How about you bop on over to free republic and dump the blame where it actually belongs
I remember people blaming Harris for all things Israel and refusing to vote for her.

Interesting.

(38,367 posts)There's at least one a week, and it got really old a long time ago.
LetMyPeopleVote
(175,979 posts)While few if any DUers may be guilty of this, there were a good number of Democrats and other groups who did such as the Uncommitted people types who refused to vote for Harris because of Gaza. These voters need to be called out for their votes.
Donald Trump has a message for voters who disapprove of President Joe Bidens Israel/Gaza policy from the left: The Republican intends to be vastly worse.

The Biden White House, for example, acknowledged this week that it is, as the Associated Press reported, weighing measures to help Palestinians living in the United States who want to bring family from the war-torn region.
Soon after, as Reuters reported, the presumptive GOP nominee shared his thoughts on the subject at a campaign rally.
Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from Gaza and various other places, Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. Under no circumstances shall we bring thousands of refugees. Last week, Trump described the pro-Palestinian protests as driven by tremendous hate while asserting that the violence at a 2017 white nationalist rally with some Trump supporters in Charlottesville, Virginia, when he was president was small by comparison.
Note, at one of his campaign events yesterday, Trump appeared to goad his followers in Wisconsin into booing Palestinian refugees.

At the same event, the former president also vowed to restore and expand the Muslim ban he imposed during his first term......
The former president also endorsed ongoing Israeli military operations, saying, We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. Its a horrible thing, but they have to do it. Trump added that Israel must clean out the cancer.
Lets also not forget a New York Times report from March that said top members of Trumps team want to expel Palestinians from Gaza.
Its as if the Republican is going out of his way to alienate voters who, given their frustrations with Bidens policy, might be inclined to give Trump a second look.
TFG will bring back the Muslim ban, give Bibi free reign to bomb and destroy Gaza and expel Palestinians from Gaza so that Jared can build his resorts.

Nixie
(17,960 posts)There was even at least one congressperson leading that charge against Harris and discouraging people from voting for her.
LetMyPeopleVote
(175,979 posts)Again, there was several democrats including at least one member of the Justice Democrats types who pushed the Uncommitted concept and who refused to endorse Harris
Nixie
(17,960 posts)destructive, counter productive scheme. Instead they think other elected officials have to yell louder after they took their majority away. It will never make sense.
yellow dahlia
(5,014 posts)She was a problem from the get-go. Not a legitimate voice in my mind.
Not a fan of Cory Bush either - she was short-sighted.
But, that being said - Harris did not lose.
Nixie
(17,960 posts)looks like it cost her. Short-sighted is a kind description.
I am so glad to see that there is more attention to the bizarre results in certain areas that can only be the result of errors, so it does look like a very plausible conclusion that the intentional manipulations caused this Harris outcome. I tend to agree that there was sabotage of epic proportions -- Trump admitted it himself in his thank you to Elon Musk....? Seems that way.

You seem to want to censor frustrations that people express on this board all the time if it doesn't fit in your view of the world.
No where is it mentioned in the OP or in this dialog blaming ANYONE on DU. That is all on you.

(39,212 posts)And in light of recent developments, like say Democratic reps voting FOR funding of ICE, it's confusing.
Would a Harris victory have prevented that vote?
AloeVera
(4,033 posts)Now you're saying you meant Magas too? Since when did we ever think Magas would ever vote for her but REFUSED to do so?
No, your implication in the o/p was clear.
If not DU members, then certainly other Democrats.
Perhaps you meant the 6 or 7 million who voted for Biden but who stayed home for Harris? Do you really think they have "blood on their hands" too? Personally, I think "blood" is the main reason they stayed home! The blood of innocents... But I know others blame misogyny or racism - odd to think other Democrats would be guilty of these things, but to each his own way of not having to reflect on their own failings and responsibility, I guess.
Or is it just a certain segment of Democrats you are blaming, the demographics where Trump increased his support? Blacks, women, hispanics, youth - geez, that's a large segment of the Democratic base!
Or is it a smaller minority and their supporters - too small to have made a difference - that you think has blood on their hands?
The questions are rhetorical of course.

(4,033 posts)That's the hard truth and no amount of blame-shifting is going to sweep it under the rug - though many still keep trying.
When 80% of your base strongly opposes a particular foreign policy you insist on pursuing, you are sure to lose a certain percentage of that base.
There is no complexity or mystery here. Except for the "mystery" of why the base was ignored.
Stop blaming the Democratic base, as the o/p is doing. They were obviously neither in charge nor listened to.

(10,176 posts)Furthermore, if we can complain about Democrats on a website specifically devoted to supporting Democrats, surely we can complain about those fucking morons that didn't support and vote for the Democrat that wouldn't have any of this terribleness happening if she we're elected.
AloeVera
(4,033 posts)But I guess blaming blacks, hispanics, women and youth - all demographics where Trump gained - is a bridge too far??
But Muslims and Palestinian supporters are - what? Fair game?
Now why single them out, as I've seen on this thread and countless others? Surely that's not right, is it? I mean, for one, haven't they suffered enough in the last few years? How are they different from all the other minorities and demographics?
What's the motivation here? Hmmm...
People here are pretty smart. They can figure it out.

(2,152 posts)Billionaires, media, influencers, bros, and tankies played a part in our losses. Racism and misogyny also played a part. Our candidates were far more qualified and dedicated than the flim flam man but Americans are ill informed and easily influenced. The crazy excuses from the electorate was depressing and we will all suffer because of their ignorance.
