Oh great, we've reached the blaming minorities part of the program.

I blame the smallest minority: jill stein

Can't wait four the next 3 years of nothing from her.

If Jill Stein wasn't there those people would've voted for someone else or stayed home. The democrats had a whole year to tell Bibi to knock it off, and they didn't.

Stein voters werent a deciding factor in any swing states. So maybe they contributed, but theres more to it than that.

I wish I had that gif of Dems plugging their ears while walking past genocide protestors outside the convention this year.

Yes, I'm sure that will cancel out the increase in genocides and human rights violations likely to happen under Trump's admin

Not saying that. I think it shows very succinctly how the Dems always ignore different parts of their "big tent party" to court moderates that don't vote for them. It shows how out of touch they are and they will still refuse to learn anything.

Just blame the people protesting genocide. The people with energy and motivation to do something. Keep ignoring them instead of talking to them or listening to them. If they just pretend to give a damn, people might surprise you. A lot of people want to know their voice is being heard. Ignore them like children in the video and get ignored back.

I know the US isn't going to stop backing Israel. They are a strategic military position that the US might use in the future. I know this, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to voters concerns. Especially if I was the DNC and wanted their vote. We aren't going to get anywhere just ignoring each other.
