    LOL yep. I don’t know if I have the honor of being blocked yet myself. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if I was. They’ve spent the last year and a half or more trying to paint Biden as the literal devil. For not using some unknown Presidential Power to waive his hand and end the genocide in Gaza. Because there’s no way on Earth that Congress. The body that approves and appropriates funding for Aid to foreign countries wouldn’t immediately override any such mandate. Or that Netanyahu wouldn’t just tell him to go pound sand.

    Biden should have pushed back against it more. Not fast-tracking some of the weapons shipments that he did Etc. And while there are many reasons the Democrats lost including running a shit campaign.

    Another rather large reason outside of that is the group of people who hyperfocused and hyperbolically attacked Biden. Even as he tried to bring an end to the genocide in gaza. Leaving many goldfish brained voters to think that Donald Trump was the better candidate. Despite being objectively worse. None of these people will consider that they were manipulated and used. Or are even proud that they were used. Justifying it, in that they maintained their ideological purity.
