DPCyric Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 3 hours ago, SaysWho? said: Hasn't the Democratic Party always been supportive of Israel? Israel is considered an ally same as any other ally, I always thought. I'm supportive of a ceasefire in the Middle East considering the difference in lives lost between the original terrorist attack and the response since then; many innocent Palestinian civilans are dead now and didn't have to be by many times the number of innocent Israeali who died and didn't have to. And I've been reading there's been progress in that direction. But I don't know if I'd be on-board with not supporting Israel after the Hamas attack considering it was a terrorist attack through and through. I have Jewish friends who are pro-Israel who were also pro-Black Lives Matter and they were stunned and outraged with BLM Chicago posted the pro-Hamas picture with the people parachuting in. Sending them money and Biden going over there is more than just token support. They don't need our help to continue their genocide. The attack on the White House was a terrorist attack should we kill all Republicans? Not all Palestinians are Hamas. 3 hours ago, Air_Delivery said: My idiot friend in 2016 voted for Jill Stein.

The Democratic challenger for mayor of Spokane (the 2nd biggest city in Washington) is currently up 3%, but they had to delay the count because somebody mailed fentanyl to the election office.

WWW.AXIOS.COM A tweet summarizing the article Man, that would be devastating to Republicans if they got it in Florida and that swung the state for Biden. Hard to imagine any scenario at this point where Dems win Florida but lose the election. To make matters worse for themselves.... 1. Florida is a state that relatively recently used such a measure to return voting rights to ex-felons, and the margin wasn't even that close. Not exactly an issue that is typically seen as a conservative staple. 2. This year DeSantis signed a 6 week ban into law. Something even DeSantis knew was so reprehensible that he did it in the dead of night with no fanfare. 3. While it has become less of a Purple state since Trump, it's still far less Red than some states that have already swung big on issues touching on abortion. Such as Kansas, Kentucky, and even Ohio. With the way that this issue has repeatedly surprised everyone with it's margin of support and staying power it does not seem out of reach that it could lift Biden the 3% that Trump beat him by in '20....

finaljedi Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 As usual from what I've seen the Republicans are learning the wrong lessons. I saw a few of the media people saying that the GOP went loser with McDaniel becoming the chair... not getting that their problems might be an elderly crook with bad makeup. In Ohio they blamed Ohioans being confused by the amendment wording and massive advertising money for the Issue 1 win. Not the fact that the anti-abortion stuff is unpopular.
