    This is a reasonable response. But generally “energizing the base” is done closer to the election. We’ll see more preaching to the choir discourse around then.

      I’m kind of hoping the silence on Gaza turns loud once the election is close enough that AIPAC money won’t fuck the election.

        I honestly don’t give a shit how loud they are about it before the election, I just want to see them take action once Kamala is in office.

        Right now I just want to see them win the election, because everything else I want is off-the-table otherwise. If being quiet on controversial issues right now helps, then they should do that.

          Right, but turning vocal on it right before the election might get some more people to actually vote, and higher turnout means Dems win.
