DNC officials told us their own data had clearly shown that the party's policy on Israel-Palestine was a 'net-negative' in the election. But the DNC refuses to share those results with the public.
DemocRats continue to put AIPAC and affiliate ahead of their American members and their own relevancy in the politics. They lost my vote and support and I am not sure they will ever get it back as their support for the genocidal Israel is far stronger than their support for people like me.
"But more than that, it will end up being a historic stain on our country that generations of people will look back on and wonder how the United States of America found itself funding the destruction of homes in Gaza instead of building homes here.”
I know what you're trying to do with “homes” (destruction abroad vs. building here) but, come on, the main stain on our country will be the murdering of the PEOPLE inside those homes. (And yes, I know that genocide was mentioned in the article, which I appreciated, but let’s keep the perspective slightly better, shall we? Maybe add ‘people’ to the sentence, if you will edit this?)
Actions speak louder than words. Until the DNC shows action, their words are meaningless. I support specific candidates and issues, not a dollar to the spineless DNC. If anything, they’re a hindrance to progress and winning.
Damn skippy and no surprises. Release the report. Just another example of corporate Dem obtuseness and to what purpose? This shitshow we are all having to survive is due to their hubris.
The analysis is spot on, but we might as well be shouting into the great void.
Let's be clear on who and what the Democratic "Party" is (as opposed to some of its individual elected members): Since at least the late 80's, they have been the party of war, Wall Street, middle class austerity, and, more recently, a Zionism so craven the so-called "liberal elite" sends in their own campus police to marginalize, expel, and beat the crap out of their own children for having the moral clarity to call out ethnic cleansing when they see it. Seems like many of them would rather serve Bibi and the greater Israel project than their own constituents. Sounds alot like the other party, right? FDR is rolling in his grave.
Hardly surprising that so many right-thinking Americans have come to detest the party. Democracies only work when there are (at least) two parties standing in opposition to each other.
As long as you have Israel firsters like Chuck Shumer in charge, there is no way that the Dems are going to have a clear eyed view of the Gaza calamity.
The Dems need to come to their senses, examine what's in their hearts and what's been missing, admit they have been wrong, apologize and define a fair, honest policy on Palestine. They will sleep better at night.
they should , but they wont..sadly their prefer the cold hard cash of pro-israel lobby groups to actually serving the american people :(

Good article, thank you, with a caveat re:

That which is left unspoken screams for the truth
and VOICE brother!
Zeteo. Shall we put faith in this two-party puppet show then?
'It was political malpractice for Democratic leadership to choose funding a genocide over stopping Donald Trump. '
This is the chokehold of the Israeli lobby on the Democratic leadership of Schumer and Jeffries.
Would anything change under these leaders? I doubt it.
Primary them NOW!

And cowardice.

Or in contrast, rather than in opposition. The goal is to find complementary solutions, not to oscillate between extremes.
As long as you have Israel firsters like Chuck Shumer in charge, there is no way that the Dems are going to have a clear eyed view of the Gaza calamity.
Not to release the data is shameful. How can they expect anyone to have respect for them?
Indeed. Well said.
Dems need to grow a spine
perhaps it's about complicity with a more pleasant demeanor, dean....

Some of us knew it as it happened. We begged Harris to take a stand. But thanks to you, the public knows it now.
Democratic establishment needs to be purged from the party, starting with Schumer & Jeffries.
