[alt text: a screenshot of a tweet by @delaney_nolan, which says, "Biden/Harris saw this polling and decided to keep unconditionally arming Israel". Below the tweet is a screenshot from an article, which states: "In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they'd be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they'd be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely."]

Buddy, I don't disagree with you, I actually vehemently agree with most everything here BUT you still gotta beat the spread. You got to play the game better than the refs. All the nuance in the world doesn't matter, you still gotta deliver and Harris didn't.

  • Media fault: 20%
  • Putin / Musk / etc interference fault: 25%
  • America dumb fault: 30%
  • Long history of shitty Democrats fault: 15%
  • Kamala Harris fault: 10%

Sure, you can say she shouldn't have done the 10%. Would it have been enough? After watching what Biden did and how people reacted to him, probably not.

But anyway, we'll never know. Also, I don't know why the 10% is the most important part, to you. The other parts are fixable, going forward.

Well, maybe not now.

(Edit: Math is hard)

Its not actually, I just said in the end, she had to produce and she didn't. I blame the media the most, but they're just the propaganda arm of the oligarchy.
