    I (hate and) understand that the reason is geopolitics and CENTCOM military power projection in the region, but it’s still bad politics to not commit to a pretense of trying.

    Especially as NATO allies and economic partners are breaking from the US position on Palestine - and now the Saudis are talking no normalization with Israel without Palestinian statehood.

    Last year the kingdom was in the process of negotiating a historic normalization agreement with Israel but recently said that was “off the table” without Palestinian statehood, a demand rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

      It’s becoming more obvious as the data is on who didn’t vote that the far left of the party gave up on the party. The campaign didn’t push any left ideals and 10 million of their critical voters said theyve had enough with having two right wing parties. Trump only gained about 500k voters that left the dems for him. I’m guessing those are the racist and misogynist that the DNC is trying to pin the blame on. Keep running right politics and this will be the results going forward.

          Not talking purity.

          Voting is inherently transactional.

          When 20 million registered voters sit out elections is a problem with the system.

            Well, either those voters prefer Trump or their actions are unaligned with their goals

          “Well done left wingers, your moral purity has pushed America right again.”

          I think it was gun waving, supporting a genocide for a far right foreign war criminal, far right immigratkon policy, and ignoring the working class that pushed the country right, but what do I know.

          Literally unrepresented my whole life and I can control the direction of the nation? Cope harder.

          Democrats wouldnt be relevant if the people weren’t held hostage by First-past-the-post voting. That’s what they fear most. Not a trump dictatorship.

            Your leftist plausibility card got revoked for trivialising the fascist takeover of the most powerful country in the world.

      Essentially, you’re saying that the genocide is settled and that american elections are exclusively performative (at the very least when it comes to international policy). You must then agree with me that the US is not a democracy, and that the US as we know it is a force for evil in the world?
