It's baffling to me that the DNC decided it was more important to support Israel than win the election and do good things at home.
- robertoandred 8mo agoHarris had all sorts of good things planned at home. It’s baffling to me that some voters thought it was more important to lose the election.
- komali2 8mo agoVoters don't lose elections, campaigns do. Harris failed, and this kind of "turning around of the blame" thing that Dems try to do is one of the reasons why they don't win elections: they never learn.
- bdangubic 8mo agoyou mean election, not elections, right? cause you know, 2018, 2020…
- array_key_first 8mo agoThe reality is that Trump voters were (are?) dumb as rocks and tricked by simple populist messaging. There was nothing harris could've done short of succumbing to populism herself, and cloaking her campaign in dishonesty, fear, and simpleton reasoning. Maybe she shouldve done that, but you can see why she didn't.
- komali2 8mo ago> There was nothing harris could've done Then, there's no hope for America. Why bother running a candidate? Waste of money that could be spent on local elections. The reality is, Kamala could have won that election. Quite easily as well: 1. Don't send bill Clinton to Dearborn to lecture people on how it's ok to bomb Palestine actually 2. Don't try to pivot right on immigration, instead turn hard left: argue for citizenship for all undocumented immigrants with no criminal history 3. Ignore all culture war issues, focus on affordability and nothing else. Promise to raise taxes for the rich, end subsidies for oil and gas companies, and stop sending billions to Israel and other American imperialist vassals
- apexalpha 8mo agoHow can you look at the current support for Trump and conclude you would've won in the US by not supporting Israel?
- tdeck 8mo agoTrump won by less than 50% of the vote and there are many polls that show the Biden administration's genocide was massively demotivating to democratic voters.
- apexalpha 8mo agoSupporting Hamas over Israel would've hurt more, probably.
- orwin 8mo agoYou can also support neither.
- matsemann 8mo agoFalse dichotomy.
- apexalpha 8mo agois it? Because 'that part' of the Democrats were fully in support of Hamas. Have you seen the University protests? If the Dems caved to that they would've alienated 10 voters for every 1 student that might show up at the polls if it doesn't rain.
- matsemann 8mo agoBeing against genocide doesn't mean one supports Hamas. > student that might show up at the polls if it doesn't rain Please don't do that. Your view of other people is quite sad.
