    Anyone who didn’t vote out of protest did far more to “fuck up the Gaza situation” than she did.

      While I think “protest not voting” is bad (considering the alternatives), so is giving even more weapons to a genocidal state.

        You can’t win elections by running on a pro-genocide platform

        Unless you’re a Republican, of course, then it becomes a necessity.

          She basically ran a republican campaign from the dem side. Talked about her gun. war hawked racist immoral wars. palled around with a cheney. Ignored her voters. Talked about praying twice a day. The only thing missing would be talking about how she was a young republican “goldwater girl” like hillary tried to do. Both of them tried to pretend to be crypto republicans ,constantly winking at right wingers to try to fit in, so they could gain enough republican votes to ignore the left. Both of them failed at that epicly. That should be a lesson to future Dem candidates. You exist in a coalition, so get your shit together and act like it. Or lose.

            Depends, is the goal to make America better, or just to have power? Republicans have proven that being evil is the easiest way to get power.
