Some people did try to change the game; anti-genocide protests had been going on since October and Uncommitted got going nine months before the election. Both were dismissed by basically the whole country.
You think nine months before an election is enough time to change a massive establishment like the DNC? Presidential campaigns take years of planning before candidates even announce their running.
You think a small percentage of voters in a few states whose only message is “Don’t vote for Biden” is the kind of action we need to “change the game”? If this is the kind of action lemmy progressives expect to take and make meaningful strides towards progress it’s absolutely no surprise nothing actually gets done. Maybe do something useful besides spreading fasicts voter suppression talking points and maybe start now instead of February 2028.

No, but it’s certainly enough time to force their hand. They kept saying it was too late for Biden to step down and then, surprise surprise, he fucking stepped down four months before the election.

Setting aside your obvious misrepresentation of the Uncommitted Movement, yeah so what the fuck did you want them to do? The genocide certainly didn’t care about the American electoral cycle. Maybe if people like you supported them they wouldn’t be a small percentage of voters in a few states and would have been able to actually get things done. Uncommitted was an opportunity for the wider progressive community to force the DNC to give them something better, and what did they do instead? “It’s too late” and “hold your nose and vote for her”. God maybe wake up before you get thrown into a concentration camp?
As the economy burns, your rights are stripped away, and Palestine is bulldozed to the ground to make room for Trump resorts, I’m sure you’ll be able to sleep soundly while feeling like you kept your moral high-ground.

Dems fought harder against those protesting a genocide than trump

I… Literally never said anything about a moral high ground. The fuck, at least read what I said before responding.
WOW, OCTOBER?!
YOU MEAN ONE MONTH WASN’T ENOUGH?
You know which October is being referenced here, and it wasn’t the one that immediately preceded the 2024 election.
