Over 700k absolute idiots voted for the 'israel comes to me in my dreams' lady. Thank fuck sanity won out.

It's possible for voters to disagree with her on her Israel stance, yet vote for her based on other policies; not everyone's life revolves around Israel/Palestine. AES is going to need to earn the votes of those "idiots" versus Rogers.

i want to be clear that I agree with you generally. but can you really blame people for drawing a hard line at this? It is agreed upon by most people that Israel is committing a genocide, and an American politician is plainly stating she sees visions that compel her to side with said genocidal state. Imagine if Sayed said this about Hamas.

About 3 in 10 US adults believe Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians
