They lost in 2024 because they couldn't address the economy and kept sending billions to Israel as it was committing a very public genocide lol, not because they stood up for people.
Yeah that's probably why the GOP ran non stop ads about transvestites playing in school sports.
And when pushed on it, the Democrats backed off instead of defending them. This should have won them the election by your logic, but it didn't. Could it be your logic is flawed?
The largest plurality (29%) of people who voted for Biden in 2020 but stayed home in 2024 said that Gaza was their biggest reason for not voting. The Democrats aren't considering pulling their support for Israel, but they have been fighting internally over being less supportive trans people. The idea that they lost because they just wouldn't stop fighting for marginalized people is just not connected to reality, and it's very possible they'll be standing up for even less people by 2026.
Could you spare a link to that 29%? I'm curious
This article covers it, but it unfortunately doesn't link to the actual poll. I first learned it from a news podcast, so I can't point you to the original source.
That was enough to find a link to the poll. Thanks!
