The resolutions, like the previous ones Sen. Sanders advanced less than four months ago, had no chance of passing and were aimed at covering up the bipartisan support for genocide in Washington.

For the second time in the less than four months, the US Senate has resoundingly voted in support of continuing the genocide in Gaza by rejecting two resolutions aimed at blocking some $9 billion in weapons to the Israeli government.

    Valid observations.

    However, many elections are decided by less than 1%, so losing an entire 2% block could hurt, and Jews tend to vote in higher numbers than the average.

    But yeah, there are other factors at play, but the vote is always the bottom line, and the Dems can’t afford to lose this historically reliable demographic.
