I agree there's a horrific genocide taking place, aided by the USA, and all Americans should be ashamed of this. But to be fair, the headline indicates these voters will vote against Harris. Either that's a vote for Trump or a vote for a third party. Either way it increases trump's likelihood of being elected.
Ok? There's a simple solution here for the democrats.
Let's not engage in victim blaming here and recognize who has power to end this and who is exercising their right to express their profound and utter disappointment in a political system that is, at best, ambivalent to their suffering.
Democrats chose this hill to die on, not the voters.
You know what it’s called when voters aren’t allowed to vote for the candidate they desire?
No, it's the voters. You can't just forever blame your garbage decisions on other people.
Ah yes, my decision to continue funding paramilitaries in the West Bank.
That I definitely made.
