The problem for the Democrats is that the tent is very big. There are a lot of issues and a lot of people who care about very different things.

Gaza, unfortunately, was one of those. We had people who grit their teeth and voted Harris even though it was going to hurt them.

On the other side, Jewish zionists would have absolutely turned on Harris if she fully supported Palestine. Harris made a pragmatic choice to not alienate the zionists in the hopes that her opponent would be so toxic that Palestinians would see the lesser of two evils.

The really frustrating thing is Republicans don't have to run this kind of campaign. They can run a campaign on shit, fantasy, and rumor and their base will still show up and vote.
