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".

    "Less war" like what we saw happening in Gaza between October '23 and January '25? You make this claim as if we can't examine the very recent past when her predecessor and former running mate was in charge and should instead rely on feelings and faith to convince ourselves that the thing we watched happen under a Democratic leadership for 15 months would never happen under a Democratic leadership.

    • 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.

    Dems were to chickenshit to investigate the voter machines that were rigged by musk, and other gop alighned entities, they are totally complicit in the current regime, if its not obvious. both gop and dnc, were unlikely to back out of israeli AID, too much money politics involved.

    They will still deny it for that sweet Zionist shekel.

    Why don't you stop and think for a second why the democrats would decide it's better to risk votes than to stop genocide? Clearly you had to leave practically all online leftist spaces because you're not actually a leftist. So stop cosplaying by saying "we" are all stupid. We're not stupid enough to think a party that refuses votes just so they can continue supporting genocide is willing to help at all.

    Its hilarious that they say this is a "secret" finding. Any child over the age of 5 could have told them this 15 months ago.

    The tactic the Dems have been using since I was able to vote has been "We're not AS bad as them so vote for us" and it worked for a short time. This just shows they're the same side of the same coin to me, just different in text.

  • 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.
