Feels like these politicians are either (1) extremely bad at reading the room or (2) they are making sure they have a space in the next stage of fascist takeover and realize it’s pointless to try to appeal to the MASSIVE anti Israel polling in the Democratic party AND this country.
It felt like they were leaning into Liberal Zionism with a taste of “Benjamin Netanyahu is the problem” so they could call it a genocide.
But, now, the slimiest of these politicians like Gavin Newsom are going in complete reverse to his voters and polls. Feels like they don’t even have to consider the voters. They’re not speaking to us at all.
I try not to assume they are stupid. It’s too simple. They are doing this for a selfish reason to maintain some sense of position or at least not be rounded up with the rest of us.
