all the people who refused to vote for kamala must be so pleased with how little palestinian genocide is about to happen. aren’t they? well? aren’t they?
no?
gee it sure sounds like their whole little plan backfired in the worst possible way come to think of it, ACTUALLY.
Sure. If you make your vote conditional on supporting a certain policy, then you create an incentive for politicians to support that policy in the future. Politicians have no incentive to care about the concerns of people who support them unconditionally. That means it’s at least potentially the rational and strategic line to draw a red line somewhere, and if you agree with that, then it’s pretty obvious that genocide is crossing that line.
Pretty simple. As the saying goes, why buy the cow (give the voters what they want) when you can get the milk (votes) for free?
She didn’t merely, “Refuse to explicitly oppose Israel.” She and Biden were completely supportive of Israel, sending them more and more weapons (beyond what congress approved btw) no matter what they did and applying no pressure to them. They went after pro-Palestine protesters and refused to allow a Palestinian-American to speak at the convention. They made it extremely clear which side they were on, and thinking otherwise is just wishful thinking.
Nothing? What on earth did I say that gave you the impression that I thought Trump was better? I didn’t vote for Trump either. You’re ignoring what I said and going back to the strawman.
It didn’t backfire at all. If we can demonstrate that the Democrats can’t win if they support genocide, then maybe they won’t support genocide next time. And if they cannot be persuaded to listen to reason, then they need to be replaced by another party and the sooner we start on that the better.
Y’all think this was unexpected because you never bothered to understand our positions or arguments. You just strawman us and then believe your own strawman. Trump being worse on Gaza was already acknowledged and considered, there is no surprise here and no regret, we made the correct choice and will do it again if we have to.

Did you ever try asking someone to explain the reasoning, or did you you just assume whatever strawman you came up with was real?
