    Yes, and try running a presidential campaign on that and see how it works out for you.

    Democrats tried to play the demographics, and they lost. Their courting the center was 100% a utilitarian move.

    If they had gone all out on Israel/Palestine, they would have lost BIG. Unfortunately, it’s only very recently that people have staretd to come around regarding Israel.

      The most popular politicians in the US are vocal about stopping the Palestinian Genocide, so yeah I absolutely would take that strategy if I was going to run.

      Do you have… any basis for your beliefs or is this just all feelings and no facts for you?

        Those people don’t fucking vote.

        And that is a very recent turnaround. It’s only been very recently that people have started to come around on Israel.

          Uh…it was turning around like mid 2024. This is from March of 2024, and the numbers only keep falling from there:

          I’m only looking at Independents and Democrats; I don’t care about the % for the Republicans since they weren’t going to vote for Harris either way.

          Wait, which is it. Are Palestinian supporters too few to care about, or were they numerous enough to blame for the election loss? Cause you’re doing the classic fascist “our enemies are both incredibly weak and incredibly strong” bit.

          Give sources for your evidence or stop repeating lazy narratives like this. You devalue this entire conversation by diluting the meaningful parts of it with your arguments towards people you imagine exist and are most definitely in the room right now with us like some kind of ghost you keep insisting is present that none of the rest of us can see.
