"it's not the candidates job to convince people to vote for them" is a wild take.

When it comes to the left, which now has the bar set at, "does not tolerare genocide", the Democrats cannot fail, they can only be failed.

You're welcome for the civics lesson, citizen. Don't forget to buy war bonds!

Remember, the situation is dire enough that leftists need to abandon everything they believe in and throw their enthusiastic support behind genocidal monsters, but not so dire that the Democrats need to actually make an effort to attract voters

Of course. Our precious political class has delicate sensibilities and nedds time for self-care.

Oh and Dem voters, no need to join organizations or take direct action. Just sit around being a little stressed out and blaming everyone else is plenty. You did your part! If you must do something, go to a one-off police escorted protest with no feasible demands or threats to do anything that would ever exert pressure.

And make sure those protests don't mention Israel! That would be anti-Semitic terrorism
