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.”
Uncommitted leaders wanted the United States to be destroyed. They don’t care at all about Gaza and never have. If you were dumb enough to fall for their shit, you deserve what happens to you.

Out of touch or purposely ignoring and misleading?
I don’t see any other country in the world doing anything to stop Israel. What are campaign workers really supposed to say? Ignoring and misleading was clearly a poor response. But, so was voting for Trump via not voting at all.
But hey, speeding up the decline is the whole point, right? Who cares how many people die! 🤡
We didn’t need to continue selling them weapons.
Agreed. But the US isn’t the only country selling them weapons. Israel has been doing this shit for decades, and no one seemed to care until an election year. Where are the “genocide Trump” comments? Nowhere to be found.
That doesn’t make it conscionable.
Agreed! It doesn’t mean we should elect Trump, either.

Well that certainly is a take. Not a good one that’s backed up by anything bit certainly a take.
I do agree that their strategy was dumb but they now have to live with the reality that is trump now.
Just because you say it’s just “a take” and not backed up by anything doesn’t mean that it’s “a take” and not backed up by anything. You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but that does not make correct. Feel free to give me some sources backing up your ”a take,” and I will immediately dismiss them. ;)
You’re the one who made the extraordinary claim that the Uncommitted leaders wants to destroy America, so you need to provide that proof, not me there bucko.
And for you to straight up admit you’d simply dismiss any evidence brought to you pretty much solidifies you’re take is shit and your not exactly a bright person or serious person.
If I thought I could convince you, I would try. If you can’t see the forest through the trees by now, there’s nothing I can do to help you.
Every rational person wants the USA destroyed. It’s a garbage genocidal empire that’s literally destroying the planet.
If you’re dumb enough to believe the nationalist BS, then you’re probably posting ignorant comments on lemmy.
Every rational person should want all authoritarian governments destroyed without destroying the people within the country they control. Thinking otherwise just means you’re willing to sacrifice lives on a bet that worse means better eventually—which has never been the case.
