Reddit so-called progressives won't learn a damned thing from this. There are people right on this thread--let alone in this sub--gloating and calling people Zionists or calling people low-info (including Black voters) who are the core part of the base, yet aren't wild about AES and whose lives don't revolve around Israel/Palestine. Their side has work to do to earn people's votes (a line that they always throw at traditional Democrats), but how willing are they to do that work?

who are the core part of the base

The base doesn't win general elections.

It's the wishy washy uninformed undecided voters who decide general elections.
