about who they're supporting and why. One of their reasons for being opposed to Democrats in general is they've failed to rein in Trump. Well . . . duh. Numbers count. When you're in the minority, you can pretty much do Jack Squat. I feel as if it's happening all over again, just like the last presidential election. People wouldn't vote for Kamala because she supposedly wasn't pro-Palestine. They voted for Trump instead or didn't vote at all or wrote someone in and we all know what happened in Gaza as a result. Now we've got a bunch splitting the Democratic vote because Democrats supposedly are doing nothing to curb Trump. Wash, rinse, repeat. When will they get it through their heads we are, in the end, a two-party system and the side that gets sliced and diced loses.
