There has not, and will likely never be, a US president who is not sympathetic to Israel. It’s just variations of support. Kamala would not have been any different than Biden.

That is true; And it was major weakness for their campaign; A weakness that I believe they underestimated. I am not talking about just the republicans. Any foreign actor could use that weakness to instill doubt and despair on voters that don't support genocide. I remember a few years back trump was playing this whole ridiculous "Maga communism" angle. As a foreigner, I see on one side a party that is willing to lie cheat and say anything to win And on the other side a party that finds it difficult to capitulate to their voters. The fact that the first one won by such a small margin tells us that the Democrats still have an overwhelming support.

The 'Maga communism' is still alive and well, sadly. The ACP took over the r/socialist sub on reddit.

I mean, Ike crashed Israel's multinational invasion party, and was generally cold towards Israel.

That's precisely why she lost

lol ok. Look how great Trump is doing with it.

No, check the exit polls. Harris said the economy was fine and Trump said he'd fix it.

[–] freshcow@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Sure, agreed. My point was that enthusiam for Harris peaked when she chose Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro as VP, signaling a more progressive path. It came crashing down shortly after when she said she would do nothing different from Biden. People are sick of status quo politics.
