How 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.
- apexalpha 8mo agoThese are statistics, not views of people. you can look up that certain groups rarely vote and other vote almost always.
- bdangubic 8mo agoYou can’t participate in a reasonable and important discussions once you say that being part of the student protest meant supporting Hamas. It is a disqualifying statement from any discussion on this topic
- Schmerika 8mo agoBecause polls before and after the election were crystal clear on this point. Over 30% of Biden 2020 voters said arming genocide was going to affect their vote. That's BIDEN VOTERS. 80% of Democrats wanted an arms embargo. Arming Israel meant giving up millions of votes in swing states, in an election that was lost by extremely slim margins in those states. And before you ask, it was also clear from polling that ending support to Israel would have cost nearly zero votes from her base. And the reason the Harris campaign didn't know this is because they didn't want to know. Campaign staffers were instructed to mark anyone who raised Gaza as "no response". Attendees of the DNC conventions were literally plugging their ears and shielding their eyes from protests, or even laughing about them.
