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.
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.
At most it cost her Michigan. There were deeper issues with the campaign.

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?

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?

Apparently, food did get cheaper.
Thanks BIDEN (you know, the current POTUS).
Yet, after the election.
But, yes, it happened under Biden's presidency, Biden should get the credit.
this article is from 2015
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'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.

Your new Ambassador to Isreal.
Middle to Low Income Americans: fucked
Palestinians: eradicated
Separation of Church and State: homogenized
1%ers: completely torqued
The NWO is here, the Rubes just forgot to mention it was them and the capitalists enacting it not the illuminati
All the ghouls crawling back out from under rocks
They weren't hiding, they just stopped screaming long enough to get a good breath of air for the next scream.
Based on the need for ancient history to claim a people, there's no Americans either. Does that mean we give everything back to the indigenous people? I hope so. Also even if they're Arabs as you say, that doesn't mean you can just murder them indiscriminately like this.
Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.
Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process.... and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.
No it's okay we have nukes.
I'm trying to be satirical but I can't really think of another argument
Yes, because Israel definitely doesn't have nukes. That would be in violation of international non-proliferation agreements, and they have the utmost respect for international law.
No one respects international law like Uncle Sam and his buddies!

This guy is about to become Ambassador to Israel btw
The vast majority of zionists in USA are christians like this creep.
This is from 2015, just, y'know.
Oh.
Got any updates from Mike Huckabee for us that show a change in stance?
Lmao
Article from 2015
Not that his opinions have likely changed, but please tell people if you're sharing older news articles.
No such thing as a Huckabee either.
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.
