    Ukraine support doesn’t bother me, that’s not splitting anyone here. Palestinian support, when it’s fervent enough to make Dems vote against Dem candidates, now we have a problem. Domestic issues, when they involve a fascist takeover, are simply more pressing than 70-year-old foreign policy, even if it does need fixing… it has for a long time. We won’t be able to get there if we’re an authoritarian hellhole.

      That’s the way you feel. Other people feel that a country in which the political duopoly supports genocide isn’t worth saving. Their opinion is just as valid as yours at the polling place, so if you want to see that nation saved, it’s on you to convince them to vote for your party.

      By maybe not having it support genocide.

      Hypothetically. The numbers show that genocide almost certainly was not a deciding factor in the election. Continuing to bang that drum, and blame imaginary voters, well, provides some strong hints about why your side lost.
