    Harris purposely ignored and pushed away parts of her base that cared about Palestine.

    because it’s primarily people under the age of 25. And a very small voter demographic, maybe arabic people also, but arabic people are decidedly biased against israel for obvious reasons.

    She also refused to let a single Palestinian-American Democrat speak at the DNC.

    i don’t know of any incidents regarding kamala, or her team publicly refusing the ability of a Palestinian to speak, but i could be wrong. If i had to guess, they prioritized big names and celebrities more than random people, which would generally track, following along with the general controversy surrounding the palestine issue, it’s probably the safest political bet they could make at the time.

    That is prioritizing the genocide over the campaign

    i don’t think this statement even makes sense in a semantic fashion, wouldn’t they stop promoting the campaign, and give like 300 billion dollars to israel instead?

      Purposely pushing away any voters (especially parts of your base) during an election is a crazy choice if you want to win

      And reminder here, they didn’t win, they knew they weren’t winning, they knew they needed more voters and they pushed people away anyway
