i can’t even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they’re not quiet now once they get called out
How does being objectively better for Palestinians than Trump make the Dems the worse of the 2 options?
And there were only 2 options. Full. Stop.
Choosing not to participate is functionally no better than voting for the worst of the 2 candidates. By choosing not to vote, all you made things worse for the Palestinians.
But hey, you get to feel superior. That self-satisfaction is worth a couple million lives, I guess.
Die hard, vote blue no matter who libs were warned for a year straight that their strategy of catering to the right and abandoning nearly all of the progressive policies from their platform would result in defeat. They were warned by leftists, they were warned by polling, and the Harris campaign was warned by their own internal advisors. Instead of listening to any of that, they ignored their advisors, said that polls were false, and told leftists to fuck themselves. They tried to gaslight people about their own material conditions, provided unflinching support for genocide, and paraded around with Liz Cheney. Then they lost, and now the country is going to get even worse because they lost.
The hubris it takes to ignore all of these warnings is unfathomable, and the willingness to risk the good of the country all for more donor money is despicable. And yet here you are, like so many others, continuing to blame people who had miniscule power to change anything and repeatedly warned you about a very predictable outcome.
But hey, you feel superior.
It’s entirely possible for both the Dems and you to be wrong. Yes, the Dems ran a bad campaign. But you also chose not to oppose Donald Trump. You don’t get a pass on tacit approval of escalating genocide, deportation of minorities, destructuon of Ukraine, war with Iran, oppression of trans and homosexuals, and the gutting of the w9rking class just because the not-fascist wasn’t progressive enough for you.
Any blame for what comes next lies with you as much as anyone else who didn’t oppose Trump. Every child who is separated from their family will be partly because of you. Every time someone does of a preventable disease because the medication has been banned by Kennedy, you’ll be complicit in the death.
I would hope it keeps you up at night, but your head is so far up your ass feeling superior you don’t give a fuck about the damage you’ve caused to the Palestinians you claim to be supporting that you don’teven know what you’ve done. You’ve uplifted the man who will authorize and celebrate the removal of Palestine from the map.
I voted for Harris against my moral principles precisely because i understand the damage that Trump will cause. I live in a state that trends blue, but I wasn’t confident enough that it would do so this time around. So you can quit with your moralizing about all the things that are now my fault because I’m angry that the party I’ve supported my entire adult life abandoned their principles and abandoned the country in favor of their own wealth and their own egos. Since I voted for her, hell yeah I have every right to blame them for their own willful errors.
Even if I had not voted for Harris, I actually do get a pass on that. The Biden, and then Harris campaigns dropped the ball and they deserve the blame. They knowingly gambled the election, and the future of the country, in favor of AIPAC and other big donor money. That’s disgusting and the blame lies on them.
