Meanwhile 🦗🦗🦗🦗 from the genocide Joe caucus.
What the fuck are we supposed to say? We spent a year and a half doing everything in our power to show the dems what they need to do to have a chance to win, they chose genocide instead.
And we (informed voters) spent a year and a half painting you a very detailed picture of what was going to happen if you didn’t suck it up and do what was necessary to keep a rapist traitor out of the White House. Hell… even HE spent a year and a half telling you exactly what he was going to do.
Remember Project 2025? Yeah… that is the actual name of what’s happening right now.
Sooo……
What the fuck are we supposed to say?
Start with: “I’m sorry” and work from there. Because anything short of this is unacceptable.
The only thing that would have kept Trump out of the whitehouse was for the democrats to stop facilitating genocide.
You blue MAGA are the ones who helped them maintain the delusion they could have both their genocide and win. You helped them maintain the delusion they could have won with Biden until 5 months before the election.
LMAO your moral stand is going to literally get people murdered.
How does that feel? I think it’d feel bad.
To be honest, of all the posts I’ve seen of the shit Trump is pulling, all I’ve seen is comments complaining of the Democrats who didn’t vote. The actual story in the post…crickets. It’s unnerving when you want to actually see comments about the subject of the post and all the comments are “wwuuaahhh, you didn’t vote for Harris it’s all your fault” against people who aren’t even reading the goddamn posts. I’m sick of it!
Like…I hear you guys. I don’t fully agree but I hear you. But for fuck sakes, let it go, lets talk about the actual post instead of going on and on about the perceived injustice the Democrats have suffefed. Right or wrong, it’s done! Let it go!
Did you think that maybe it’s because we all already knew about all of this shit? So it’s not as important for us to spend time discussing it because…
WE ALREADY HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST YEAR.
Yes, I know you know. You are all very smart and sofisticated. But by being stuck on your complaining you are preventing people from discussing what really matters. In my case I see a post about the latest Trump antic, I go in with a opinion to give and eager to see other people’s insights.
But it’s all “wuahhhaaa…it’s all their fault” and the actual shit that Trump pulled takes the back seat and is buried in your moping. So I’ve mostly given up on commenting on these posts even though I agree more with you than not. Trump himself couldn’t censor me more effectively.
Your priority is being right. And since the shit that Trump does makes it easier for you to feel right then that is all you want the world to know. How right you are and how wrong the others were. And they should say “sorry” for eternity so you can feel right forever, while Trumps rapes your butt because your ego is what matters.
I want to be angry with you. But ultimately I just find it sad and depressing.
Neat!
Alright new atrocity from Israel just dropped, who should we blame:
The fascists running Israelthe fascists running the USthe democratic party who teed up the atrocity- a couple hundred leftists on lemmy who didn’t vote
Clearly it’s the leftists, they personally didn’t vote or voted third party or voted for Trump or whatever we need to say to deflect blame, and they did it in every swing state! It’s their fault, not the candidate!
It’s the Palestinian Muslim Leftists who have completely overrun our beloved liberal institutions and undermined them. These tankies are the fifth column that brought Harris’s glorious march to office down from the inside.
We clearly need to purge our companies, our schools, and our political organizations of anyone who resembles, aligns with, or appears to look like a Palestinian or a Leftist sympathizer.
We absolutely must do this in order to Beat Trump. You do want to Beat Trump, don’t you?
I sure do! So we must:
- Keep COVID-19 away from the public eye as trump wanted
- Keep Mexicans in cages like Trump wanted
- Build the wall using federal funding despite several federal laws saying we can’t, like Trump wanted
- Allow the erosion of rights for BIPOC like Trump wanted
- Allow for the removal of rights for women, like Trump wanted
- Allow for the removal of rights for trans people in red states, like Trump wanted
- Fund genocide because it’s good for my 3000 year old book, like Trump wanted
- Boast about how we’ll have the biggest military, like Trump wanted.
- And do nothing to help the population with inflated prices of housing, rent, medical needs, groceries, and say we did all we could and you should be thankful the economy is doing great, like Trump wanted!
Anything else is Dreamland! Why wouldn’t I want what Trump stans want? I want to court them so much I’ll vote for anyone who’s on the blue team, no matter how much they hate me!
I personally can’t wait for them to corralled all those men who are trans! They should be punished! They should chop off their dicks. Then I could probably get mine extended uhh 2 or 3 more inches would be totally fine.
- Vote in support of unqualified and fascist Cabinet members even when your vote doesn’t matter one bit to signal that you have absolutely no qualms with playing on Team Destroy What Little Democracy America Has
Hey does Pepperidge farms remember all the fucking morons on Lemmy urging not to vote for Harris because she was allegedly complicit in genocide? I sure as shit do.
Know what’s gonna be objectively worse, 100% regardless of the veracity those allegations? The reality that they helped forge instead.
Honestly not sure why it hasn’t been suggested that the ‘no vote’ bullshit was a tactic to get Repubs the win. Sure as hell worked and didn’t do anything to solve the issue, as we can blatantly see now.
