Even inside the Harris campaign, there was dissent about whether she needed to take a more aggressive stance for Gaza.
A Harris organizer who worked on youth turnout said that senior campaign officials gave them an order: When they sent out mass volunteer or fundraising emails and people replied by asking about Gaza, they were told to mark it as “no response.” The result? They seldom ended up engaging with voters on that issue.
“We also didn’t create a new category for Gaza responses out of fear that category would be leaked. Instead we were told to mark them as ‘no response,’” the organizer said, faulting top Harris campaign leaders for failing to address the issue. “The only ‘clowns’ out there are those who were in senior leadership and decided to abdicate on this issue, who silenced a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and who told us to ignore it every time a voter asked us about Gaza.”
The corporate media is trying to divide the left. Don’t let them. Fuck this relitigation of the election. There’s blame on both sides, but it’s water under the bridge at this point. Fuck fascists and their tactics of division.
If we don’t understand why we failed and change the party accordingly, how will we ever win next time?
There’s not going to be a next time. You can’t vote out fascism.
Then why does it matter if the left is divided? Not like the milquetoast liberals are going to be any help against fascists. They’ll start goosestepping with the rest of them once the writing’s on the wall.
It doesn’t, really.
The party is also controlled by corporate interests because money is the most important thing in politics now. To change the party you will need many, many millions of dollars. Don’t have that? Gee sucks to not be a billionaire. 🤷
Liberals are not the left. Either the Democrats get their stuff together and listen to the demands of the left, or they will lose once again in 2028.
I don’t think it’s been corporate media posting a bunch of stupid and antagonizing bullshit to c/politicalmemes
Also, the last three elections in a row at least have all had moderate Dems who refuse to listen to their voters and do whatever their donors want and then go on to lose or barely win against this fascist prick, and I really really really don’t want to go through another one of those elections. We need to have a thorough examination of how the Democratic party has been fucking us here and concrete verifiable steps they will take to stop this, otherwise the left is going to remain divided whether or not corporate media is reporting on it.
Unfortunately, divided has always been the default state for the left.
Harris left a vacuum by not visiting Michigan families impacted by US-supplied bombs to help create a permission structure for their trust while Trump visited Dearborn and filled a community in despair with lies
“One of these things is not like the other.”
So the Harris campaign not only ignored, but actively lied about the voter feedback they received on Gaza…
Uncommitted leaders wanted the United States to be destroyed. They don’t care at all about Gaza and never have. If you were dumb enough to fall for their shit, you deserve what happens to you.
Every rational person wants the USA destroyed. It’s a garbage genocidal empire that’s literally destroying the planet.
If you’re dumb enough to believe the nationalist BS, then you’re probably posting ignorant comments on lemmy.
Every rational person should want all authoritarian governments destroyed without destroying the people within the country they control. Thinking otherwise just means you’re willing to sacrifice lives on a bet that worse means better eventually—which has never been the case.
What is your opinion of the content in the post summary?
I think the DNC is out of touch with their voters.
Given your username and instance, I’ll assume you were dumb enough to not vote, which double fucked everyone—including the Palestinians!! But hey, you’re tearing down the United States and that’s the most important thing. Just don’t be surprised if that orange fool pulls the rest of the world down with him.
Out of touch or purposely ignoring and misleading?
I don’t see any other country in the world doing anything to stop Israel. What are campaign workers really supposed to say? Ignoring and misleading was clearly a poor response. But, so was voting for Trump via not voting at all.
But hey, speeding up the decline is the whole point, right? Who cares how many people die! 🤡
I don’t see any other country in the world doing anything to stop Israel.
We didn’t need to continue selling them weapons.
Agreed. But the US isn’t the only country selling them weapons. Israel has been doing this shit for decades, and no one seemed to care until an election year. Where are the “genocide Trump” comments? Nowhere to be found.
But the US isn’t the only country selling them weapons.
That doesn’t make it conscionable.
