            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.

      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.
