    They knew that was going to happen. They care more about their own sense of purity than whether Palestinians live or die.

    I was eagerly looking forward to people coming into the comments saying how all of us don’t understand, Kamala was an unprecedented villain because she was adjacent to a whole different person who was all squeamish about putting the brakes on the genocide he didn’t want, refusing to vote for her made PERFECT sense even now in the grisly light of hindsight, and installing someone instead who wants more genocide and a whole lot more is totally exactly what the Palestinians would have wanted.

    Come on guys, there’s only one so far. Surely we can muster up more than that.

      If that person is your boss and you’re trying to win a popularity contest then meaningfully diverging from their messaging is a good thing. Instead she mirrored his messaging. She could have been speaking in good faith, but nobody believed her because of her boss’ bad faith.

    Wasn’t that the point? They knew both sides would be pro Israel and sent a message that without more Palestinian support, the Dems wouldn’t just get their vote.

    It worked, the Dems have been nothing but shocked and aghast at the outcome. Now the pro- Palestine base are hoping the Dems turn against Israel for the 2026 election to win back their vote.

    …the Dems won’t, by the way. They might pay more lip service to it, but they’ll never be anti-Israel.

    I’m sure some of these strawman exist in a field somewhere keeping the crows away.

    Democrats need to get rid of First Past The Post voting in the blue states they control. Time to admit they need help and shouldn’t be going alone against the republicans

    More democracy. More chances to defeat the republicans. More people engaged and involved in the political process.
    More people voting = more votes for democrats. More chances of republicans electing a more moderate candidate.

    Electoral reform is an absolute win for the people of this country. Except for the legacy poltical parties. They will unfortunately have to compete for your vote. If they are unable to stay relevant, that’s on them for becoming weak and frail using FPTP as a crutch.

    Fuck around: do genocide, ignore your base who are apalled by genocide

    Find out: lose election

    If you want to keep losing, keep doing this same shit. Most liberals seem like they would rather lose than agree with online leftists.

    Equating not voting for Harris with voting for Trump is ridiculous and propagandistic. It’s straight up gaslighting.

    There isn’t 20 million pro-Palestinian people in the US. You liberals don’t want to admit it, but it was YOU who stayed home on Election Day. You made all that fuss about us needing to elect your YASS QUEEN SLAY corporate-funded DEI “hashtag ally” plutocrat, then didn’t even have the decency to get off your fat fucking asses, and skip brunch and your wine break for one fucking day to actually do your civic duty and vote.
