No one cares about genocide. At least not in significant numbers.
IMO I think the common thread of democrats policies... is they keep thinking if they put one foot in both camps, that they will get both camps.
So, on Gaza... they took the stance of. "let the genocide continue, send the weapons, but also send sternly worded letters".
Result: The stand with isreal crowd hears "The democrats don't support isreal". The stop the genocide people, hear they are still supporting the genocide. Result, everyone hates their stance.
Hence why musks superpac sent 2 ads, one to jewish areas pretending to be the harris campaign saying "I stand with palestine", and an ad to the muslim populated areas saying "I stand with isreal".
Same on the border, instead of announcing how BS the "Migrant crime" claims are, or how bad for everyone mass deportation is, she just said "I tried to give you everything on the border, you stopped me".
Democrats did not put foots in both camps. Their foots were 100% in the israeli Genocide camp. 100% behind Netanyahu. The only reason for those letters was to pretend they did not violate Leahy law. By the end the clown circus called the state department meeting looked exactly like how a liberal describes CCP propaganda.
You're high as fuck, but you're insulated in your safe space.
Reality laughs at you and how Insanely inaccurate your perceptions are.
Watch a few videos on this channel and come back to me
My point is, they gave enough lip service, half gestures etc... to try and convince the "don't murder everyone in Gaza" some hope that they could be worked with. IE, they delayed one shipment, Harris didn't meet with Netanyahu that one time.
Again fully agreed they were ineffective half measures, but that was enough to let the Pro-Isreal lobby go in super deep "OH MY GOD LOOK HOW ANTI-SEMETIC THEY ARE!!! I NEVER".
The Dems don't support the genocidal settler-colony Israel because pro-Israel lobbyists hand them cash, but because Israel is an important projection of power as an Imperialist foothold in the region. This hasn't been about minor AIPAC donations but the massive wealth extraction that comes from securing the dollar as the world reserve currency and benefiting massively from brutal IMF loans.
