    They never gave a shit about Palestine. It was just another example of “The Issue” for them to base their entire personality around to pose online.

      I’m married to a Palestinian and so I’m hyper-aware about lip service, and I think you’re right. My perception is that they are weak-minded people too naive or stupid to realize they’ve been conned into sitting out the election by a right-wing psyop. And they also have this mentality that a candidate has to be perfect in every way (by their standards) or they won’t sully their purity by voting for them. They’re the same sort of people who shop at Whole Foods because anything less than perfect should never pass their lips, and don’t notice or care that it’s just funnelling their money to Bezos.
