Fuck off you disgusting piece of shit. Imagine being such a dumb fucking cunt you attempt to scold random voters for the Democrats decision to support genocide and claim it's their fault somehow.

Hey, dipshit, who kept signing off on arms shipments the past fucking year? Hey dipshit, who declared a redline in Rafah only for nothing to happen? Who gave a deadline of 30 days for aid to increase, nothing improved, then they just meekly announced they weren't doing shit as punishment?

The people who told Democrats for months to change position were Democrats and people who worked in the democratic party, some of whom did so for decades.

June Rose, the sole “uncommitted” delegate from Rhode Island, also said it was incorrect to assume the delegation members come from the fringes of the Democratic Party.

“We are Democratic professionals. I’m the chief of staff of the Providence City Council. I’ve made my career helping to elect Democrats and defeat Republicans who pose incredible risk to the future of our country,” the 29-year-old told Al Jazeera.

“But my relationship with the party will never supersede my relationship with my values, and in this case, my values and my party are in direct conflict.”

Rose named Eileen Abu Odeh, a toddler killed with her family in an Israeli air raid in Gaza, during the roll call. They explained the delegation’s presence at the Democratic National Convention can serve as a gut check for the party, as it prepares to chart a course forward on foreign policy.

“Our party cannot just make this week a celebration, and I think that that’s the tone that many in our party want to take,” Rose said. “But that celebration would be on the graves of innocent children who’ve been slaughtered.”

And tankies get the name specifically from either defending or denying that specifically the Soviet Union used violence to suppress attempts to leave their union.

I fucking knew it, Lincoln was a soviet plant all along, fucking tankies.

Not sure what happened there.

Log the fuck off.

What you're saying is relevant if you're talking about why Texas perhaps should already be blue if it wasn't gerrymandered.

But democrats saying they're gonna turn Texas blue wasn't based on that. It was based on the already gerrymandered Texas, not on the hypothetical non-gerrymandered Texas. And the article highlights specific campaign failures and the inadequacy of the changing demographics argument that contribute to consistently falling short of turning Texas blue even with accounting for gerrymandering.

And? This explanation is not mutually exclusive of campaign failures. Everywhere in the US is gerrymandered. Campaigns are not unaware of this when they campaign.

Maybe Democrats shouldn't have sent Bill Clinton to talk about how Hamas forced Israel to kill civilians and that's why you need to not care about Dems facilitating genocide, or maybe Richie Torres could have not spent the last weeks of the campaign feuding with Hasan Piker on Twitter over Israel as he was also in Michigan to speak to Arab and Muslim voters.

I guess we already saw if they made the right choice.
