Turns out asking dems to have principles works better than texting STOP.
Any time I catch a lib saying anything about undecided costing them the election, I point out “Kamala basically turned to the camera and said ‘Fuck you if you care about Gaza, we’ll win without you.’”
well, you can’t say it didn’t work out for the democratic party in the end: the left is out of power
We did it, Joe!
That article is aggravating.
The warnings didn’t work. “It was striking was that there just wasn’t recognition of the real life and death stakes,” said the official, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “Everyone respected that there was grief and pain. But how do you ignore being told countless times, ‘Here is a direct quote of Trump saying he wants Gaza leveled’?”
Real life and death stakes? People were fucking dying and you’re saying THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND THE LIFE AND DEATH STAKES?!! Of course they knew Trump was outwardly pro-Israel but that didn’t mean they were too stupid to understand that Biden and Harris were just as much, they just had slightly better rhetoric, which doesn’t matter at all to people’s current material conditions.
I don’t know how I can talk to my Dem organizer friends if they think and talk like this. It’s hopeless if this is their thoughts and strategy. And they don’t seem to have learned anything, either. The article was so biased, too. It dedicated a lot more words and space to the unrepentant Dem campaign staff over the Palestinian-Americans, their US voting movements, and their reasons.
I had a convo one of their phone bank people, their response was literally IDPOL. The lady talking to me said she was Jewish. She didn’t have an answer to my case against Israel, but said that having a woman in the white house would basically bring in some sort of wisdom and there would be a “better chance” at a resolution to Gaza.

Pay no attention to Margaret Thatcher, Queen Elizabeth, or any of Israel’s female prime ministers.
Angela Merkel also repeatedly referred to the security of Israel as Germany’s historical duty and “reason of state”
Ah yes, the Staatsräson. Angela Merkel’s macchiavellianism is a very under-discussed topic, people still don’t get how deeply ruthless she is because she’s so successful at maintaining the facade of being the harmless elderly lady next door who bakes apple crumble.
