Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

From what I see he doesnt appear to be running from the issue. Hes passed a ton of pro trans legislation and it seems he will continue. But the reality is its an 80/20 issue and there is little point in rhetorically fighting on it when you can fight on something better like cost of living or Republican corruption.
That’s what Harris and her team thought about Gaza and look how that worked out.
Yeah look how that worked out for Gaza.
Harris supported a two-state "solution" as much as Biden did.
Her refusal to go against Israel is a large reason why she lost the election.
Do you support a 1 state solution?
I really don't know how many Americans were voting for or against Israel in the last election. I'm guessing it wasn't enough to tip the scales either way.
Dems working on secret report found Gaza cost Harris votes
It was enough to tip the scales and the DNC was trying to hide it.
Thats 1 single analysis and not definitive or well supported.
If Gaza actually did cost her the election then fuck Gaza. I have no sympathy for voters that don't show up to the polls over a single issue they aren't 100% appeased on when the other party is even worse on it.
Yeah genocide is notoriously not a topic worth fighting against /s
Even if all eligible voters had voted in 2024, Trump would have still won.
Be mad all you want at people who actually stand on their principles, but ultimately Harris ran a bad campaign and did not convince enough people to vote for her.
Non-voters got what they didnt vote for.
I'm not convinced that we wouldn't be in a similar position in regard to Iran with Harris.
We would have got congressional approval to bomb them instead.
