      What do you think it is, then? You think people there are labbing up the GOP bullshit?

      I’d say that alienating a shitload of potential voters would be pretty damn significant regardless.

      Far more people than required to sway a close election are opposed to genocide and the US participation in same

        If that group would rather burn down their own lives by getting Trump elected to prove an idiotic point, more power to 'em I guess. The population numbers still don’t swing the election though.

          They absolutely do

          Polls:

          Quotes

          In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withhold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they’d be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they’d be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely.

          • American Attitudes: Shifting Realities After the Unfolding Genocide in Gaza
          Quotes

          • Data For Progress Poll
          Quotes

          Majorities of Democrats (67%) and Independents (55%) believe the US should either end support for Israel’s war effort or make that support conditional on a ceasefire. Only 8% of Democrats but 42% of Republicans think the US must support Israel unconditionally.

          Republicans and Independents most often point to immigration as one of Biden’s top foreign policy failures. Democrats most often select the US response to the war in Gaza.

              You realize all these links you keep posting are months old, right?

              You realize that anti genocide sentiment has only INCREASED in the intervening time, right?

                Your data is outdated. Your polls are wrong is my point. Have fun continuing with your singular thought though.

          Democrats would rather hand victory to trump than abandon support for genocide.

            I like how Netanyahu being practically an open Trump supporter doesn’t spring to your mind as having anything to do with this.

              I hate how Democrats do everything he wants anyway.

              Brilliant non-rebuttal. I know that Democrats are pathologically incapable of accepting this, but if you want people to vote for you, you need to get their support.

              You are not entitled to support all the genocide you want without losing voters.

          I’m not advocating for people to vote for Trump or not vote. I’m 100% against both of those things.

          Which is exactly why I consider it a bad thing when the only realistic alternative are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by alienating people.

          That they’re doing so by not just propping up, but actually HELPING a genocidal apartheid regime that wants them to lose is just as stupid as it’s morally repugnant.
