        The backlog is full of tickets about what the hell is going on with Italians, so white people are gonna have to be shut down for a while. Sorry, I don’t set priority, you’re gonna have to take that up with the stakeholders.

    Harris had a huge lead in the polls around September.

    If they had forced Netanyahu to accept the same ceasefire that was negotiated in May and which Trump forced him to accept, then I’m sure Harris would have won.

    Imagine if, at the DNC, Hersh Goldberg-Polin was the one standing on the stage, along with Rashida Tlaib.

    Imagine how strong Harris would have looked if she had been the one to fly to Tel Aviv, force Netanyahu to work on Shabbat and got the deal made.

    I think that display of strength would have won them the election.

    And if they had really wanted to win, I’m sure they could have twisted some arms to get Saudi-Arabia to pump more oil as part of the deal and bring oil prices down.

    The Saudi elite are terrified of getting murdered for supporting Israel. They would be happy to pump some oil if they came out of this looking like heroes for the Palestinians.
