Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today announced Senate votes on his two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) to block the sale of $8.8 billion in U.S. bombs and other munitions to Israel, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs. Floor debate on Sanders’ JRDs will begin around 1:30 p.m. ET, subject to change based on the Senate schedule.
Surprising nobody:

“The Senate voted 82-15 and 83-15 to reject two resolutions of disapproval over sales of massive bombs and other offensive military equipment.”
You don’t vote against AIPAC. Not if you want to stay in office.
Tell that to Harris.

It’s referred to as Escalation of Commitment (at least in business school).
Some people have a really hard time admitting when they’ve been wrong. Especially if they feel tricked/bamboozled. So instead, they double down with their original premise. In other words, there’s just no convincing someone who doesn’t have an open mind.
Who?
Exactly.
Harris lost because she offered no real economic change. Most voters didn’t care about the genocide, or voted for even more genocide. For all we know, Harris might have lost by even more without AIPAC campaign contributions.
While her economic plan wasn’t strong, it did exist. The more telling thing, though, is that a lot of leftists decided that Trump would somehow be better for Gazans than Harris, and decided to “stick it to the dems” by either not voting or going for Trump.
And now those people are silent lol
A lot of centrists decided that trump was preferable to ending their support for genocide.
