54. no. we were extremely devided, within the party

Palestine was a lose lose for our ticket, no matter what they said or did, they were going to piss off some faction of the party.

I've been saying since the start that if trump took power, one way or another I didn't expect gaza to exist within the year. I guess the us jumping in feet first never occurred to me. But otherwise, we are right on schedule with that. Plus a new handy distraction with a news topic that unites the maga and divides Democrats.
