We are in a post-political age. Now what matters is movements.
I donated monthly, and canvassed exhaustively in a failed attempt to elect Kamala Harris — motivated largely by a desire to defeat Trump.
So why, less than a month later, am I diminishing the significance of politics?
There IS A Difference Between the Parties, BUT…
I voted for Harris because she is (mostly) a kind person and Trump is (mostly) a cruel one. I value kindness and have no use for cruelty.
Some bashed Harris because she was part of the Biden administration which has been supporting Israel as that country brutalizes and kills Gazans. Now, in the United States, the VP does not make policy. The VP has basically one power—to vote in the Senate when there's a tie.
Nonetheless, she was part of the administration that’s been supporting Israel. She, and every single administration in history since Israel’s creation, supported Israel. Harris did nothing different than every other politician who got to the executive branch.
Including Trump. He loves Netanyahu and who objected to his policies only because, according to Trump, the Israeli Prime Minister wasn’t killing Gazans fast enough.
