cosplay Republican they’re gonna vote for the real thing.
