“From 2020 to 2024, Democrats saw a staggering dropoff in support at the presidential level, with some 19 million people who voted for Joe Biden staying home (or not mailing in their ballots) in 2024. Now, a new survey conducted by YouGov suggests Biden’s support for Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza played a surprisingly large role in the choice of those previous Biden supporters not to vote.”

    Yet she lost. We lost. It’s not insignificant. If there was a non-zero number of people who were unaware that Biden was out, our side failed.

    He should have kept his promise to be a one term president. Hubris and bad advice from the inside failed us. Stop making excuses for a failed attempt.

    Let’s properly fix this. We’re destined to lose again if we do not.
