I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think “food didnt get cheaper” and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.

The jump in searches for “who is running for president” the day of the election tells you all you need to know about the average American voter.

My heart sank when I read about this. How?! Were these people in a coma for the last few months?

It’s funny how they consider they had massive impact until there are consequences to their actions. Then, it wasn’t much.

I don’t think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.

It’s funny how they were too insignificant to listen to but aren’t too insignificant to blame.

While ignoring that for most people, their purchasing power also went up.

They want to pay pre-pandemic prices for food while making post-pandemic paychecks, and there’s no way that’s going to happen without guillotines. So instead they voted in the wealthy assholes who directly caused COVID and indirectly caused inflation/greedflation because surely those people won’t do that again, right?

Do you really think he changed his stance since then?

He’s also the new US ambassador to Israel. That’s from 2 hours ago.

I do not think he changed his stance, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to the election.

The number of pro Palestinian people was a statistical blip outside of Michigan and certainly did not change the election.

I really hope the Dems reflect on why AOC was re elected in a district that swung heavily towards Trump instead of doubling down on their clear and tangible resentment of working class people.

Mike Huckabee is detestable, but that doesn’t make the current policies better. When it comes to genocide, splitting hairs misses the point.

I’m sure he’s a kinder, gentler Huckabee nowadays.

Joe Biden is still president and over 200 children were slaughtered since the election. Tomorrow is the deadline he gave Israel for letting aid into the north of Gaza, but he will not enforce it because he also believes that there are no such thing as Palestinians and that they should die, leave or live as subjects to Jews so that Israel can annex all territory the Bible grants it.

Explain to me how she, or people in her orbit/administration, have said things even remotely similar to what Huckabee just said.

Watch the efficiency in which they finish the genocide January 21st.

That will demonstrate how much you helped Palestine because you genuinely care. Pfft wow I could barely type that without laughing. You have blood on your hands.

If you’re going to name it after someone, maybe try the guy in Israel actually directing the damn thing?

I found this video to be very helpful for understanding what happened last week even though it predates the election by some years.

Time traveler here, someone wrote a song about you in 1966

I vote for the democtratic party

They want the u.n. to be strong

I go to all the pete seeger concerts

He sure gets me singing those songs

I’ll send all the money you ask for

But don’t ask me to come on along

So love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal

Because Bidens policies that Kamala guaranteed to continue were going to save them?

Maybe a few more behind the scene tut-tuts and billions of arms to Israel would have helped.

Good job every Dem who supported Israel, good job for taking millions and millions in lobbying bribes. At least your pockets are fat.

Oh shit, that’s the first person I ever voted against! As a 17 year old I registered as a republican specifically because I hated him.
