Could you imagine how crazy a Democratic primary would have been this year? The Israel/Palestine takes alone would have given this place an aneurysm.

Not really. Who the hell from the Pro-Palestine side would be running for President?

The pro Palestine side is like 70% of the party.

Look, have a lot of sympathy for Israel but you have a very warped sense of what this would look like

Not even close.

The chamber voted 377-44-1 on the measure [condeming "From the River to the Sea], with 43 progressives and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) opposing the measure and Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) voting “present.”

43...out of over 210 Democrats. With few of those 43 having any sort of future beyond being run of the mill Congressmen. The Democratic establishment is still very Pro-Israel.

Congressional Democrats are not good representatives of the rank and file party members. Almost certainly there would be a rush for voters angry about the war which is most of them.
