    Yes, you need to appeal to your base to win. However, if voters are choosing between two candidates with almost identical positions on a topic, that’s not the deciding topic in that election.

    Maybe it should have been, but it wasn’t. If those against genocide really cared about it as their single issuez they would have still voted Harris, who promised nonchangez as opposed to trump who said he’d let Israel do whatever they want.

    It’s a fallacious argument.

      …Those are the same thing. Biden also let Israel do whatever they want.

      I am against genocide so I do not vote for genocide. A truly mind-boggling approach.
