    The thing you don’t understand is whatever they are doing in Palestine they are willing to do to you. What do you think all of the death and destruction Israel has brought there is going to create? Peace and happiness? Kumbaya guitar circles? I wait to see what karma brings.

    Maybe those were the only things on the ballot for you. You know what wasn’t on the ballot for you? The winning issues. Do you know why?

    Because to the democrats it was more important to keep arming Israel than forgiving student loans, a $15 minimum wage, universal healthcare, the dramatic rise in the cost of living/drop in quality of life, cleaning up the East Palestine train fiasco, etc.

    The hardest I have ever seen democrats fight for something was when Trump was in office. They fought him on everything. I thought that energy would carry over if they won in 2020. It didn’t. They let the parliamentarian shut down the party with a penstroke.

    It’s too late. The DNC is dead. They appealed to corporate and centrist issues. They get called the left, but really they are the center right.

    If the democrats really wanted to win and make positive change, they would have chosen Bernie in 2016 and 2020, but they did everything in their power to make sure he lost, prefering to lose to Trump rather than improve the lives of not-rich Americans.
