    There’s already speculation that handlers at the DNC knew at the time and knowingly chose to risk losing rather than risk offending AIPAC

    Anyone who did not vote for Kamala on the basis of her position on the war in Gaza is an idiot.

    This “article” doesn’t really say anything. Of course Kamala lost support because of Gaza. It was an unwinnable issue. She would’ve lost support from either the moderates or the left no matter what her position was.

    There were literally idiots protesting about Gaza outside Kamala’s events. Everyone joking in this thread about shooting yourself in the foot. If you had have asked the Trump team, how can we of the left really shoot ourselves in the foot - they would have said go protest about Gaza outside Kamala’s events. Well done idiots.

    I bet Gazans are really glad that people didn’t vote for Kamala, I bet that as they dig the remains of friends and neighbours from the rubble they take solace in the fact that at least some Americans didn’t vote for Kamala and sent a message to the Democrat party. I mean Trump’s board of peace is sure as shit going to deliver them prosperity and joy, at least if you’re a wealthy white Israeli anyway.

      I didn’t vote for Harris. I fucking hate that woman. I’m a communist, not a liberal.

      If she had changed on Gaza I would have voted for her.

    Y’all this is crazy, but after assessing the data, it seems the hole in my foot was caused by a bullet!!
