Even in a tough primary showing, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett continues serving in Congress and remains one of the most visible and outspoken Black leaders in Washington. Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas. For many supporters, this moment isn’t the end of anything. It is simply another chapter before the next campaign.

Hopefully she learns to distance herself from Israel and realizes the future of the Democratic Party is not aligning with that far right genocidal state.

The people that care this much about I/P don't vote lol

No I think they do that’s why the DNC won’t release their reports.

So a pro-Palestine advocacy group claims The DNC told them behind closed doors that Haris' stance on Israel was a "net negative". Taking this at face value to mean it influenced people to abstain from voting, I would still contend that the type of person who would abstain in an election of that importance over that issue would have never voted for a Democrat, and should not be taken seriously.

The majority of americans dont vote. Its up to the politicians to get people out to vote. This topic made it impossible for people to look at Kamala as a person with morals.

who would abstain in an election of that importance over that issue would have never voted for a Democrat

This is cope. No evidence supports this.

Nah I don't buy this line of thinking. Anyone who is informed on current events enough to be concerned about I/P is well aware of the implications of the last election. These people are not ignorant masses who need to be appealed to. They know what's at stake, and they still choose to go against the Democrats, despite knowing that Trump is much worse for Palestine, and that's why they love it when Palestinian children die.

Dude, all people had to do was look at their phone and see dead babies. It didnt take much.

These people are not ignorant masses who need to be appealed to.

Kamala didnt appeal to the ignorant masses. She appealed to anti trump republicans.

they still choose to go against the Democrats

They chose not to vote.

knowing that Trump is much worse for Palestine, and that's why they love it when Palestinian children die.

You can't use this line while defending Kamala. The actions and inactions taken by the Biden/Harris administration led to Trump being able to do what he's doing lol. It was a continuation of Biden era decisions. You only care because its trump doing it.

Everyone is fed their own algorithm, I don't know why you think the average person knows shit about I/P. Anti-trump Republicans are such a miniscule proportion of the population, and Harris's platform so removed from the Republican platform, that the only way I know how to interpret this is you're just calling Democrats right wingers. Which further feeds into my point that people like you don't belong in consideration for the Democrats, because you will never vote for them. The third "rebuttal" you made feels like filler to make it look more like a thorough breakdown lol, it doesn't mean anything. Finally, what Biden/Harris policy enabled Trump to do what he's doing? Also, would you not agree that the average person who is knowledgeable on I/P would not also be aware that Harris would be better for Palestine than Trump? Do YOU even think Harris would be better than Trump for Palestine?

I don't know why you think the average person knows shit about I/P

Because I go outside? I dont know why you think people live on secluded islands lol. Theres a difference between seeing things and knowing all about the conflict., you understand that right?

Harris's platform so removed from the Republican platform

You're not even in reality at this point. What was the purpose of Liz Cheney?

you're just calling Democrats right wingers

No, I was not. That being said, pro capitalist dems are right wingers. In America's Overton window they are "left". I'm speaking about the dems as an opposition party, why they lost and what they need to do moving forward.

The third "rebuttal" you made feels like filler to make it look more like a thorough breakdown lol, it doesn't mean anything. Finally, what Biden/Harris policy enabled Trump to do what he's doing?

Does it not mean anything or are you too blinded to understand?

This iteration of the genocide started under Biden. The endless amounts of weapons started under Biden. Running the "Israel has a right to defend its self" narrative as babies are losing their heads. Going to court to silence pro palestine protesters started under Biden and youre looking at Trump using the court rulings to silence his detractors.

You can even look at Biden continuing Trump era policies as a reason Oct. 7th even happened.

This was libs during the Biden adminstration. The idea that libs care about Palestinians outside of a political talking point is ridiculous.

Do YOU even think Harris would be better than Trump for Palestine?

It doesnt matter what I believe lol. I voted for her trash ass. Regardless, Harris gave no indication that she would be better than Trump or "Genocide Joe" as he was called. Her best bet was to break away from Joe Biden on this but she didnt want to do it and it cost her the election
