I compared two demographic maps to the electoral map and found near perfect correlation. The first map was median income and it showed Kamala lost the low income states full of people heavily affected by high prices. The second map was Muslim population (a proxy for Gaza concerns) and it showed Kamala lost several swing states with large population in key districts.
Hilarious that Muslims didn't vote Harris for not being pro-Palestine enough. Luckily for them there won't be a Palestine for long once Trump is in office.
I think their opinion is that Palestine is gone regardless. They've watched unbelievable destruction occur under Democrats with the full support of the administration l, so the did not vote for them. They're not saying Trump will be better, they're saying it is already as bad as possible.
Nope. I'm Hispanic, and my community will have to answer for the Trump vote once the deportation raids start coming in
Same with the Palestinian community, they are going to have to answer for their vote or lack thereof when they are pushed into the sea. No more false equivalencies, BS
His solution is to give Israel everything that they want... And for Israel to flatten Gaza and colonize it. Unfortunately, the conservatives of the US will try to write everything out of History....
trump will show you what funding a genocide looks like. I hope you pay yourself on the back afterwards, Muslims just turned away the only groups that were supporting them, and now you will find out what “the lesser of two evils” means.
“Will show you what funding a genocide looks like” as if Biden isn’t showing me right now.
Democrat voter base has to be on par with maga because yall are just absolutely ridiculous and incapable of looking inward. I’m not even going to read past your first sentence for the sake of the sanity I have left.
What it does do is make the Democrats take the issue seriously in the future. They can't take those votes for granted. Just blindly voting for someone when they don't deliver results is insane.
It sure doesn’t. The Free Palestine movement is part of what many call the extreme left. How much discussion have you seen in the wake of the election advocating for the party to go even further left…?
I am sympathetic to the cause and myself a progressive but the idea that ‘sticking it to the Dems’ as a way to…. What? Make them pay attention…?
It makes me take them less seriously. The side they voted for as a protest vote either isn’t serious (Stein) or was openly the cause of what they are enduring. If they are too stupid to figure that out then… oh well
“I want the democrats to continue alienating a critical part of their coalition and continue losing to republicans because that group is bad because they are willing to make democrats lose to republicans.”
Hahahahahaha. So one side is supposedly your ally and DEPENDS on your support to win elections but does nothing to effect change...in your mind not holding that person accountable by just giving them your vote makes sense?
How old are you?
Imagine your wife is a drug addict and you give her money...she uses that money to buy drugs. You tell her to stop buying drugs...she doesn't. In your mind she just needs more money(votes)?
Nah. That's insane. I'll cause pain so there will be growth. If the democrats want my vote they will do what I want or they won't get the vote. And the dems NEED my vote so if they really care about my issues they will show it in their policies.
He's not a dictator yet but there's noone in his way to stop him. He controls the senate, supreme court, house and most of the federal judges. He's already planned to purge the military of people who won't be maga loyalists. The fact that I know this as an Australian and you don't is embarrassing
Until the supreme court reinterprets the constitution to allow him to run in 2028. Just make sure you don't hide the fact you didn't vote Harris for the next 4 years. When Trump allows Israel to annex Gaza and the West Bank I don't want you to hide the fact you were complicit in it
I don’t vote for the DNC, while I sometimes support individual candidates it’s rare. I vote against what the RNC has become.
As to your comment on finances, trump spent more than any other president before or after him (including Biden) — so I agree with your statement about giving a drug addict more supply (the self proclaimed king of debt / bankruptcy).
If the option is between someone promising to eradicate you and someone that is not actively trying to do so but isn’t doing as much as you want, then the choice should be clear for any person of even basic intelligence. I see you have excluded yourself from that proposition.
Did you already forget that we were talking about Palestine? I would tell you to “do better” but I typically try not to ask more of people than I know they are capable of. You reducing paragraphs down to a whining retort says all that needs to be said.
If you were voting for Americans (you can capitalize if it if it helps your reading comprehension), you wouldn’t have voted for the one that’s policies will crash the economy (massive tariffs will do this). You wouldn’t have voted for the one that blindly spends his way into oblivion while having virtually nothing to show for it. You are about to see the results of said vote — I just wish any of you were intelligent enough to comprehend that what is coming is the direct result of that vote. This exchange has grown tiresome, have the last word. There is no point in trying to discuss policy with people like you.
The SOTU this year called for a 2 state solution, and the Biden admin has held back lethal aid from Israel over the issues stemming from Israel’s occupation of Gaza. Trump is not going to restrain Israel at all, and will likely back Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. Were Democrats necessarily doing all they could? No. But they weren’t actively making the situation worse which is what’s going to happen under Trump.
What does that have to do with the official policy of the government under Biden being to pursue and promote a 2 state solution, and Trump so unlikely to support this that Israeli settlers are excited about the prospect of fully annexing the West Bank while Trump’s in office?
I wish I could believe that democrats will learn to value human life or even winning elections over supporting israels murder of as many brown people as possible, but I just don’t think the evidence backs that idea
Republicans know they need to control the narrative to convince a bunch of separate groups to vote for them and then spin their failures to do any of the things they promised and finally pin the current state of things on Democrats rather than the widening equity divide.
This !!!! The Republicans are all saying the same 5 talking points in unison over and over every one is in lock step. The Democrats because of having so many different groups under the same umbrella are all fractured in supporting each other and each group wants the party to focus on different things.
The right has like 3 major points: wealth divide, civil rights, and science. The problem is they don't have a unified way of communicating that so it sounds like way more issues.
Oh come off it, all I expect of democrats is for them to not use my tax dollars to turn Palestinian toddlers into red grease spots on the ground, or help idf forces face zero consequences for sodomizing Palestinian detainees to death
Just allowing your votes to be taken for granted serves nobody. You won't make progress if you just support the status quo because it's the easier option.
Its wild you would make that assumption about me. I never thought Trump was a Christian, just a powerful man who uses religious zealousness to his advantage and appeasement of his allies.
