The Democrats’ stubborn refusal to learn from the campus protests for Palestine

They learned they can force a protest to end by targeting protestors with non-government entities like college administrations.

Democrats and university admins just ran a standard PR playbook. They depend on students' naivete to succeed at it, and that worked. Several encampmentd accepted mere promises of consideration to disband while others got stronger concess but without them actually being in hand, which were easy to renege on.

For campus protest to work against something as entrenched as Zionism, these lessons need to be learned and consistently passed on and there need to be strong ties to orgs outside the university that can provide seasoned advice.

This is, unfortunately, not borne out by the data. I wish we had this kind of impact, but no, Harris did pretty much as good as Biden in battleground states, which is very good compared to previous elections. Rural votes for Trump just came out way harder for racist scare tactics than ever before.
