In reply to the discussion: Where are the Genocide Joe protest voters? [View all]AloeVera
(4,144 posts)83. Thanks for an incredible post.
Agree 100%. You said pretty much everything I've been thinking.
I thought I had dreamed up that clip with Tim Waltz saying Israel MUST expand. I could not believe it was real. But sadly, it was.
I wish people would really THINK about what this meant. And the rest of your comments.
As I said before, Gaza was always going to end up like this. The dye was cast on October 8th with the first carpet-bombing, and only the willingly blind or complicit would not see it. It appears 7 million voters did see it and the outcome of that should have been realized and course changed before it was too late. That it was not and Trump won as a result is NOT on the voters, protesters or the Palestinian advocates or progressives here or anywhere else.

Biden isn't the president anymore. But in my neck of the woods, a lot of the same people are protesting military actions

That Democrats are corrupt, rig primaries, bribed and controlled by AIPAC is a constant conspiracy theory.

Two choices. But, these folks somehow dreamed up a third "vote uncommitted" choice just to screw things up.

There are no "Genocide Joe protest voters" here. So no one will be "taking a bow". Glad to clear that up.

The obvious solution would have been to listen to the base - opposed to the Gaza policy by 80%

Plenty of excuse-making, though. The lack of outrage is directly proportional the the casualties.
