Yep. As soon as I heard her stance on Israel, I got a sinking feeling. There was such hope and enthusiasm at first, but she just had to pander to AIPAC.
I think the DNC and their consultants did that. I saw an interview with their consultants after the election, and they were all “We have no idea what went wrong”, etc. etc. They all think that Trump is some wild anomaly, not that their strategy sucks. Anybody could’ve told you that people were tired of the status quo, so a status quo candidate would have trouble winning.
What good is calling for a ceasefire if there’s no leverage? Netanyahu ignored Biden’s calls for a ceasefire because he knew that Biden would just back down if he ignored it. Harris was the same. You can call for ceasefires until you’re blue in the face, but if Netanyahu can just say “Naw”, and nothing happens, then what good is it?
It’s almost like it could have been easily predicted

She also muzzled Walz and started being super corporatist.

The nuanced stance that Israel, an ally, was attacked and had a right to defend itself but that they shouldn’t cause a humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
That she was committed to a two state solution?
That she consistently called for ceasefires all of last year?
Y’all got played if you think Harris was pandering to AIPAC.

If only people had been talking about exactly what happened for months leading up to the election, maybe it would have gone differently…
To be honest, my prediction was “parking lot”, so the whole “riviera” concept was a surprising development.
The ethnic cleansing was obvious, tho.
My prediction was glass but I guess they’re accomplishing their goals just fine without nukes
Not by explaining it, because that was tried on and againd to no avail.
