    Way to ignore both articles that show just how much more support Harris would have gotten by standing by an arms embargo, which is both the popular and morally correct position to have.

    Yeah, people in America are selfish. That doesn’t change the reality that they recognize those progressive policies are to their own benefit. If you ignore the material conditions of America and have no material analysis of the situation, it’s not possible to recognize the root cause of voter apathy and populism, let alone the differences between left populism and right populism

      People saying that support when you present them with a moral issue isn’t the same thing as them actually turning up to vote. People have all sorts of opinions about what they ought to do and if you ask them if they intend to exercise, floss their teeth, and support the little chidrens in Africa. This doesn’t mean they will be doing ANYTHING of note given a chance.

      Track actual attendance at gym, check their teeth, and ask for receipts for their donations to feed the starving kids. You’ll find that most of them fell short.

        I don’t care about your opinions. You have nothing to refute the actual articles, you just want to be right regardless of the significant amount of evidence that show you’re wrong about public support for a weapons embargo to stop a fucking genocide
