Because there is a deep divide in the party. The voters are turning on Israel in massive numbers. The leadership has not changed position.

The solution is new leadership, like AOC, that reflects the will of the voters. That’s how democracy is supposed to work, in theory.

Nate Bronze keeps falling lower. He started as a serious data analyst, now he’s writing clickbait articles, desperate for attention.

If energy infrastructure is destroyed, then “paying a little bit extra at the pump” is just the beginning. You will need to reduce your overall consumption by 15-20%.

The joy of Trump’s downfall will not be enough to mask the real economic pain, unfortunately.
