    These arguments always pretend that Israel didn’t have a TON of popular support in the US at that time.

    Always talks about one side of the coin, that Democrats coming out strongly in support for Palestine would have won over x, y or z cohort, while completely ignoring the significant number of people who would have refused to vote for a pro-Palestine, anti-Israel Democrat at that time.

    You are over/underestimating the size of these groups because you’re in a bubble. The reason the Democrats generally don’t pander to leftists, is because there frankly aren’t that many of us (and even less that actually actively vote, even when there’s no leftist candidate). It’s that simple.

    You keep describing what would have won you’re vote, while assuming it’s exactly the same for tens of millions of others. It’s not.

    An intentional loss on the part of the Democrats

    This is so unbelievably fucking stupid. Just stop.
