    I don’t think anyone seriously thought that the Dems would change. The issue is that there was zero reason for someone to vote Dems, since they do not propose any alternative to Republican policies.

      I have seen many people on the internet saying they won’t vote Democrats unless they change their position on Palestine. So there are people who think that. The post-election survey also noted that the most common reason for sitting out of the election was because of Palestine.

        Do you have a link? Honestly did not think yankbeasts cared enough about anti-imperialism to be a significant factor in a presidential election. But reassuring if true.

          It was posted on Hexbear a couple times over the last few weeks. I don’t have the direct link but others here should know/can find the source of what I was talking about.
