There was no way of “changing Kamala’s mind.” If there was, it would have been through exerting pressure before the election. Once she knew that pro-Palestine people would fall in line even when she was 100% pro-Israel, she would have absolutely no reason to change positions, if anything, she’d be more likely to become more pro-Israel, because the pro-Israel voters would be more likely to be swing voters. This is why the ideology of “lesser-evilism” is fundamentally incorrect, and how it led to politics shifting further and further right to the point we’re at now.
Please explain exactly what mechanism do you think could’ve been employed to change her mind. Protests? There were widespread campus protests during the election season, and she still didn’t respond to them at all.
And why would she? The left has a proven track record of falling in line behind the lesser evil, no matter how much bluster there might be. Based on that assumption, the politically smart move (if all you care about is winning elections) is to completely ignore all of the left’s demands and keep moving further and further right forever. Now, we have something to show that our words are not meaningless, hollow threats. If there is any possibility of stopping the rightward shift through electoralism, this is it.
we’ll probably not have elections again
Obviously we will. Not that it will matter, because the two party system is completely fucked and y’all refuse to do anything about it.
Damn you people are dense. It’s not like the sitting president has been talking about canceling elections…oh wait
All you voting objectors did was lead to more dead minorities. The people Trump’s new Reich is targeting. We have a fascist military in our streets killing people and all you can do is still whine about how Kamala was flawed.
Obviously, you can’t be reasoned with, so I won’t bother. Just know that I’m just as committed to my approach as ever.
When the next election happens (after you wipe the egg off your face) I suggest you take into account that people like me exist, and that we’re not bluffing, and we’re not going to “come to our senses,” and you should factor that into your evaluation of which candidates are actually electable.
I don’t care if you think it’s “MAGA level logic.” As I said, I don’t give a shit if you think I’m acting irrationally or that I’m a bad person. I know that I’m not.
The fact of the matter is that the only recourse you have is to demand policy concessions to my side if you want to win. Support a centrist and you’ll get another Trump. I’m “irrational,” right? So it doesn’t matter what words you say to try to convince me. Give me what I want (ending the mass slaughter of innocents) or we all go down together.

I’ll take egg on my face over blood on my hands.
Here the a list of those you helped ice murder
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/04/ice-2025-deaths-timeline
I didn’t help ICE murder anyone. Is Claudia de la Cruz ordering the raids?
You, on the other hand, do have blood on your hands from the Palestinians you helped murder.
And this is our fundamental disagreement. No action I could take would have stopped the US’s support of the genocide.
However there was 1 action that I chose to take that could have prevented those murders. You chose in-action resulting in more deaths
If inaction is “helping,” then rest assured that I helped Kamala get elected and am prepared to do so again.
Ah yeah that totally is a logical approach to what was said.
