Vice President Kamala Harris' refusal to break with the Biden administration's support for Israel's assault on Gaza cost her millions of potential Democratic voters.

I think, in general, it was more apathy. I know too many people with the kind of narrow world view that makes them not see the difference between the two parties. All they see the slow slide into a capitalist dystopia and they just check out. 7 million less votes can’t be pinned on one issue. It was a hundred issues that haven’t changed in forty years.

It’s not like we didn’t know a lot of the tactics that the Republican party has employed for the last 30 years. These aren’t giant secrets, and they could be combated, except most Washington Democrats don’t want to, presumably because their corporate backers don’t want to.
