it's wild they're not even making an attempt to coopt this energy the way they did in 2020
How can they? It’s easy as Dems to twist the blm riots to be anti-Trump and coast off of that. They can’t really do that here and have to walk on eggshells when paying lip service because of how sensitive Israel is to even the mildest criticism
Using Hamas as a wedge, getting some inclusion of hostages or 10/6, etc.
Like there's marginal stuff here, and they're not even trying the same way they easily flipped abolish into defund, knowing all along they weren't gonna do either anyway. Their only play so far has been to bang the antisemitism drum and I don't think that's enough without pairing it with something like the above.
