    If they were good faith criticisms, sure. But they’re just propaganda. All this talk about Gaza will vanish like a fart in the wind after the election.

      Can’t say I haven’t seen the conflict used as propaganda to encourage not voting - that does exist and it’s counterproductive assuming there’s no massive direct action campaigns going on at the same time (which would probably have to be something massive, something akin to a left’s version of January 6th).

      That being said, how is criticizing Kamala about her stance on Israel a bad faith criticism? I genuinely do not understand - there’s a literal genocide going on there being committed by Israel, with Palestinians being deliberately starved, bombed and Gaza being mostly rubble by now. Aggression is being shown to their neighbors now as well with the conflict being escalated by Israel, and US directly supports both of these horrible events.

      What’s happening right now in Gaza is akin to the holocaust, at least according to some historians specializing in the field, and just handwaving it as some non-issue that will be forgotten just to protect your preferred political candidate from any kind of criticism is just sad.

        Genocides happen a lot, and rarely do American voters care. I’m not saying it’s objectively not important, I’m just saying the only reason people care now is election propaganda. If it weren’t for that, it would be just another “oh that’s horrible, change the channel I think the game is starting”.

      Exactly. They’ll disappear and resurface as alt accounts that will play the victim of their own ignorance.
