Do you really think they lost over their stance on Israel/Palestina? Not saying it doesn’t matter. But I feel if you see how many votes republicans got, that a lot of (perceived) domestic issues played a very big role.
Comment on How do Americans win their country back?

THIS is the moment where everyone should be creating 3rd party candidates and going to the streets to spread awareness for the next election.
Not 6 months before the election with trump as a possibility. Get out there and promote 3rd party now, when people are pissed at Democrats for throwing it all away from Israel and people are pissed the trump won.

20 million people did not stay home over Palestine. People aware of that issue are also acutely aware of the fact Trump would be worse.
Apparently a lot of apathy among dem voters, or they also think a strongman for a while would be OK.

“Next election” is the issue here.
Those playbooks are for democracy. This is different territory now.

The polls say the economy was the reason, not foreign policy.

Ruling parties are being flipped all over the world because inflation has been bad since Covid. It’s a pity your only other option was Trump.

Yep. Rough economic times seem to cause the incumbent pres to lose. People seem to think the president controls the economy.

No, 3rd party will always be spoiler at best with the election system we have… Now is the time to figure out who runs the local Dems in your state/county/city/town and take them over… We need to take over the Dems and transition them to the party of the future

IMO third party is not viable unless we change our voting system and people keep voting out the progressive reform party so fat chance.
