Everything coming out of their mouths, their actions…like, this all seems like self sabotage? Campaigning in Michigan with Cheney, ‘what happened on October 7th is so much worse than the genocide in Gaza’, ‘the empathy we did not display towards gaza doesn’t mean we support Gaza’.

Sub zero intelligence in that campaign/party or are they actively campaigning to lose? It’s a train wreck lmaoo

Its jaw dropping and I've been confused also but I THINK in my limited layman's opinion they WANT to win...but only if it can be on their specific terms.

Like with Israel...I think they may be in a bit of a quagmire. I think they are aware the genocide is broadly unpopular but the problem is that they also fundamentally agree with the zionist agenda and can't decouple themselves from it. Its a bit shocking how they won't even bother to lie about it...but I think they've gamed it out and decided that politically its actually more dangerous/volatile to risk completely ceding that ground to the republicans.

With the Cheney's....I don't know...I'd be curious what polls show because just anecdotally I know my grandparents and a lot of their Reagan era republican friends who switched during the Obama years fucking love her.

Speculation: they may be primarily motivated to focus exclusively on that voting bloc because they don't actually expect the democrats to do anything different or material???
