Doesn't matter. Sitting Democrats don't care about the Palestinians. We all saw the delays and empty promises to do anything at all. And the Democrats really didn't have much else of a platform to offer. That is why dem voters didn't show up.

Someone better pick up that phone, because I fucking called it.

I'm just gonna keep hammering this in for a while. 81 million Democrats voted in 2020, but only 71 million this year. Trump won by 3.5 million. But hey, at least all you righteous little angels aren't "complicit in genocide", right? Think about that while you polish your halos. YOU did this.

"My purity is a precious delicate flower, I'm not going to soil it by voting for Democrats. Palestinians can take comfort in that!"

"Why can't my politicians mesmerize me every day? I don't want no competent government nerds in Washington, I need to be mesmerized every day to muster up the precious energy to go and vote!"

I will never, EVER overestimate or respect the younger generations, who can vote and won't. They have now shown themselves to be as ignorant stupid and heartless and fickle and impatient and lazy as medieval peasants.

They are just as fucked up as their baby boomer parents or grandparents who gave Reagan and his cadre of assholes the keys to the kingdom.

How are you sure that all the missing votes are caused by Pro-Palestinian purity non-voters?

I linked this higher in this thread, but I need everyone to watch Jon Stewart's post-mortem on Harris' campaign. Like y'all are blaming EVERYTHING on pro-Palestinians, while not even acknowledging the republican-lite ads and interviews the Democrats ran coinciding with a bunch of pro-corporate consultants that joined her campaign in September. Or the fact that a segment of the population doesn't like Trump, but is also racist/sexist enough to not want a black woman as president either.

Lemmy thinks they're smarter than the MAGA crowd, but fall for neoliberal corporate sponsored propaganda instead. First it was hispanic men, then it was Gen Z, now it's Palestine supporters. Meanwhile 57% of white people as a demographic voted for Trump, and MSNBC nor Fox News has nothing to say about that.

What is your point though, are you saying Trump and Harris are equivalent?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Of course I'm not. And if you watched Jon Stewart's segment I linked you would understand exactly why "Trump is worse so vote Harris" doesn't work as a gotcha.

And I voted for her, too, before you bring that up as well.

I love how you said "complicit in genocide" unironically.

Really shows low standards have fallen for Democrats.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Denotes sarcasm. Trump et al. Will increase the genocide instead of having a shot at stopping it. They are still complicit in genocide, more so, arguably

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Absolutely more so, not voting against Trump was morally reprehensible because of what he will do to Gaza as well as people here

The Dems could have forced a ceasefire. The Muslim contingent warned them months ago and polling very clear showed that a ceasefire would have likely changed the result in several critical swing states.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh bullshit. The only way to get a ceasefire is for the Israeli people to force out Netanyahu. Nothing short of that or invading would make a difference.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

eh. kinda missing the point. they didn't even try and the polling was clear-- this policy would lose the Dems the election.

Also, South African dock workers have managed to organize and block the transfer of Israeli military goods through their ports. You telling me that South African port workers are more capable of following international law than the Us government? well, fuck it, how do I vote for them then?
