Jon Stewart’s skit on not including Palestinian Americans in the DNC 🍉

he’s not wrong! they could put [multiple republicans on the stage](https://rollcall.com/2024/08/23/anti-trump-republicans-at-dnc-offer-tips-on-approaching-swing-voters/), they had all these sheriffs spouting authoritarian garbage about cops and border control, but they couldn’t give a single Palestinian five minutes?

i wish that Ruwa Romman had gotten a chance to [deliver her speech](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/dnc-speech-uncommitted-movement-harris-walz-ruwan-romman/).

> Let’s commit to each other, to electing Vice President Harris and defeating Donald Trump who uses my identity as a Palestinian as a slur.

> Let’s fight for the policies long overdue—from restoring access to abortions to ensuring a living wage, to demanding an end to reckless war and a ceasefire in Gaza.

> To those who doubt us, to the cynics and the naysayers, I say, yes we can—yes we can be a Democratic Party that prioritizes funding our schools and hospitals, not for endless wars. That fights for an America that belongs to all of us—Black, brown, and white, Jews and Palestinians, all of us, like my grandfather taught me, together.

Freedom being the theme of the campaign while suppressing Palestinians is just so fucking disgusting to me. Why does it always have to be freedom for some people leaving another group to get massacred on a daily basis

However I do hope you Americans make the right decision and elect her, at least there’s some hope she will do something cause Trump has made his approach known and it’s way worse
