    Amazingly, nobody’s happy that the dems decided to sacrifice the whole country rather than budge on exterminating the Palestinians.

    Another day, another Lemmy post blaming leftists instead of Republicans, conservatives, racists, and their enablers.

        Do you have any facts that show it was Pro-Palestinians that failed to show up? Instead of America just wanting the reactionary populism?

      Another day, another commenter putting words into my mouth to make themselves feel better. No shit Republicans and the sycophant media are to blame, I blame them all the time. but the disingenuous “abandon harris” crowd sure didn’t help either. You’re welcome to keep ignoring context though, that’s never stopped anyone around here before.

      You vote based on the choices you’re presented, not the ones you like. Like it or not a no vote is a vote one way or another.

    Hot take: Withholding voting for either party is a valid form of protest when neither party is standing for its people.

    If they want to win the support of their constituents, its high time to change how the party is going to operate going forward.

    It’s so weird. Gaza is extremely important and deserving of the attention. It’s genocide, and it’s horrific. But is no one else important? Because we can’t save Gaza immediately, it’s really better to set outselevs on fire so we can burn together? Like, real talk, Harris will be fine. Biden will be fine. It’s our friends and neighbors who are going to be deported, harassed, laid off, homeless and scared for a minimum of four years.

    I wouldn’t say they’re gone though. I’ve been down voted, told “my kind/type” are all talk, or that I’m okay with murder, I voted for genocide, the usual. But I couldn’t sit and do nothing.

    But I guess this is what they wanted. The dems have been taught a lesson, we’re moving headfirst into a dictatorship, and Gaza is no safer, but their conscious is clear, somehow.

    90% of them were Russian/ Iranian/ Chinese/ North Korean trolls or bots. They got what they wanted, so it’s on to the next thing. Probably undermining support for Ukraine.
