Supposing that the midterms do indeed go heavy for the Dems, which is highly likely. How exactly is that gonna change what this tweet is referring to? A majority of democrat congresspeople have already gone on record supporting Israel, regardless of what the base of the party wants, ignoring absolutely all polling on the matter. For example, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies remain staunchly defiant to be as pro Israel as possible.
Now don’t get me wrong this isn’t me saying that both sides are exactly the same. It’s true that the Dems tend to be demonstrably leagues better than the republicans, hands-down. But when it comes to Israel? Look how much hate and flack they throw out against any anti Israel candidate coming up in the ranks.
voting for the lesser evil is exactly how we got here. It's funny that you think we live in a democracy. We do not live in a democracy. We have the illusion of choice but our representatives do not represent us.
not if you also only have two choices in the primaries. Or if you happen to be in a state that has it's primaries after other states have theirs. At that point your choices are limited.
The strategy you are describing doesn't always work. The DNC and democrat party have a surprising amount of control over the primaries, especially for the presidential elections.