It has, it’s been a conspiracy on lemmy for the past 6 months. Any time anyone criticized Biden or Harris for aiding a genocide someone would pop up and say they’re a secret republican or Russian bot.
If I had a nickel for every time I was called one of those, I’d have enough to flee the country from Trump.
Wasn’t the idea to get the Democrats to explicitly state they were a anti genocide and promise policies to back that up?
That was the big ask, yes.
It has, constantly. Anyone who disagrees with you folks is labelled a Russian bot who wants Trump to win. Even if they fall in line they were labelled that way, just for saying things like, “I’ll vote for Biden but his age is a legitimate concern.”
You must be unquestioning, do not question the party! You don’t wanna be one of those do you? You will vote for who we put in charge without your first amendment rights to question them!
It absolutely was. And it was pushed by tiktok, a Chinese psyop.
[citation needed]
TikTok’s algorithm exhibited pro-Republican bias during 2024 presidential race -
From an article posted very recently in Politics
…that study demonstrates how Republican talking points were more easily boosted in TikTok’s algorithm. As in: Republicans were better at getting their message across on social media.
It also doesn’t do, in any way, what was asked: citation on how it was a Chinese psyop.
The point was to pressure the Dems into giving up on genocide. You wanna talk about “pepperidge farm remembers”, I got one for ya
Remember when the Dems thought they could win while actively telling people who were anti genocide to go fuck themselves?
Hey, what’s weirder? Not voting for someone committing genocide, or being unwilling to stop committing a genocide even if it costs you the election?
How does it feel that the only thing that Harris had to do was say “I will stop weapons to Israel” and she would of won?
You can’t keep blaming the voters when the strategy was at fault. They knew they would lose votes. They thought they could court the centrists and liberal Republicans to make up for it. They were so fucking wrong. And somehow it’s not their own fault for having the worst campaign strategy known to man.
Like, Christ. Y’all ain’t ever gonna stop trying to blame leftists. You’ll be up against the wall with leftists fighting for your life and you’ll still be like “can’t believe you didn’t vote Harris”. I can’t believe Harris threw away the election over the continued genocide of palastinians. That’s fucking crazy. Is that not crazy to you? You don’t find it fucking insane that the Dems would rather a fascist state than stop actively committing a genocide? Cause that’s the fucking Gambit they ran and look where we are.
Look. I’m pissed. Your pissed. But we are just people with no power. Same with all those voters you wanna complain about. All we have is the ability to yell and vote. And while I voted for Harris out of fucking fear, I cannot blame the people who yelled “I will not vote for you if you keep committing genocide” and were fucking CALLED ON THAT SHIT. What kind of monster gambles with their own base over a fucking genocide?
Remember when the Dems thought they could win while actively telling people who were anti genocide to go fuck themselves?
I do, and was downvoted for calling it out from my last account, and this one for remembering it.
Are these people gaslit or are they doing it for their favorite political celebrities who don’t know they exist or care for them?
As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, what upsets me the most is that the numbers people have run shows that no, actually, genocide was not the deciding factor in this election, which is kind of an indictment of America itself, but regardless, I’m sick of leftists being blamed when all the ones I know STILL voted Harris and the data shows that it wasn’t leftist that didn’t turn out, it was centrists. Harris didn’t have a voter base. Sure, some dems turned out, but she didn’t actually inspire people to vote, and that’s basically the only way dems win.
Why blame the politicians with data and statistics on how to run a campaign when you can blame the voters who showed up?
How many times do we have to “swallow our pride” to vote for milquetoast candidates before we can have change? How many times do I have to vote for “nothing will fundamentally change” before I can call bullshit?
This exactly. Honestly, the thing I hate most about the republicans isn’t even who they are, it’s who they’ve made us. I’ve compromised on my morals more than I can count just to still be ruled by fascists. I wish I could at least have arrived here on a high horse lmaoooo.
Republicans are obviously fucking evil. They smile as they pass laws that enable the worst parts of the government to be even worse. And then say it’s because of the woke or some shit.
And then democrats just… Allow it. They then go “our compromise was that we allowed 2% less people to die from this bill being passed. So only 500K will die from this, instead of 501K.”
And it’s obviously better by numbers, but that’s all they want. Pure data. They don’t care about the optics of actually trying to stop republicans, they want the look of it.
They don’t want to stop aiding genocide, pretending they care about BIPOC as they say to bipartisan applause “We need to fund the police!” as they kneel for a photo.
But pass a law that says “Police should obey the laws they enforce” is impossible for them, somehow, no matter how many votes they get.
I’ve been swindled too many times. Republicans are obvious in that they hate me. Democrats act like a friend and then ghost you.
Wish I had more to add, but you definitely covered it all. It’s just gross. I know fascists win when we disengage, but dems have been teeing this up for them to knock out of the park for decades. I just wish you and yours the best and I hope you’re safe and able to make it through.
I wish you luck too. The average person isn’t my enemy, it’s the ones in power who enabled the evil, and the ones doing the evil.
