    I don’t think most Americans care enough about Gaza for it to affect their vote (or for it to cause them to choose not to vote). Some, certainly, but not enough to have made a difference. This was about groceries being expensive.

      It was a combined effort to suppress voter turnout. Provide every possible reason to tap into that bernie bro “the democrats deserve to lose because they betrayed me” mindset.

          The problem being that means too many people don’t show up, and only the fanatics get a say. And they have a lot more than us.

            That’s exactly my point. People should go and vote against fascism, but apparently they won’t.

            And Harris wasn’t inspiring enough to get them out to vote for her instead of just against him.

              Your point seemed to be “She sucks, maybe not as much as the other guy, but still sucks”, which is not exactly inspiring in and of itself. maybe you should do less to try and discredit the currently most viable defense we have against people like Trump.

              You have serious problems if you needs additional inspiration beyond literal fascism.

                Thank God some lemmys here have actual brains. These folks will scream up and down the street to anyone who will listen how horrible the Dem candidate is, and then wonder why voter turnout is low despite swearing they “totally went out and voted for Dems” even when they didn’t want to. Sure.

        That fake “Bernie bro” mindset, you mean. No genuine Bernie bro failed to vote (D) in the general, by definition, because that’s what Bernie himself recommended.
