139. It was a mistake to invite more antisemites into the party

Sat Dec 28, 2024, 09:09 PM

Dec 28

in the first place… some were already here. This is one of the major mistakes the party has made in the past 10 years or more. Probably longer than that but the more recent elections I think were over the past 8 to 10 years.

When I saw this happening and other things that they were doing I was not happy with it obviously but I have no choice so I will keep voting for Democrats. I always vote for the candidate. I always vote for what is going to be the best result for everybody in my opinion. And I don’t complain if I don’t like the candidate like many do in this party I just vote for whoever it is. I don’t need to be excited etc. and that was true when I was 24 years old when I became a citizen and first started voting I voted in every election since then.

The past year has been a very trying and traumatic time to see the vile antisemitism and support of terrorism on the streets in this country and across the world. . It was all set to go and already orchestrated the day after 10 seven, that should tell you something.
