    And now America is paying the price for a bunch of people who thought that they would somehow stop genocide abroad by enabling the man who wants genocide domestically.

        Nothing new there but it didn’t stop Democratic candidates from doing what they needed to win elections in the past

      Didn’t Trump suggest nuking Palestine? No matter what these people say, it all just sounds like they were looking for any excuse to support Baby Huey while feeling better about themselves for doing so. If it wasn’t Palestine, it would’ve been something else.

      You won’t have a hard time arguing that Donald Trump is a massive piece of garbage, but your comment presumes that Kamala Harris and the Democratic party are entitled to votes.
      You’ll find there is a large portion of the Democratic base who are not motivated to vote for a pro-genocide candidate, which is exactly the entire point of this poll. The Democratic party needs to do better and stop fighting against the progressive wing of the party if they ever want to regain the trust of working class people. At a bare minimum you would expect them to respect international law. Then again, they’re doing exactly what AIPAC and defense industry paid them to do, same as the Republicans.

        My comment presumes her opponent was a rapist fascist dictator. But that wasn’t enough for Americans.

        And the Democratic Party isn’t going to do better because it will only exist in name only from now on. You and others got what you wanted. Now you’re going to have to live with the consequences. If you live.

    This is the same poll as was taken down last time. And the takeaways aren’t being objectively discussed by Common Dreams or IMEU.

    The swing states set Economy first, Gaza second. Gaza leads only if you include every state. And There’s no real discussion of the negative side. How many voters would she lose in swing states for breaking with Biden’s message? Particularly Pennsylvania, their must win state, which had the lowest support for Gaza.

    I think we can realistically say Gaza is a big issue for Democrats but we already knew that from previous polling. I think we can also realistically say that the combination of her Gaza policy, Economic policy, and support for the most extreme immigration legislation in my lifetime, all contributed to her loss.

    Idiots. They contributed to Trump getting elected, who will be a thousand times worse for Gaza than Harris would have been. These are dumb voters. Fuck them.
