CNN data guru Harry Enten broke down the latest polling in the Democratic Party on views toward Israel and the Palestinians on Wednesday and marveled at the massive shift in attitudes, declaring he’s “rarely” seen anything like it in his many years of looking at polling data.
Enten spoke to anchor Kate Bolduan in the context of Zohran Mamdani’s sweeping victory over ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s Democratic Party mayoral primary last week.
“What are we talking about here? All right, who do Democrats sympathize more with: Israelis or Palestinians? In 2017, the Democratic Party was a pro-Israeli party. Look at this. They sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points—more with the Israelis than the Palestinians. But look at this sea change. Now, Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points.Oh my God! That is a change in the margin of 56 points over the course of just eight years. So all of a sudden, it’s the pro-Palestinian position that actually reigns supreme in Democratic politics, not the Israeli position. And that is part of the reason why Mamdani was able to do so well in this primary, because those attacks over Israel, simply put, did not ring true for Democrats”
They are not “just like Republicans”. Yes, they’re corrupt, and it’s important to realize that. But like, holy shit man one party is literal fascists, and the other isn’t. That said, need labor party
Poloticians = corrupt eventually.
They’re also, you know, actively genocidal.
Do you like one genocide or 2 genocide? Because with Republicans you get 2. And israel genocide is not changing no matter who America elects
Non-sequitor
Completely sequitoral. It’s actively relevant to the statement that they’re genocidal
Nope, it’s just whataboutism
It is not. There is a binary choice, and comparing the 2 is not what aboutism when it’s a choice between them
