(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

I mean, I voted for Kamala, I pushed for the harm reduction ''best hand available'' strategy... but like... it was predicated on strategically sacrificing Palestine for the ''greater good''.
Sure, the alternative was sacrificing Palestine plus a bunch of additional minorities and at risk groups...
But it was still sacrificing a minority group. Less of a braindead take, more of a ''you caught us, we did indeed try to strategically sacrifice as few minorities as possible while abandoning those we thought we had no chance to save even if logically a large scale united front would have potentially meant sacrificing no one'' take.
I still believe it was our best play, but only because a terrifying percentage of folks left of MAGA felt it was a necessary sacrifice.
No. The genocide was just as "accelerated" under the Democrats, and they were just as steadfastly opposed to slowing or stopping it, as over a year of fruitless attempts to get them to showed. The only difference is that you were a genocide denier when it was your team doing it. In that sense, Trump has been better for Gaza, because at least now you people will actually acknowledge what's happening.
You had already condemned all of Gaza on the alter of lesser evilism, and if you'd gotten your way, you'd still be doing genocide denial and apologia.
