Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.

In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

    Although not voting was the wrong move, It’s important to hold the democrats accountable imo. They essentially lost the election because they considered genocide more important then their consituents.

    The fact is that Gazas fate would have been the same under both party. The way forward is to demand change from the democratic party to avoid such scenarios. Blaming voters implies it wasnt the democrats at fault in the first place for pushing apathy and genocide as their main platform. Even worse, it implies genocide somehow shouldnt be a voting issue.

      The hell it would have. To say that the fate of Gaza would have been the same is absolute horseshit.

      Democrats lost the election because a bunch of shitheel Muricans decided to stay home.

      It’s our fault and fuck y’all for trying to blame Democrats for not inspiring people to protect marginalized groups.

      Dems suck but so does the general population that refuses to take any responsibility for their part in making this happen.

      If you need a god damn politician to inspire you to think beyond yourself, you fuckin suck and are trash.

      Over it.

        Sorry your favorite genocider lost. It must be so hard for you that the other genocider is also doing genocide.

        I too hate the taste of my own medicine

        There’s absolutely no evidence that Harris getting elected would have done fuck all for Palestine.

        Democrats lost because a lot of people who voted for Biden in 2020 voted for Trump in 2024. This was due to a perception of a majority of voters that Trump was going to do a better job on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.

        When you look at the polling data, the genocide of Palestinians does not rank high at all, even among Democrats.

        Stop blaming people for what they do with their vote. That’s the entire fucking point of a democracy. Hold the right people accountable for thinking they could coast to victory on a strategy of “not being Trump”.
