If a blowout this big occurred just because young leftists protested the genocide, it stands to reason that the democratic party made in error in judgement when they supplied more bombs to the genocide and scolded young leftists. They campaigned with Liz fucking Cheney and had Bill Clinton tell muslims in Michigan they deserve it. If you see this as anything other than a complete failure in leadership, you're delusional.

"Shut up about the genocide. It's bad for our polling numbers." That take is batshit insane. If you support a genocide and then can't figure out why you lost an election, you're hopeless.
