I am just as frustrated by the Michigan + Midwest Palestinian/Muslim/Arab community picking this as the moment to die on that hill, particularly since, you know, Trump’s liable to ban Muslims from entering the country if he gets in again. Like, if he had gotten reelected, I’d bet a year’s salary that he’d be ordering the USAF to carpet bomb Gaza with B-52s like it was the Tet Offensive.
But the fact remains that those critical demographics have picked that as their line in the sand, and you can’t just flip a switch and change that entire community’s opinion. So the options have become:
berate them for that choice, and likely further alienate them, which will likely suppress their turnout in the general election
come up with a more coherent and less asinine and hypocritical policy to apply to the clusterfuck of a situation that is Gaza these days, and actually drive some voter turnout in some really important regions.
I’m on the same page, for what it’s worth. Trump must be stopped. I’m just consistently frustrated by the constant unforced errors and clumsy messaging that the Democratic Party is so good at.

Centrists will choose “berate” every last time.
