Being less bad for the Palestinians would be a reason.
Voting against a habitual liar and criminal would be a reason.
Less bad how? They were in charge, overseeing a genocide and arming the belligerent to carry on the assault.
This is that "orange man bad" strategy that clearly didn't work. Nor should it.
Nobody in democrat party ever lied or commit crimes? You've never heard of all the innocents bombed by Barack? Hillary's husband and his secretary?...nothing other than orange man bad?
Yes, let perfect be the enemy of good.
Changing the Democrats happens during the primaries.
Voting for the genocide harder party in the mean time is definitely a winning strategy for sure.
They were already genociding pretty hard as it was.
You are accepting Dems as "good". Their actions convinced people otherwise.
Nobody asked for perfection from them. They literally told people to stfu about genocide and vote for them. People didn't. Blame the party.
So given the choice you were like sure they are bad but you know what? In order to punish this party for their lack of purity I'm going to make it way worse for the Palestinians who already have it hard.
That doesn't even take into account the other things like making it worse for women and minorities in the US too.
You out here making false equivalences when the two parties you have to choose from are not even close.
They had the option to stop the genocide. They made their choice. It's their fault, not the voters' who were told to STFU about the genocide.
The party is responsible. They were the ones with power. They were in charge, not the voters.
Saying dumb shit like "if you don't vote for me you ain't black" wasn't going to win them support. Telling their supporters to stfu and vote blue no matter who got the treatment it deserves.
People have the option to not vote if they hate their options. They sent a message. The party has to decide if they're willing to listen or continue to act like overlords cuz "orange man bad" wasn't a winning strategy for them. You think they learn anything?...
