If Kamala lost the election because she wasn't in support of Palestine then why didn't she just support Palestine?
Maybe make your one issue election about your country and not others? And I mean if you really cared about Palestine, you wouldn't have stood off to the side and let Trump through, cause now you'll get to watch the complete annihilation of Palestine, and even more of your tax dollars will go towards the genocide
With Kamala you had someone you could work with and who responds to bad press and would have buckled to your demands. Now you got Trump who gives zero fucks about what you don't like
I'm not American and you didn't answer my question.
If pro-palestinian one issue voters lost Kamala the election, why didn't she appease them? Why are the voters to blame and not the democrats?
It wasn't the one issue, it was just the one that stuck with people who needed an excuse to not show up and vote for a woman.
I think i can copy paste this comment somewhere on a 2016 thread about Hilary and it would make just as much sense.
How about you tell this to someone who isn't white, or better yet, someone who has family affected by the situation in gaza.
You're doing the exact same thing. You are refusing to acknowledge any criticism to the Harris campaign and blaming voters for the loss.
Misogyny absolutely played a role in this election and I do not want to downplay the racism and misogyny that Harris had to work against, but she ran a fucking awful campaign. She sucked up to fascists, ignored her base, and belittled the concerns pro-palestine protestors.
I'm speaking now.
Saying she ran an awful campaign is a judgement, one neither of us qualified to make legitimately (correct me if I'm wrong and you have some relevant professional experience)
The voters spoke and said they did not see enough of a difference between Harris and Trump to vote for Harris, and the ones that saw a difference voted for Trump.
Harris was out there making her platform and politics known, performing at debates.
