But the DNC insists it was the tone of his voice, the color of his suit, and his friendly smile. It couldn’t possibly be his policies.

Why do they frame it as rights? Let's start with not fucking killing them, I'm pretty sure that's a little more fundamental than rights.
Because traditional news have drilled into many people's head that there are no innocents there, at all.
Some of them are so delusional that they think phrases like "Stop killing children" is said in support of terrorism. It's honestly 1984 levels of brainwashing.
Everything is about rights the right to live, the right of free mouvements, the right to self defence. Palestinians are stripped from all of them .
Tell that to President Whitmore during his epic speech in Independence Day!
Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.

No no. You see, Israel has the right to defend itself by being proactive in it's mass murder and cultural removal.
Palestine has no right to defend itself from any of this, and if anyone does they'll kill 500 people starting with the family of the person to did something.
That's just fair!

Don't get me wrong: stopping Israel from genociding, colonizing, and otherwise persecuting the Palestinians is an absolute moral imperative. But in terms of being a political imperative, this poll is not saying what Truthout wants to pretend it is.
Why is Truthout.org trying to downplay/distract from the economic populism?
I've got a taste for sealion. Where did all the sea lions from 2024 go?
Meanwhile, Democrats like Pete Buttigieg: “It’s not what he says, it’s just how he says it.”

not him, literally the entire democratic party. they are desperate to believe that it's not socialist policies. they're the best at taking the wrong (ie convenient) lesson every time.
the democratic party establishment is a bunch of rich fucks who never interact with real people, take AIPAC money in the hundreds of thousands if not millions, and engage in shady stock exchange to boot.
Buttigieg's attack on Mamdani makes his own tone and messaging, and stories about his home life seem entirely manipulative. Like a Freudian slip admitting his own tactics, when reflecting against someone who has been clear and open about their political and ethical views.
It really feels as if they think of their entire base as morons when they keep repeating this
This made Palestinian rights the third-most important reason to back Mamdani among those who voted for him, only ranking behind his proposals to lower costs for everyday Americans and to tax the wealthy and take on corporations.
As important as the Palestinian genocide issue is, I'm glad the tax the wealthy reason is up there too.
I never thought running a campaign on issues that people care about would make them popular.
Like ffs how out of touch are these people?

We've been saying this since 2023. By December it was clear what Israel was doing. The base was never going to have it.
Keep in mind that basically all elected Democrats are still supporting Israel. Consider what impact this is going to have in mid terms.
Asking voters to support a genocide; not giving another option in 2024, will go down as one of the greatest and most disastrous acts of political malpractice in history.
And if you defended the candidates position on genocide or tried to badger voters instead of moving the candidate, not only were you an apologist for genocide: you contributed to Donald Trump's victory.
That's interesting given the office he's seeking has very little power to do something about it.
It's at least a nice podium for raising awareness, and it'll help break the Zionist stranglehold on American politics.
It's also only the third most important reason, according to the polling. Considering the first two, you can see why the powers that be would like those to be the story even less.
