I'm definitely not defending her, but she's doing this to avoid getting primaried again. Amerika has a billion little ways to maintain control of things.

(Edit: I'm not saying that avoiding a primary is worth it to ignore mass murder)

    If the democrats truly cared about winning they would loudly and proudly champion things the majority of Americans support (ie, not wanting a fucking genocide).

    That’s not how it works in America. Campaign contributions win you elections. Without a stream of cash flow from campaign donors, you’re not winning anything. That’s how the system is designed to work.

    I mean, I don’t not agree with you. The democrats clearly care more about winning corporate donors than elections. And if they do win then they govern in a way to keep those corporate donors for the next election.

    That doesn’t change the reasoning that democrats could leverage public sentiment to win election after election. It’s just that that same public sentiment goes against the interest of capital.

    I could see it either way, I just don't know the demographics of her district. I know a neighboring district has various degrees of anti-hamas posters on every telephone pole, not that some organized poster spamming should be presumed a fair representation of the constituents.
