Dems had a chance to earn my vote and instead they spit in my face.
It’s perfectly fine to give someone a chance to be different, while expecting them to not change. That’s not stupid.
I now have hope that Trump might lose, which is cool and funny, but I maintain zero hope for any positive changes to the American regime. NO politician will hand that to us.
Let’s face it- there was no one among the pool of Biden replacement candidates that was going to lift a finger to stop the genocide. Some quotes:
Gretchen Whitmer: “We here in Michigan condemn this vile act of terrorism,” she said during an event at a synagogue days after Hamas’s October 7 attack in Israel. “We stand with Israel. And Israel has a right to defend itself.”
In April, Whitmer was asked by CNN whether she supports a permanent ceasefire in Gaza; she skirted the question.
Gavin Newsom: “Despite the horror, what I saw and heard from the people of Israel was a profound sense of resilience. A commitment to community and common purpose, especially in these most difficult of times,” he said in a statement after his trip on October 20. “That’s the Israeli spirit. And it’s also the California spirit.”
Josh Shapiro: In April, he likened pro-Palestinian student protesters to the Ku Klux Klan. The campus protests, however, have been largely peaceful, and student leaders say accusations of anti-Semitism misrepresent their aim: to encourage their universities to divest from Israeli companies linked to the country’s human rights abuses.
“We have to query whether or not we would tolerate this if this were people dressed up in KKK outfits or KKK regalia making comments about people who are African American in our communities,” Shapiro told CNN.
Pete Buttigieg: But months later, he appeared to change his position. Asked whether he would pledge to place conditions on aid to Israel to prevent annexation, he said: “If you’re asking me to commit to withdrawing American support for Israel, the answer is no.”
