And to peel off those chimeric “moderate Republicans” (the last if which became Democrats a decade ago) they chose to “shove off” the left in general and a few vulnerable constituencies in particular - who they now blame for their poor judgement.

Was it historic though? Or was it Biden admin propaganda to help his reelection chances? 2023-24 were pretty sluggish GDP wise post reopening, and quite a few retailers have closed both due to Biden and transition into Trump. The economic data shows it was pretty anemic despite job gains

“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” ~Mark Twain Anyone who equates Wall Street with the Main Street economy the vast majority of us have to navigate is either extremely unserious or a propagandist. Biden has always been a financial-sector lackey.

Or blame the campaign that was told by pollsters and campaign workers on the ground that support of genocide would cost them the election, and chose to prioritize the folks that bought them over the voters who opposed mass murder.

There's enough blame to go around and it all adds up. On this specific issue, there's those that sat, voted third party and even voted for Trump (remember the Arab and Muslim leaders endorsement during the campaign?).

Because it was the worst decision especially for Palestinian ppl living in Gaza. Trump was an absolute worst for their cause and voters here still sat out cuz feelings got hurt. Only those who live in air conditioned West with Wi-Fi and takeout can think Palestinian lives didn't worsen under Trump.
