      Those aren’t “protest voters”, are they?

      Again, Harris got 6 *million" fewer votes than Biden and lost by 2 million votes. If you really believe that’s because of Palestine, then you should be asking Harris why she didn’t support Palestine.

      But no reasonable person could think that Harris lost because of Palestine. So why is this such a big focus for liberals, instead of something that matters?

      If winning in 2026 and 2028 doesn’t involve punching left, are you even interested?

        Let me amend to say, I guess it depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to feel better about yourself & your political participation, then carry on. But if you want to get a Democrat elected, you need to stop acting like this.

      Isn’t that just non-voters? Not voting is viewed by literally everyone as “don’t care”, not a protest.

          Foreign policy simply doesn’t decide elections in the US. I’m sure there were some protests non-voters, but the idea that it was a significant majority of the 6 million is far fetched.

            Doesn’t matter. Even if they weren’t the deciding factor, they still contributed and were still idiots that deserve to be shamed.
