If it's going to ever have an effect it's now. The libs are doing good suddenly but they'll want to keep the vibes going. Probably time to see if we can make the mask come off or they'll make a concession.

They look stronger than ever but it's the Dems, these swapups are coming from their fear.

Same. In the opposite direction, I was disgusted by Kamala’s reaction to the protesters. How Americans can be so flippant about a genocide we are providing support to is disturbing. But, I guess indifference is the standard reaction here.

Question though, what did you mean by your second sentence? Not sure if I’m understanding it correct

by "turnaround" he meant the dems regaining the lead over trump after ditching biden. They'll want to keep that momentum going and avoid bad press, so they might be more willing than usual to meet some demands of pro-Palestine protesters

Ahhh! See, I was reading it as the free Palestine movement would undo any good that came from the Biden switch. Just wanted to make sure I was understanding correct. Thanks!

The Dems "turnaround"? Idk where we're disagreeing

Maybe I should've put it in quotes initially lol, we're all seeing the same thing

I figured my original post would be contextual enough that I'm firmly on the fuck the Dems side of this

No disagreement! But if I’m reading right, you’re suggesting that the free Palestine movement will undo the positivity that’s currently came from the Biden switch? If I got that right, I can see where you’re coming from. But I guess I do kinda disagree, in that I think we can press the party to do anything we want so long as Trump is the enemy. But I also don’t really know shit, so there’s that too lmao
