    Well let that be a lesson for the world leftists : you can’t ignore Gaza. Sudan, Yemen, atrocious wars and armies terrorism on population, they aren’t less or more important. But Gaza is colonialism at its worst : modern, sponsored, lying, covering-up, and so on. You can’t stand for humanism if you don’t support the Gazan people, or if you sell weapons, send cheers or do not step up against netanyahu’s government

    Whether it’s missing the courage, being blackmailed or bribed, or hand-tied because of past-accointances but Kamala never did the right thing for the Palestinian people, and beside the fate of Gazan, the price to pay for such inaction is the world’s rapid rise of a renewed, more strenghtful, and shameless fascism.

    We needed a report to tell us that? Well, maybe the DNC did. Everyone else kinda always thought supporting genocide was a shit idea and a bad way to win an election.

      It’s a hard pill to swallow that people who claim to care about war would choose more war over less war. It’s basically a report that says “6 million people couldn’t pass a third grade level competency test with months of prep time”.

    I mean, they could have checked out any online leftist space for about a year before the election. God knows I had to leave practically all of them because I was sick to death of all the “I’m not voting for Kamala over Gaza” comments. Note that I’m not American before you lecture me over who I should or shouldn’t have voted for.

    Maybe they thought it was all bluster and that leftists wouldn’t actually be that stupid, but apparently we are.

    • Hamid Bendaas, a spokesperson for the IMEU Policy Project, said that during the meeting “the DNC shared with us that their own data also found that policy was, in their words, a ‘net-negative’ in the 2024 election.” Two other senior aides at the pro-Palestinian organization also said the DNC had drawn that conclusion.
    • Axios independently verified that Democratic officials conducting the autopsy believed the issue harmed the party’s standing with some voters.

    The intrigue: The IMEU Policy Project is now accusing the DNC of withholding its report in part because of its findings on Israel.

    • DNC spokesperson Kendall Witmer denied that.
    • When DNC officials announced last year that they wouldn’t release the audit, they said it was because they didn’t want the report to distract from the work of winning elections.

    Remember this the next time someone tries to lecture you on why your primary candidate is simply unelectable.

    I’m glad that the alternate US president has been so great to Palestine. Gaza is saved. /s
