Maybe make your one issue election about your country and not others? And I mean if you really cared about Palestine, you wouldn't have stood off to the side and let Trump through, cause now you'll get to watch the complete annihilation of Palestine, and even more of your tax dollars will go towards the genocide

With Kamala you had someone you could work with and who responds to bad press and would have buckled to your demands. Now you got Trump who gives zero fucks about what you don't like

I'm not American and you didn't answer my question.

If pro-palestinian one issue voters lost Kamala the election, why didn't she appease them? Why are the voters to blame and not the democrats?

Im an Israeli anarchist, but I'm still going to try my best at explaining.

American liberals won't ever appease leftists, or minorities, because they expect subservience and loyalty for nothing in return. In so doing they play right into the fascists' hands, trying to serve right wingers who already made their minds up in voting for a fascist.

It is very likely not only more leftists but more Muslim and arabic people would've voted for dems if it weren't for dems insisting that kamala should keep supporting israel and that criticism is amount to betrayal.

As much as i despise electoralism, being an anarchist and all, it's very simple to understand how and why this happened even from an electoralist perspective, makes one think maybe american liberals just don't want to understand.

And before anyone says I'm talking out of my ass about american libs, as if i don't know them because I don't live in the states: Know that they walk and talk just the same as israeli liberals, and these empty platitudes and threats of being a traitor are the same as i get at home.

If I'm understanding your comment correctly we're more or less on the same page.

My question is not a literal question but me pointing out the paradox sucking up to Israel to "win the election" and then blaming pro-palestine voters after they lose the election.

Oh, yeah that makes more sense, we're definitely on the same page.
