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.
That article is aggravating.
