If only they'd put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.

It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign's polling showed that it was a losing position.

FAFO! Big time. Bunch of idiots. They do not understand that Israel has the USA by the balls and this has been going on since the USS Liberty.

Oh look at that, exactly what literally every sane person predicted would happen is happening.

The fact the other side is even worst doesn't make your side less bad...

I would be curious to see the numbers but I don't think the pro Palestine protest voters cost the Democrats the election. It definitely didn't help, but the Dems shat the bed in way more ways than just the Palestine situation.

If they did, then all the neolibs were wrong that voters don't care about Palestine...

Which logically means the party needs to move to the left at least enough so that genocide isn't acceptable.

Instead, they act like fucking trump supporters and brag that a genocide is still happening.

There's zero logic or empathy with them, which is why some people call them "blue maga".

They're the ones that didn't stop watching CNN even after the new buyers blatantly and publicly said their goal was to become the fox news if he left.

Finally I can stop wondering how the protest voters handle aiding and completing a genocide while claiming to have any sense of morality at all.

They ignore it because they never cared, that's IT! NOTHING ELSE. ITS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSES FAULT BECAUSE OF THEIR NARCISSISM.

What does that make the people who voted for the genocide the first time around and still failed to get their person re elected?

Is it possible that a lot of protest voters had family who were bombed and that's why they care?

Trump claiming credit for ceasefire and then destroying the region was always Bibi's plan. The propalestine protestors were against the administration for refusing to acknowledge that the israeli's were not negotiating in good faith. Had they played hard ball things might have been different.

Bullshit. I voted against my conscience because I knew orange would harm people I love. It wasn’t enough.

Dems didn’t offer anything compelling because they are a failed party that can only drive votes with threats of even worse. It’s pretty easy to not fund a genocide and lie and say it isn’t happening when it clearly is. Dems can blame only themselves for poor turnout.
