Had they kept quiet instead of trying to justify genocide they might have better chances in future elections, but I think they have lost some voters forever. Whether that will matter or not is yet to be seen, they are betting on winning more former-Republican and former-Trump voters so being pro-genocide might work for them.

It would have been so easy! When Harris skipped Netanyahu's address to Congress I thought they were going to do it, even.

They couldn't even pretend for a week.

Exactly, the dems are to the right of Reagan already.
