I’ve often assumed Harris didn’t want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

    The responses to Ocasio-Cortez from split-ticket voters included:

    • “It’s real simple… Trump and you care for the working class”
    • “Trump is going to get us the money and lets men have a voice. You’re brilliant and have amazing passion!”
    • “I feel like Trump and you are both real.”
    • “I know people that did this and it was bc of Gaza.”
    • “You are focused on the real issues people care about. Similar to Trump populism in some ways.”
    • “Because of Gaza”
    • “I voted Trump and dems because he reached out to Muslims”

      How in the fucking hell did Trump reach out to muslims?

      And now Gaza has a snowball chance in hell to continue to exist.

      Either these people are ultra dumb, or they gave bullshit answers.

        He met with Muslims group in Michigan. She refused to speak with undecided voters, allowed Israeli family on stage to speak about “October 7” and refused Palestinians family to speak about the war crimes in Gaza.

        Either these people are ultra dumb, or they gave bullshit answers.

        They purportedly voted for Trump and AOC, they’re practically braindead. Ultimately though, that’s the electorate we have.

        The final days and weeks the Trump campaign hit the swing districts saying all the things people had been asking Biden and Harris to say.

        Biden made sure there was no question there would be 0% chance of course change. Trump, being Trump, could shrug his shoulders one day and decide to change course. Higher than 0% but still probably 0%.

        Dishonest politics, but that’s how campaigns use issues to win elections. It sucks and we’re all in for the very preventable ride now.
