During negotiations with the DNC and the Harris campaign, we were repeatedly told by interlocutors that Harris couldn’t meet any of our basic requests (a policy shift from Biden, a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, a statement distinguishing herself from Trump on Israel, or even a meeting with Michigan families who lost loved ones to Israeli bombs) because of AIPAC-aligned politicians like Fetterman, who might take to TV, rile up suburban white and Jewish voters, and fracture the party’s coalition in a swing state.

That political calculus alienated a key voting bloc, although likely not large enough to have shifted the ultimate election outcomes, that should be part of a durable Democratic majority. But few will ever be held accountable for that choice.

A Fetterman staffer condemning Uncommitted for not advocating for Palestinians 'the right way' is like an arsonist scolding the fire department for using the wrong hose.

Oh here we go. You started by confidently declaring that the genocide is "much worse" under Trump (not just worse, much worse), then as soon as it's rightly pointed out that that's complete bullshit, you retreat like an absolute coward into "well how can we know anything for sure maaaaaan!" sophistry.

Hey dipshit, if you have to be a war reporter in Gaza to know what's going on in Gaza, then what is the point of having war reporters?

Turns out it is actually possible to know what is happening in Gaza; the fact that you have refused to do so because it conflicted with your sports team politics doesn't change that.

Since the ceasefire, the number of bombings has plummeted, that is an objective fact. Since the ceasefire, the number of aid trucks getting has skyrocketed, that is an object fact. Since the ceasefire, tens of thousands of Palestinians have re-entered Northern Gaza, which was ethnically cleansed under the Biden administration, that is an objective fact.

The fact that you only care about what Trump says rather than what is actually happening to the people in Gaza makes it damn clear that, like most BlueMAGA fanatics, it's just a fictional place that only exists as a plot line in your entertainmentized election cycle.

What are your plans for the next election?

I'm not American, dipshit. I know that might be hard for you to believe, till now you didn't realize that foreigners actually existed as real people. I don't get to have a plan in your election, I just get to have my family members killed by the people you elect, and then have to listen to you fascist ghouls lie about it. What's your fucking plan for the next election?
