    Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.

      Dems would rather lose than appeal to what americans actually want.

      Also funny to imagine protest voters being powerful enough to sway the election but not powerful enough for Dems to listen to

        Lol. If we changed our foreign policies to win elections every 4 years we’d have exactly ZERO allies.

        Israel is America’s most important ally in the middle east. We ain’t giving that up for a single election.

        Edit: Ruffled some stupid feathers. Proud of your protest vote?

          Why is Israel America’s most important ally in the region?

          Is it because they’re a colonial outpost?

          A racist apartheid country is not who I want to be a close ally of my country.

          ally

          America doesn’t have allies, we have vassal states and economically enforced consrcripts lol.

          Why do you think all these 3rd world countries want BRICS to actually fly? They’re tired of being held hostage with USD.

          I mean they straight up declared themselves police of the world in the 90s after the USSR fell. And we all know the police definitely aren’t just some systemically corrupt protectors of the wealthy.

      There is no reality in which America jeopardizes its relationship with its most important ally in the middle east.

      Simply not an option.

      So now we get to watch Dipshit Donny give Netanyahu free reign to turn Palestine to dust.

      But if you’re implying that Dems should have lied like Republicans lie and told their constituents that they’d stop supporting Israel in order to get re-elected, then yeah, they absolutely should have done that to prevent what we’re about to experience.
