Hey Kamala, just say Genocide bad ... just once, you don't even need to action it, we all know politicians lie as easily as breath. Just once and you make history.
The walking special K ad throwing salutes is the result of protest votes not the continuing genocide. Palestine would burn under either administration.
Maybe, maybe not, but either way now we have a situation where anyone who's not a white+male+cis+het+christian just got a big target painted on them in no small part due to those protest votes and the push to have democrats stay home.
Democrats didn't stay home, that's pure cope. They failed to swing undecided voters.
I totally agree that voting in your broken system is just harm reduction at best; but Kamala could have walked it in if that was the goal.
Are you not a US voter?
Oops.
Netanyahu wanted Trump to win, that should tell you ALL you needed to know
Exactly what freaked me out in the later months of 2023. He wanted to tank Biden, the guy sending billions, because the next guy would be worse.
Yet Biden continued to put Israel over America...
And Kamala pledged to be the same as Biden.
So why aren't you blaming them for continuing to support a genocide even though literally every poll said it was going to get trump elected?
Well many did, but acknowledged a trump presidency would be worse.
At worst, on the topic of Israel it was a net equal position. Time will tell if trump is even worse than Biden on Israel. (I personally expect so, as Biden wanted status quo, trump wants American invested condos in gaza once it's "cleared out")
Yet Netanyahu continued to publicly and explicitly support Trump...
And didn't cop out with a "I have no opinion on the matter", as he would have if it didn't matter, like you say
And I'd call him an idiot for it, because I couldn't and still can't understand why Biden and Kamala put up with it.
Like, Bibi is an asshole. trump is an asshole.
No one is debating that.
But Biden and Kamala either couldn't see that, or understood that and for some reason kept supporting Bibi and his genocide.
They were Charlie Brown lining up to kick the football over and over again. Except this time with Lucy openly saying she'd yank the ball and calling Charlie an idiot for continuing to try.
"Palestine wasn't important enough to throw the election to literal fascists who will ensure that there's a genocide both here and in Israel, so don't be mad at Palestine protest voters!" + "Palestine was the issue which threw the election, if only the LIBS had listened to us!"
There is simply no contradiction there. Supporting fascism and genocide cost Dems the election. Their ideology wasn't different enough from Trump to offer anything of value.
Harris, you might remember, proposed and supported border legislation that is still further right wing than what Trump has implemented or has stated he's planned on implementing.
So , like always, the problem is made worse because single issue voters lack the mental capacity to think about more than one thing at a time.
I hate how people see a single criticism about the topic at hand and claim that's all someone has issues with...
Like, it just makes no rationale sense, and when someone does start listing multiple reasons, they get screeched at because it's off topic.
I just legitimately don't understand how people don't understand and legitimately believe what you just said...
But here we are again.
Numerous people on here openly said that genocide was the 'one issue' stopping them, supposedly, from voting Dem.
You've been active on here. You've seen them. Don't play stupid.
EDIT: Holy fuck, you are in another thread right now arguing in favor of those same single-issue voters, but denying them here. Jesus fucking Christ.
His username givesomefucks is an oxymoron
If you think the Dems were only a bad choice on a single issue then you might be interested in this bridge I have for sale.
Yeah, and the last several days hasn't told us anything about how different things would have been.
Fucking delusional...
The delusional ones are still dreaming about how different things might have been if they turned out differently.
The clear-eyed ones have been preparing to run, hide, or fight since long before November.
