Why should Democrats go out of their way to appease a tiny minority if it means losing the votes of millions of working class whites?
If anything, the lesson from this election is that Democrats need to jettison their "big tent" politics and go back being the "white working class" party that they were for generations.
But don't worry, I'm sure Republicans will work hard for your votes now.

Voting for Stein is a vote for Trump. This was cutting off their nose to spite their face. “Harris didn’t do enough for me personally, so I’ll vote for the guy who banned us?” WTH kind of logic is that?
The vote for stein did not hat it was intended to do. It got your attention. THAT represent me a victory of its own. Sorry, but you can’t treat your supporters like children who should be seen (to get votes) but not heard. This as the story of the election.
Good for them. They are going to get exactly what they voted for.

But they obviously realize that a Trump administration would be just as supportive of Israel. I would assume that they would go with the candidate who belongs to a party that has a significant faction of people opposed to supporting Israel, which is non-existent in the Republican party. Can anyone help me make sense of this?

That explains why they voted for a woman governor!
Forgot … it also explains why they voted for Tlaib.
The Democratic Party Brown Shirts have found this thread.

I stand by my statement. The sooner people stop being religious the closer we will get to peace. Religion is for the weak and stupid.

What a waste of a vote. Wish people like Stein would drop out after the conventions.
If anything, a vote for stein did exactly what they wanted. It got the Ds to at least notice them. It ore them at your own peril, DNC. Their vote for Stein was never about getting her elected.
I’m not sure this is true. 43k Gazans have died during the Biden admin with countless more having their limbs blown off. 2/3 women and children. Hard to see how their suffering under Trump will be worse. Plus his daughter is married to a Lebanese man. In a way, with one daughter married to a Jewish American and the other married to a Lebanese American maybe Trump is actually best positioned to develop a lasting solution IDK but honestly, how pre Isley can be worse than what is happening now?
A vote for Stein was a vote for Trump.
And, it doesn't matter a damn bit whether the D's notice them or not when you force the D's to lose and they are then powerless to help you.
Bottom line is that a lot more Gazans and a lot more Lebanese will suffer and die over the next four years.
