It’s too bad that Harris and her campaign didn’t try even once to satiate or appeal to Palestinian-Americans and their allies

The Uncommitted Movement wasn’t a wrecker attempt to create chaos in the party. It was a serious venture by *Democratic Party operatives* who were trying to throw a Hail Mary to get the Dems to realize how much sympathy they had lost. The Dem Party didn’t care one bit
I have heard several stories from Uncommitted organizers about how they were laughed at by their Arab-American centrist friends and colleagues for even trying to get them to vote for the Dems after they oversaw a genocide. The gall to castigate them is beyond repute
Uncommitted asked the Harris campaign, as their main request, to allow a Palestinian *Dem state senator who endorsed Harris* to speak at the convention, and Harris’ ppl refused. They asked for a ceasefire plank, they got the Biden status quo. The Harris ppl reaped what they sowed
Maybe Trump wouldn’t have done so well with Arab American communities if the Dems had tried even once to appeal to their interests, as if they were an actual voting bloc worth considering. They did it to Polish Americans, why not Palestinians?
