Sure, a ton of Americans don't really know or care about Palestine, but you know who does? The progressive liberal activists who form the vanguard of Dems' ground game, and are following accounts that put pictures of massacred civilians on their social media feeds. The party's ongoing efforts to completely excise the people who do the most to make sure they win seats is actually gonna fucking kill the party finally. In 12 years the only people who will still be voting for them will be CPUSA members.

Seriously, the people who hold Precinct level roles in the party have a minimum age of 55. They physically can't knock on all the doors. They NEED young people to be gung-ho enough to be shipped in as "Field Organizers" and worked 80 hours a week for sub-fast food wages* to campaign the way they want to.

  • At least I experienced that first hand in 2016. Hopefully wages have gotten better since then 👀
