Even inside the Harris campaign, there was dissent about whether she needed to take a more aggressive stance for Gaza.

A Harris organizer who worked on youth turnout said that senior campaign officials gave them an order: When they sent out mass volunteer or fundraising emails and people replied by asking about Gaza, they were told to mark it as “no response.” The result? They seldom ended up engaging with voters on that issue.

“We also didn’t create a new category for Gaza responses out of fear that category would be leaked. Instead we were told to mark them as ‘no response,’” the organizer said, faulting top Harris campaign leaders for failing to address the issue. “The only ‘clowns’ out there are those who were in senior leadership and decided to abdicate on this issue, who silenced a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and who told us to ignore it every time a voter asked us about Gaza.”

    Yeah, great, both the undecided people are idiots with a idiot plan and the Harris campaign were idiots with an idiot plan.

    By your stupidity combined we get president neo-Nazi.

    Great job guys. Hit the showers and stubbornly not learn a good damn thing.

        Yeah and continuing to sit out or voting Republicans will surely make the change you’re looking for happen.

        Just as long as you’re content with your decisions and accept that the reality of your consequences and that whatever happens going forward your actions helped cause it.

          At one point you need to draw a red line in the sand and say I will not participate in the problem. A distinct lack of morality can be observed.

            Good luck with that.

            Thanks but I’ll continue voting in every election, every primary, for every progressive despite how tiring and disappointing it can be and not throw away the progress made. Provided we can still do that after another four years.

      The “undecided” people were always decided. Decided against genocide, always were, always will be. You want them to learn … learn what, exactly?

      We all told Harris how to win and she refused to take our advice. Even now she can’t admit that she screwed up… Or maybe she actually believed her pro-genocide stance was a good one, and if so, good riddance.

        Really, decided against genocide so they campaigned to let a neo Nazi win. That’s some solid reasoning there, maybe learn to not cut off your nose to spite your face.

        As for Harris, yeah, her and the Democrats should learn to listen to the people but if you seriously think she was pro-genocide, well there’s no point in even taking at that juncture.

        Either way, y’all made your choices, you cast your vote, you didn’t have to deal with Harris any more, good luck dealing with Trump and how receptive he and his administration will be.

          If she wasn’t pro genocide, then it should’ve been easy for her to speak out against genocide, right?

          Either way, y’all made your choices, you cast your vote, you didn’t have to deal with Harris any more, good luck dealing with Trump and how receptive he and his administration will be.

          Again, how receptive was Harris? Clearly there was no choice when it came to genocide. If something as horrific as genocide is non-negotiable, what makes you think either political party cares to work for the people on any other heavily lobbied issue?
