TLDR Trump loosed the dogs of war, screwed the pooch, and now gets to eat a dogshit sandwich. He won on day one and lost everything. Iran's regime literally changed — new Supreme Leader, wartime mandate, unified population — and the US is still bombing...
And you represent the real problem, in my opinion.
bOtH pArTiEs need to stop treating independents like shit. It doesn’t help you. You REQUIRE independents to win, perhaps you should stop treating them with contempt? Maybe do what they want… like stop supporting Israel?
You might THINK not supporting Israel is “blatant extreme right wing authoritarianism”, but independents don’t agree with you. Have a little respect… a tiny bit.
I’m not a Democrat and I sure as hell don’t support Israel…what are you even talking about? The 1/3 thing is a consistent split throughout history across the globe, I’m not just talking about Israel or our right wing terrorist party and our super ultra right wing terrorist party.
I think you’re way overestimating the consistency of independents in the US when it comes to Israel. See recent Gallup figures from February. It’s only in the last year that net sentiment seems to cut against support for Israel.
This seems to come up a bit. Disaffected voters recognize that neither dominant party represents them, see that others feel the same way, and then seemingly assume that the other disaffecteds share their opinion on x or y. If only the party would align with me on this topic, they’d bring over all the independents! It’s not that simple of an equation for many issues.
This isn’t to say Democrats to a good job at triangulating public will or building a coalition. They do not.

Just an idea.
