33. Hamas must be real proud of themselves with what disaster they brought upon the Palestinians by their Oct. 7th attack
Tue May 14, 2024, 07:10 PM
May 2024

They knew damn well what would happen by what they did on October 7th, a strong retaliation, however, they miscalculated as they normally do. They didn’t get the unwavering support of Arab countries in the region to come to their aid, but what they have done is create a real chance that trump may actually become president, and for those “genocide Joes” who think that not voting for Biden in November will “teach” Democrats a lesson, that worked out real well in 2016, and if they think they are helping the Palestinian situation, it is NOT an understatement if trump gets into the White House again, this could the ultimate disaster for the Palestinians

I didn’t read the details of the Sienna/NYTimes poll that various hosts on MSNBC, and I am sure others have been pushing today what a disaster it is for President Biden, but if those Genz, and young people think things couldn’t get worse if trump gets into the WH again, I suggest they look at 2016. It will be far worse if they don’t vote Democratic down the ticket.

and if another disruption like what happened at the 2016 Democratic convention which left a very divided party, that will not bode well for November.
