It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

My point is that Gaza should have no impact on your voting decision at all because not voting, voting Democrats and voting Republicans will get you the same outcome there, which would also be the outcome you got from literally any other US administration or potential administration (as in candidate that lost) in the entire history of Israel's existence.

Which leaves all the other potential considerations. Trust in the Democratic party can certainly be one of those but don't pretend not voting makes you morally better on the Gaza issue itself. That whole "inaction makes me better" mindset when action and inaction have literally the same outcome needs to die because it is literally not true.

    "I shall never support evil-doers" is a pretty strong drive in my world.

    I guess that's not the case in your own world, leading you to expect that it won't happen in large numbers that people will refuse to vote for either racist bully (which is how Arab-Americans probably saw the Democrat Leadership and Trump both) or calous sociopathic supporters of mass murder for the sake of political and economic convenince (which is how the University students risking their degrees to demonstrate against the Genocide all the while being called anti-semitic by Biden probably saw both).

    I would say that the 14 million votes' worth of evidence towards it tend indicate that I'm at least partially right.
