I know I'm going against the grain here, I'm obviously no Harris lover, but also I'd prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that's controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don't want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.

If by grassroots pressure you mean "massive social upheaval and widespread protest and civil unrest" then yeah.

But she's always going to support the Palestinian genocide. She's said so herself. There's no circumstances where she will stop funding and arming the IDF.

The Biden administration has given an ultimatum threatening to stop military aid if aid to northern Gaza doesn't increase, with a deadline shortly after the election.

They've already murdered in large excess of 50 thousand people, likely over a hundred thousand when accounting for missing and undocumented deaths. Nearly a year ago they opened machine gun fire on a crowd of people trying to get flour. It's been a genocide this entire time. He has not stopped military aid. Kamala herself has literally said,

“I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militias. My commitment to the security of Israel is unwavering,” “When we think about the threat that Hamas, Hezbollah… Iran present, I think that it is without any question, our imperative to do what we can to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks,”

She is open about the fact that there do not exist any circumstances where she will stop funding the IDF and the actions of the IDF. Israel has claimed to be "defending itself" for the past year. The Palestinian genocide is what they mean by defending themselves.

I'm trans too. I am horrifically afraid of what a fascist American government can and would do to us. This entire election cycle has been a literal nightmare. We can't just pretend reality is different though, we can't just pretend that the Democratic party have not themselves been active participants in the genocide of a colonized ethnicity in the middle east. It's depressing but it's the truth. They've blocked the ICJ from taking action, they've blocked UN motions to take action, they've consistently worked against recognizing the state of Palestine, and they have funded and armed a genocide.
