      It absolutely is true that she backed Netanyahu, & that cost her significant support.

      I don’t know why, but she did.

      Losing the country, however, because of that … doesn’t help the Palestinians.

      NEITHER candidate was good for them!!

      Trump’s Gaza converted into a resort … isn’t good for them, either!

      Maybe, possibly, she could have been got to see the light, on that issue: I don’t know.

      The genocide in the US is going to make Gaza’s genocide look … like a civilized sunday picnic.

      Trump’s nearly there, all he needs now is the Insurrection Act, & then he can activate his de-naturalization law, to remove citizenship from all the Democrats, & then they all get ICE’d.

      Netanyahu’s war against the lives of Palestinians is going to be tiddlywinks, compared with Trump’s war against the hated “woke”, within the US.

      Not tens-of-thousands, but millions, will die, in that, soon-enough.

        AIPAC funding.

        That’s the answer. It’s not complicated.

        The Democratic leadership always does whatever the mega donors want, regardless of what that will end up doing at the polls, or to the country.

          More likely that Israel is the USA’s longest and most reliable foothold into the Middle East which is an important ground to repel eastern expansionism from Russia and China in an infinite proxy war. Nobody with half a brain would chose to lose voters for a paltry sum of campaign funds which may or may not attract comparably few voters, the math just doesn’t pan out.

            paltry sum of campaign funds

            You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

            AIPAC was one of the largest outside donors in the 2024 elections, spending $100 million in 389 congressional races (26 in the Senate, 363 in the House). 318 Zionist candidates who received money from AIPAC were elected that year.

              The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

              The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

              How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That’s hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

              It can be multiple things but let’s not compare filthy Republicans like Bush and Rex Tillerson the Tex Driller-man to the DNC, that would just be disingenuous to its core.

              Also, you say “the scary Russians” like they haven’t been actively invading and claiming more land for 10 years, now.

        If you can’t stand with others when they’re facing genocide, why would you expect anyone to stand with you when you face your own genocide? I have absolutely zero sympathy for people like you. I’m going to stop there so my comment doesn’t get removed.
