Republican lawmakers introduced a bill that counters two Pacific Northwest states that signed policies allowing the workers to get benefits earlier this year.
While some people care passionately about the genocide, if every single person who stayed home or voted third party over Gaza had showed up to vote, Trump still would’ve won.
That issue wasn’t as important to the election as seemingly anyone wants to believe. Kamala lost because of the perception of the economy, which is the issue that ultimately decides damn near every election.
Which is a fact that I think pisses off both sides of this rift. The withholders because the electorate doesn’t care enough about Gaza, and the rest who want someone to blame.
In another, closer election, maybe it would be the issue that the election hinged upon and they would be complicit in Trump’s actions (including worse Gaza policy than Kamala). But as it turned out, in this election, Gaza was irrelevant to the outcome — as one would expect because there wasn’t much daylight between Kamala and Trump on that particular issue.
So everyone can quit poking them with a stick. I don’t endorse their position at all, but in hindsight they have a clean conscience on the genocide and Trump.
