Hesitant progressives are "swapping" their votes with blue states

[conuly]

This all seems a little silly to me. Still, if you know somebody who might benefit from this concept, let them know now!

Also: Without going into Israel, Palestine, etc. - there is no way Trump is better for Palestinians than Harris. Or for Jews, so, like, that's a twofer right there. So all this vote swapping seems even sillier if that was the origin.

I really did not even want to comment on this for this particular reason but I did want to give an idea of what I'm seeing on my end.

Personally, I'm not feeling that way, but that's my opinion. If anything, it feels like the same process that followed instances like the infrastructure bill drama and it's added to the malaise that's been rampant with the left.

The ceasefire deal itself has always been in contention and it's been pointed out several times that Israel wasn't really invested either and kept going with their plans.

Also, for all the angst, most people will still vote Dem in spite of this anger because they understand the stakes, especially when understanding the value of being in a swing state. I'm not going to ask people why they didn't choose otherwise though, especially if the topic is something that affects them personally.
