Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov.

    I don’t like shitty conspiracies but this really felt like they were working really hard to try to lose the election.

      No, I really thought trump was trying to lose. Saying people in ohio eat cats and dogs, and he has no plan, just concepts of a plan. I really thought he was throwing the election.

      I made one mistake. I forgot that this country is full of morons.

        I wanted to bet on a Trump win so bad on the premise that Americans are not to be trusted ever, but couldn’t quite stoop to it.

      How could the dems know that genocide is unpopular??! What’s next, are you going to tell me canceling all student debt would have been popular? Throwing Trump in prison? Rescheduling cannabis? Not campaigning on building the wall and closing the border?

      It’s amazing that she was in bed with Israel according to pro Palestinians and in bed with Hamas according to pro Israeli.

      We all have been played through social media algorithms, and it didn’t really matter what stance she had or would have.

      Disinformation was so amazingly orchestrated that people on both sides of any issue hated her.

    So fucking idiots were idiots, as usual. And they believe they’re somehow morally superior while handing Gaza over to Israel in the process. As if Trump and the Republican party was the better option, they care even less about Gaza than the Biden admin.

    This is why the Dems and progressive both keep losing everything, too many dumb fucks that think they’re making a difference while just making things worse with inaction.

      You know, while I am a fan of choosing the lesser evil, when the “lesser evil” is genocide, maybe it is time to re-consider the approach.

        Their response was to avoid it, resulting in the worst option by default.

        It was clear this would be the result. Choosing not to vote was the worst option to choose both objectively, and morally. And considering the entire supposed reasoning was moral, they failed spectacularly.

          Choosing not to vote was the worst option to choose both objectively, and morally.

          Strictly speaking, assuming Democrats care about winning elections, it is not true.

          Sure, you get the worst option for one or two terms, but you would hopefully force the Democratic party to reform and stop supporting Genocides in the long term.

          This is why I hate when people try to shift the blame on voters. This was 100% the Democrats election to loose, and they did.

          You can’t really change the voters, so what is the point of complaining about them? You can change the party to allow it to win the next time. Blaming the voters is just distracting from that.

      Maybe if Democrats stop taking entire demographics for granted without providing them with anything, they’d win more.
