Visiting reddit is…I mean these people really are located in their own echo chamber aren’t they. The genocide was hardly unpopular with Republicans, but it was extremely unpopular among democrat voters and yet despite that she decided to dive headlong into defending it.
Gee, what could she have done to earn those voters to her side…let me think…MAYBE STOP SUPPORTING THE DAMN THING?!
Reagan and Bush, both REPUBLICANS, put in the effort to threaten Israel with cutting their support to them and they got results; the only reason I can see why the DNC would support the genocide is because there’s something to gain, either that or ideological reasons.
Absolute idiots; they did this to themselves and now libs are upset with everyone but Kamala’s own failures. You know what makes me angry? Just how deaf libs are to reason; they’ll just tell one another it was everyone else’s fault and, much like that failure Kamala, refuse to listen to the people desperately telling them why they’re not voting for her WHO ALSO TOLD THEM HOW EASY IT WOULD BE TO GET OUR VOTES!
There was a tweet on the reddit front page that actually said Kamala lost because the uneducated voted for Trump. These people are lunatics.
I saw this great comment on thedeprogram
She definitely would have won if she stood up to Israel
Hey, thanks for this; someone addressed a reply I made and said that Kamala and Biden ‘made their calculus’ on how many votes they’d get if they changed course on Israel vs if they stayed it and decided that continuing to support Israel would be better for them; this proves whatever ‘calculus’ they made (let’s be real, they didn’t calculate anything) was junk.
The genocide of Palestine is what radicalized me. Well, the final step anyway. The 100% cumulative inflation over 4 years, along with my rent going up by $3600 a year for the last 4 years, along with my income decidedly not going up by 100% did most of the legwork.
I was a solidly progressive leaning liberal before I couldn’t ignore reality anymore.
I’m talking hating on China, shit talking working class folks, the whole nine yards. I voted for Biden in 2020.
But I just couldn’t reconcile in my mind how my fellow liberals could support this obvious genocide so wholeheartedly with a smile on their face.
And here I am. One less Harris vote and one more PSL vote.
