As in 2020, Joe Biden campaigned on a platform to save democracy, but fewer voters were persuaded this time. During the Democratic primary season, more than half a million Americans cast votes for "Uncommitted" ballot options to send Biden a message about the urgent need to end the killing in Gaza, with some tagging him "Genocide Joe." In contrast, mainstream liberals backed the Democratic ticket in the belief that Trump would put America on the road to fascism. As the director of an influential Palestinian advocacy group tells Barkan, "It's a choice between fascism or genocide." Biden's withdrawal from the election and Kamala Harris's subsequent nomination barely changed the narrative. Millions of Democrats stayed home after souring on the party, while others switched allegiance and got behind the Trump team. Fascism or Genocide takes a hard, informed look at the election, focusing on the future of the Democratic Party, the influence and potential of the progressive "Squad," and ongoing culture wars within the party"-- The Squad -- Trump -- Biden -- Social justice -- Israel -- Culture -- The election -- The changing resistance. adult Ross Barkan. n-us--- awgz--- Presidents United States Election 2024 United States Politics and government 2009-2017 United States Politics and government 2017-2021 United States Politics and government 2021- Democracy United States History 21st century Political culture United States Israel-Hamas War, 2023- Influence Gaza Strip History Bombardment, 2023- Influence États-Unis Politique et gouvernement 2009-2017 États-Unis Politique et gouvernement 2017-2021 États-Unis Politique et gouvernement 2021- Démocratie locale États-Unis Histoire 21e siècle Democracy History Presidents Election United States 2000-2099 fast 2009-2017 fast 2017-2021 fast JK528 .B37 2025 JK526 2024 .B37 2025 324.973 9781804299388 1804299383 9781804299395 Random House Inc, Attn Order Entry 400 Hahn rd, Westminster, MD, USA, 21157 POD XYZ 250722 20250831210357.5 in00005661968 eng
