"We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not."

That's gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I've heard in a while.

Republicans can’t believe their luck. Like, did they even have to pay for this one?

If voters still support Biden after condoning genocide they deserve to lose. Rewarding the party with continued power after their recent actions enables them to do it again and again with each time getting progressively worse. This is the brain rot from accepting 'lesser evil' that's grown so large that ethnic cleansing is now acceptable

What a hot take. The only brain rot here is yours. Nobody with any sense of nuance is saying "it's acceptable." You can hate what's going on in Israel without also letting the fascists take over. Choosing the lesser evil means the greater evil doesn't win. Also, what do you suppose the fascists will do?

You are presuming there's a viable third option in this scenario. If you can't mobilize voters to vote for a third option en masse, there's effectively only two options. I'll take the one that won't also take my human rights away.
