Pro-Palestine protest votes didn't cost the Dems the election, but that a single group was not the deciding factor in a contest does not absolve them of responsibility. IE single-issue pro-Israel voters probably were not the reason for Trump's victory, but they still deserve a portion of the blame in voting for Trump.
And many of these selfsame pro-Palestine protest vote types are continuing their dumbass games even as Trump greenlights fascism both at home and abroad - like everyone fucking told them he would.
Except they didnt vote for trump and it's disgusting to pretend otherwise
Pro-Israel voters absolutely voted for Trump.
So we're discussing a tiny portion of people now to avoid being called out for the authoritarian vote bullshit now, eh?
What is that supposed to even mean?
Well at least you admit to awful reading capabilities
Bruh, I explicitly made the point of "Being a small part of the problem does not absolve people of being part of the problem", and your response is
Between the fact that we were discussing a 'tiny portion of people' from the very start and that 'authoritarian vote bullshit' is a vague phrase that makes no solid assertions except "vote bad >:(" for some reason, you've said nothing of substance unless there's some means of clarifying. I offered you a chance to clarify. You declined.
Don't really know how much more help you want here. I'm not here to spoonfeed you, guy.
Well said. I really wish people understood that blame can be shared because they really don't seem to understand that and haven't since November.
They understand. They just don't want the blame and want to shift the responsibility for their irresponsible actions to anyone but themselves.
Because the effect is the same. Sorry, again, you might finally experience what others have been.
If you think this shit is gonna be worse internally than externally; you're gonna have a bad time.
But hey, you know best right? Nobody told you what would happen before, right? They weren't all proven correct, right?
