Dear everyone who refused to vote: I hope you're happy! Really helping out the Israel-Palestine situation right now. You did this. Look at your crime against humanity and despair.
Dear Harris: You could have singlehandedly prevented this.
I'm playing both sides, so that I always come out on top.
ITT: "How could third party voters do this? I have learned nothing."
Disgusting to blame the people who wouldn't vote for the party that refused to say they would stop the genocide. How about you blame Kamala Harris and the DNC for never saying they would do anything about it? At which point is it the fault of the shot callers? What you unwittingly are saying is "the Dems could of won by promising to stop genocide in Palestine and they couldn't do it"
That says a lot more about them than it does the protest voters.
I say this as someone who voted Kamala as a conscious lesser of two evils. I cannot blame anyone who decided they couldn't vote for a slower genocide
It’s a two party system. There was no reasonable third option. You either pick the better of the two, or you don’t pick either and live with the consequences.
True, but I cannot be more mad at the people who have a moral problem with participating in such a system than at the people who are actively leading it. Like, you are giving all agency to the voters and none to the parties who are also moveable, influenceable human beings. Why?
Take your bow protest voters… we fucking told you this would happen.
This is ALL on you.
Good work Pro-Palestinian voters, you screwed your own people.
By the way, the US military will most likely gear up for a war against Iran. Yep, orders from Riyadh and Tel Aviv for another 20 year shit hitting the fan adventure doomed to fail.
How about good work democrats for not actively opposing the genocide? Like, why are you so quick to blame anyone but the shot callers, playmakers and plan writers? Genuinely.
Is turbo-genocide somehow better than regular old genocide?
I think my comment has been misinterpreted. Op said "good job" sarcastically. I too am using "good job" sarcastically. The Dems are the shot callers and play makers I am talking about. The ones deserving of blame due to their utter inability to denounce a genocide and instead promising to continue arming it.
The election wasn't decided by voters who cared about Palestine, I don't think.
Honey, why is there a leopard at the door?
AMA request: Anyone who voted for Jill Stein or Trump because Kamala wasn't hard enough on Israel.
In theory it was mostly people not voting for Harris (or anyone). In most cases here, anyway. Supposedly.
