Republicans count on people like that to win.

Republicans have lost more than one Senate seat because they ran zealous nutbag losers in safe elections and pissed off moderates.

I'm not sure why Democrats get to run pro-war Zionists and Blue Lives fascists, free from the fear that they'll suffer the same fate.

Because even though they would prefer the fascists don't get into power, the wealthy Democrat politicians know they won't be too adversely affected by it.

Well that just begs the same question about the moderates and liberals who keep them in power. Do they think this is a winning strategy?

[–] HighElfMage@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Because unfortunately the pro-Israel, pro- cop Democratic candidates are much closer to the average voter than the nutbag religious extremists are.

The majority of Americans are against the continued support for the Genocide. Sanders speaks about that in the speech.

This is an uncomfortable truth that people don't want to face

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If that's true, why do more Republicans hold office at the national, state, and local levels?

[–] HighElfMage@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Gerrymandering, structural advantages, etc. the same as it's always been.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

This sounds like the strategy Republicans are banking on to win.

You will understand this when you understand why most people who have more than 20s of geopolitical memory associate people who unironically rant about evil Zionists with neo-nazis.

You realize this critique cuts both ways right? Fox news and CNN are completely aligned in their criticisms of the protestors.
