    You mean to say that –

    • switching candidates halfway through the election

    • having your replacement candidate be one of the few people somehow less popular than Biden

    • having said candidate go around openly endorsing genocide

    • telling leftists to ignore this, because genocide isn’t really a big deal

    – isn’t some kind of winning strategy to Unite the Left?

      The funniest part is that

      • switching candidates halfway through the election
      • having your replacement candidate be one of the few people somehow less popular than Biden

      Isn’t a wholly accurate representation, as she surged after initially replacing Biden because she briefly represented “hope and change” …then she immediately threw all that momentum away to try and win over racist right wingers as a black woman.

      Honestly, imo they lost the election before Gaza even entered the mainstream conversation. The Dems the past 4 years have exhibited nothing but betrayal after betrayal of their constituency. From record deportations of immigrants, to crushing labor strikes, to escalating the trade war with China, to deceiving the public about COVID relief, to bungled natural disaster responses, to lying about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, etc.

      Gaza was just the nail in the coffin.

        can’t forget just completely dropping the ball on the most popular campaign promises (enshrining reproductive rights, student debt relief)
