I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think "food didnt get cheaper" and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.
It's funny how they consider they had massive impact until there are consequences to their actions. Then, it wasn't much.
I don't think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.
At most it cost her Michigan. There were deeper issues with the campaign.

While ignoring that for most people, their purchasing power also went up.
They want to pay pre-pandemic prices for food while making post-pandemic paychecks, and there's no way that's going to happen without guillotines. So instead they voted in the wealthy assholes who directly caused COVID and indirectly caused inflation/greedflation because surely those people won't do that again, right?

this article is from 2015
Do you really think he changed his stance since then?
He's also the new US ambassador to Israel. That's from 2 hours ago.
I do not think he changed his stance, but I'm not sure how it's relevant to the election.
The number of pro Palestinian people was a statistical blip outside of Michigan and certainly did not change the election.
I really hope the Dems reflect on why AOC was re elected in a district that swung heavily towards Trump instead of doubling down on their clear and tangible resentment of working class people.
Mike Huckabee is detestable, but that doesn't make the current policies better. When it comes to genocide, splitting hairs misses the point.

I'm really sick and tired of head-in-the-sand liberals pushing us over the cliff to fascism and then having the utter fucking gall to try to gaslight us that it's our fault, not theirs.

When you decide that the better option is getting out of the car and jumping off of the cliff yourself, that's when it starts being your fault.
And I didn't (I voted for Harris, and also kept my mouth shut about her sprint to the right, like a good little Democrat, until after the election).
So you can take that accusation and fuck all the way off with it.

lol. Ok. love the downvotes. The Dems have learned nothing since 2016. Blaming the voters for not cosigning piss poor policy and unpopular decisions, while gaslighting thr working class about all time economic highs based on shit like stock prices and CPI when the latter number intentionally neglects to measure housing, food, or energy costs. You know, the things that make up the majority of expenditures for the class of people who overwhelmingly swung towards Trump.
Go ahead. Call me a deplorable. I'll be volunteering in the refugee camps like I have been since 2017. Will you? Or will you continue to attack marginalized people for pulling the only lever they have?
God knows the 2nd option hasn't worked and lost the Dems north of 60% of all Latino voters. But surely it's hundreds of millions of people that are wrong about feeling trapped by an economic system designed to turn their bodies into profit for billionaires.

Well they had 2 levers, really. If you ignore the primaries

The dems have lost so much Latino (and African American) votes because the GOP quite correctly identified that they could sway huge amounts of them with core religious and conservative messaging. 'No rainbows' and 'no abortion' seems to have turned more of them at very low cost compared to convincing them Trump has the right economic voodoo. Big chance those kind of voters are never coming back, regardless of their economic situation

I'm sure he's a kinder, gentler Huckabee nowadays.
Because Bidens policies that Kamala guaranteed to continue were going to save them?
Maybe a few more behind the scene tut-tuts and billions of arms to Israel would have helped.
Good job every Dem who supported Israel, good job for taking millions and millions in ~~lobbying~~ bribes. At least your pockets are fat.
Joe Biden is still president and over 200 children were slaughtered since the election. Tomorrow is the deadline he gave Israel for letting aid into the north of Gaza, but he will not enforce it because he also believes that there are no such thing as Palestinians and that they should die, leave or live as subjects to Jews so that Israel can annex all territory the Bible grants it.
I found this video to be very helpful for understanding what happened last week even though it predates the election by some years.

Your new Ambassador to Isreal.
Middle to Low Income Americans: fucked
Palestinians: eradicated
Separation of Church and State: homogenized
1%ers: completely torqued
The NWO is here, the Rubes just forgot to mention it was them and the capitalists enacting it not the illuminati
All the ghouls crawling back out from under rocks
They weren't hiding, they just stopped screaming long enough to get a good breath of air for the next scream.
Based on the need for ancient history to claim a people, there's no Americans either. Does that mean we give everything back to the indigenous people? I hope so. Also even if they're Arabs as you say, that doesn't mean you can just murder them indiscriminately like this.
Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.
Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process.... and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.
No it's okay we have nukes.
I'm trying to be satirical but I can't really think of another argument

This guy is about to become Ambassador to Israel btw
This is from 2015, just, y'know.
Oh.
Got any updates from Mike Huckabee for us that show a change in stance?
Lmao
The vast majority of zionists in USA are christians like this creep.
Article from 2015
Not that his opinions have likely changed, but please tell people if you're sharing older news articles.
Not that his opinions have likely changed
Exactly
Misinformation is still not ok.
It's not misinformation.
No such thing as a Huckabee either.
Oh shit, that’s the first person I ever voted against! As a 17 year old I registered as a republican specifically because I hated him.
