    For sure, there aren’t enough proper tankies to make a difference, but the Gaza issue became so mainstream, there may well have been a critical mass of one-issue voters to throw the election. These people (most of them probably fairly young) may not have an opinion one way or the other on China, but they believe the same far left propaganda about “both sides” being equally bad.

      Buddy…

      If you removed the straw that broke the camels back, it would still buckle under the weight seconds later.

      One straw isn’t enough, if Biden/Harris had been perfect except for Gaza, they’d have won easily

      And if changed on just Gaza, there’d be a different “single issue” being blamed.

      Biden/Harris were uncharismatic and to the right of the average American voter, but obviously not far enough right to get trump voters.

      It was a piss poor strategy and that’s why the DNC pivoted so hard last year in their chair election.

      You’re so late to understanding this issue, you missed that we solved it a year ago.

      But you’re still so confident despite that ignorance

      Why not ask questions?

        Ironic that you chide me for being ignorant and having unwarranted confidence in my opinion, when twice you’ve claimed that the average American voter is to the left of mainstream Democratic pols. That is one of the dumbest theories I’ve heard in a while.

          She came out for fracking…

          For tougher border policy than trump/Biden were doing…

          She said Biden had done enough for student loans and shed maintain course even tho it wasn’t working…

          But most importantly she told anyone that would listen she’d do everything just as Biden did.

          Because neoliberals always act like Dem voters want what Republican voters want.

          Because they are to the right of the average American not just in policy, but in personality.

          You may be too close to that to be able to see it

            Just to be clear, in your view, voters were presented with a choice between a candidate who was somewhat to the right of them, and another candidate who was waaay to the right of them, and the majority voted for the latter. You’re right, this makes perfect sense. You’ve got it all figured out.
