    Democratic voters (young left leaning) do care, have you not seen the protests? We made it loud and clear we won’t vote for KH if she insists on supporting the genocide and she responded by thanking Dick Satan Chaney for his service and calling for the most lethal military.

    If you buy that she didn’t lose because of Gaza, you’re gonna have a lot more losing to witness.

      Sure I was at them, just like I’ve been at a lot of protests for other topics too. But I don’t perceive that any of them were large enough to specifically be the key factor in swinging an election that was frankly not that close. A lot of political radicals aren’t very persuadable anyway.

      Anyway your last comment is puzzling. I have no more sway on democratic policies than you do. Your last comment is weird. I think dems should reject genocide too. I just think they should do it because it’s the right thing to do, not because it would magically make fascism disappear through some mysterious and unknown mechanism.

      Even if the numver of actual protesters aren’t enough to swing the vote, telling them to fuck off has an outsized impact because those are the activated ones who get the rest of their cohort to vote.
