Democrats caught themselves in a feedback loop just to protect Israel's genocide and we tried to warn you about this for over a year. There's going to be all sorts of "official" narratives from corporate outlets on why Democrats lost, and none of them will admit what I'm saying because they don't have a spine. Don't let these paid shills gaslight you. Their stations only exist to dumb you down and tell you what you want to hear. The progressive wing of this country is who does a lot of the free labor for the Democrats and this free labor is worth more than all the bribes in the world. All the unpaid word-of-mouth and unpaid grassroots organizing that progressives do across the country with their passion and their expressed intentions and their heightened emotions is a priceless gift that money can't buy. The goal for any Democrat should be to maximize this variable to its fullest potential. Supporting Israel's genocide does the EXACT opposite and it breaks a LOT of people's hearts. Pro tip: If feelings of disenchantment and disillusionment are spreading within your party, and people start protesting, how about NOT framing these protesters as "antisemitic" or "foreign agents"? Seems like common sense. An unchecked genocide will mean LESS unpaid campaign labor from progressives, which was crucial to beating Trump in 2020. LESS unpaid campaign labor means MORE unchecked misogyny & racism from bots and the far-right, and unchecked misogyny & racism leads to a FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS in the masses, which leads to the Democratic Party's FUTILE STRATEGY of moving FURTHER RIGHT to PANDER to this false consciousness and chase votes they'll NEVER get, which leads to even LESS unpaid campaign labor, and the cycle REPEATS, so on and so forth. It was the unpaid labor of the progressives that helped carry Biden across the finish line in 2020. The opportunity cost of losing unpaid campaign labor to satisfy the pro-Israel lobby will be ignored by CNN and MSNBC because these outlets have a vested stake in Israel's atrocities. All Democrats had to do was hold Israel to the same standards that they held Russia, and then an organic coalition of diverse groups from all walks of life would've coalesced a year ahead of the election, and there'd be no excuse for Democrats to foolishly move right and campaign with racist monsters like Dick Cheney. That's how easy it would've been to stop Trump. The moderates, the centrists, and the Zionists were never going to provide the Democrats the unpaid campaign labor it takes to beat Trump and it was always a foolish strategy to try and appeal to them over the progressives.
