By voting for Trump, you have insured the Palestinians are much worse off. At least with Harris there would’ve been a possibility of the US eventually condemning the genocide. Now we have the Trump admin cheering it on. So, how did voting the way you did help the Palestinian people?
I blame the DNC for constantly shooting themselves in both feet, especially when it comes to their insistence on running sham primaries. I blame the neoliberals in both parties for creating the propaganda and legal bribery industries that shifted the Overton window so far right in this country. I blame voters like you, for not being able to see the forest for the trees when the options we’re given are more neoliberalism, or blatant fascism. You chose now, of all times, to put your foot down with the DNC, because that’s what the bandwagon was doing. Now you think your rage at the system justifies a decision, that you made, that helped bring us outright fascism. Meanwhile, minorities like me get to sit here wondering why so many leftists were willing to sacrifice us on the alter of idealogical purity. If you were actually concerned about Palestinians, you would’ve voted for the option that had potential to ease their suffering. In other words, there would’ve been far more political pressure on Harris to do something about the genocide. Instead, we got Trump talking about “wiping it clean” for new development. If you want to continue to justify implicitly voting for Trump, by abstaining, then please explain how Trump is better for Palestine than Harris. That was your primary motivation for not voting after all, right?
They are receiving plenty of blame. In the mean time, we get to watch Trump destroy our country, cheer on the genocide in Gaza, and openly flirt with invading our allies. All thanks to the morons that bought into propaganda telling them not to vote.
So… You claim to understand the difference between liberals and leftists, and you think liberals worship Bernie? Bernie has spent his life fighting against liberalism. Why would liberals worship him?
My bad. I was assuming that you were confusing liberals with leftists. So, which politicians do liberals worship?
How so? Which politicians do leftists worship?
Oh man, I hope you had hearing protection…
That’s certainly what your propaganda would like you to think. In reality, most of us are sick of our elected politicians and the political theatre. We don’t worship politicians the way people on the right do.
Just tell them kids in China have negative dolls. That will make them feel better!
Primary every dem who doesn’t support ranked-choice-style voting, then primary every future dem that doesn’t work to implement ranked-choice-style voting. Until we abolish the two party system, the choice will always be between a “ruling class” boot licker vs. a worse “ruling class” boot licker.
These people really are petulant children in adults bodies. If they get any amount of pushback on something, that’s the new thing they’re going to focus on. Thank you “conservatives” for giving us “leadership” that looks like this.
Good. Glad you actually voted. A lot of people parroting the ideology you’re parroting didn’t vote, thus implicitly voting for Trump. The dems lost because of a number of strategic failings but, I agree, not outright condemning the genocide in Gaza was one of them. We can blame the DNC for that, and blame the abstainers for not putting up a fight against fascism at the same time.
If that’s your take-away from the points I raised, then I don’t know what to tell you.
