    What in saying is that it probably doesn’t have much to do with Gaza. People voted on the economy.

      I’d argue that 98% of US voters don’t care about Gaza whatsoever. It’s a wedge issue for a very small minority but was unlikely to significantly affect the race in the big picture.

      Almost everybody I know bitches about the price of groceries (regardless of where they place the blame) but I only know a couple people in the Real/Outside World who regularly talk about the Gaza genocide.

      Mmm now explain to me how you were going to get harris to shift on inflation, a position she already signalled she’d fire the most effective agent we have for it. (Khan).

      When you wouldnt even be budged on mass murder? God do i dread the conversations about how to fight inflation effectively due to corporate greed. That is a hard and incredibly nuanced conversation with no clear answer. Gaza is easy in comparison.

      You’d just blame us for undermining harris over inflation instead of gaza. The topic doesn’t matter.

      You jnow the most effective way to get people to vote? Give. Them. What. They. Want.

      For Michigan it was gaza, for Pennsylvania it was inflation. Sadly your too politically unaware and rather just blame others for not seeing reason than challenging your candidate for their shit platform.

          And you realize thats the issue right? You bought into lesser evil so hard you gave harris the signal she could shit on arabs, laborers, lgbt+, women and still get their vote instead of putting forward policies that would have got people to show up. Combine that with the prior that trump is so bad a red wave wouldn’t happen and you made a perfect environment for harris to run a shit campaign.

          Americans didnt want biden 2.0 they wanted a firebrand who’d gonafter corporations, tackle inflation, bring back the american dream. Houses. Etc.

          But na, its everyone elses fault.
