Democratic strategists are still patting themselves on the back for a catastrophic defeat.

    I disagree. Kamala could have cried ‘from the river to the sea’ or even ‘free Palestine now!’ I really don’t think it would have made those reluctant democrats get off their couches. The apathy goes beyond foreign affairs and you’re overestimating the general populace. Online discussions of geopolitics don’t mirror the real conversations Americans are having. So whire IP is big here, I hardly believe my Mom who is a dem is thinking about it much. Its really the grocery bill.

      It would have convinced a sizeable [Arab] American citizens to vote, rather than stay home to avoid voting for Genocider A or Genocider B.

        If they weren’t going to vote for the party focused on brokering a peace deal and instead chose to enable the one that wants to effectively glass all of Palestine, then it wasn’t ever going to be an issue regardless of what K said.

          Neither party is interested in brokering a y deal that doesn’t include Israel genociding Palestinians.

          Biden could have ended it by ceasing arms transfers, which he is legally required to do, since it was found the arms were to be used to aid a genocide. That’s US law.
