    I’m showing you that young people don’t vote in general, there’s nothing special about the USA, it’s not about the party not catering to them, they just don’t vote.

    Reading comprehension isn’t your forte, I get that, but open your eyes and start looking at what’s going on outside your country, it might help you understand what’s going on in yours.

    You want Kamala to come out and say she’ll stop selling bombs to Israel? Fine, she’ll get a defeat and the Republicans will sell even more bombs to Israel. Instead she can say the USA will support Israel while also saying that Palestinians don’t deserve their current faith, get elected and then do something about Israel.

    Again, in the end you have two options in the USA and one would gladly see Gaza be wiped out completely so what gains are there to make for the Democrats to adopt a more radical stance against Israel when they know they’re currently the most reasonable option of the two?

    Political strategy doesn’t care about your feelings, it’s about getting elected.

      I think you overestimate single-issue pro-genocide voters.

      I have two options what would gladly see Gaza wiped out completely. I’m upset about that. I know why you aren’t.

        You interpret my analysis of their political strategy as me supporting the genocide happening right now, that’s very insulting.

        You truly need to take a step back, you’re clearly too emotional to have this conversation.

          Imagine being emotional about genocide.

          You want me to believe that you dispassionately weighed the evidence and monstrous cold logic dictated that continuing to sell weapons so that genocide can flourish was the correct decision. I don’t buy it. I think you started from a conclusion you liked and worked your way backwards.

            You want to have a conversation about if it’s right or wrong to send bombs to Israel when this conversation is about the political strategy behind the decision to continue to mention support for Israel during the campaign, they’re two separate discussions and you’re clearly unable to distinguish between the two.

                The conversation was about her stance and the impact on her chance to get elected from the get go, not on if what’s happening in Palestine is right or wrong (it is wrong, it’s not the subject of the conversation even if you try to make it be about that).

                    If you don’t want to have the conversation this was about in the first place why did you bother replying at all? You’re the interloper here, not me.
