I am not convinced any significant number of people voted for Trump because they supported Palestine. Feels like a massive straw man meant to stoke divisions in the left.

No, they didn't, but I think a lot of people didn't vote for Harris who otherwise would have

Question. Would Harris have done better if she had a more tough stance on Isreal? Like what votes would she have lost if she committed to ending the genicide? The Arab and Muslim coalitions at the DNC told them that the Muslim and Arab vote was at risk of the Biden administration didn't change course and that Harris would lose their support of she didn't come out with a concrete plan to end the genicide...

I'm my opinion it was a huge mistake to back Isreal in this election. It's not like zionest or evangelical Christians were going to vote blue anyways. Why turn your back on millions of voters in swing states for genicide. Total head scratcher of a decision. Biden nor Harris said they'd work towards a two state solution or allow the UN to enforce and demiliterize both sides. The most support I heard from either was the day before the election. Harris said she'd seek a ceasefire but that was it.

Voting is inherently transactional. The Arab and Muslim Americans told the party what they needed to do to secure their support and the party said no.

They would've lost the LGBTQ vote if they made a hard course correction against the only LGBTQ friendly country in the middle and condemned all those queer people to die.

A rock and a hard place.

What LGBTQ community have you been talking to? I find that hard to believe

The they are both the same crowd.....

They knew that was going to happen. They care more about their own sense of purity than whether Palestinians live or die.

I don't think most people who really cared about Palestine voted Trump, and I also don't think they were anywhere close to deciding the election anyway.

What's the point of this smugposting exactly?

They get to feel smugly righteous from it, that's all.

I don't really buy that the "leftists sank kamala" narrative is accurate. There's just two Americas and one is bigger than the other.

How do you explain the drop in the dem vote between 2020 and 2024 then?

I feel like the leftists not voting for Kamala would be more likely to sit home and not vote at all. Which would line up pretty well with the shitty leftist turnout.

Equating not voting for Harris with voting for Trump is ridiculous and propagandistic. It's straight up gaslighting.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Not voting for Harris is one vote because it takes one of her votes away. Voting for Trump out of spite is two votes (taking one away from her and giving one to him).
