Why do you think the turnout was so low? Millions of idiots were pressuring people to withhold their vote over Palestine in a colossal self-fuck. That is if you assume these people spreading that are really that stupid. Some were, but I think a large percentage were paid trolls. And their campaigning worked. Russia owns the United States now
Another contributor to low turnout was massive voter suppression. It'd be interesting to see that quantified. Hundreds of thousands of voters were being purged in each of several states. The single-issue Gaza vote was lost in the noise of those gross examples of electoral manipulation.
I'm sure you're right. It's hard to know where to focus the blame most, but I am livid that this country is worse than my worst fears. On a certain level I am losing any desire to even care specifically how/why. I wouldn't have considered not voting before this but now I honestly am 99.9% of the way to saying fuck it all.
I see, so in order to save "democracy" people should have supported Genocide.
Honeslty maybe the Democrats should have seen this coming to themselves for supporting, and I will repeat it once more in case you don't understand, GENOCIDE.
Imagine voting for 100% Hitler because another guy could be 150% Hitler.
You've saved them all with your very logical and ethical defense. Bulletproof. Definitely not the case that you helped the slaughter intensify.
So by your logic, in Nazi Germany, you would have supported Hitler if there was another guy that was even worse than him ?
Do you even have a red line or can politicians just screw you over indefinitely for as long as there is someone worse !?
Also if the Democrats really wanted to win this elections, they would have run a different candidate that the one that is supervising Gaza right now !
You can also go back and see that people said in a lot of pools that they saw the economy as a big issue for them. If the average person in America sees that their economic situation is getting worse with Biden and wants change, you don't run his VP for president !
The Democrats don't care about you and they don't care about winning. They are funded by the same billioners that fund the Republicans. They just want to kill minorities and cut taxes for the rich as much as Republicans but they don't say it as clearly.
The Democrats are just controlled opposition that takes away votes from the non-fascist parties in the US.
By your logic, you would sit on a high horse while claiming to care about someone murdered in front of you. Wait, shit, that's what you actually did. Blocking you now, thanks for the block request.
Apparently sacrificing all Palestinians is not a red line for you and the Democratic party cannot be held accountable for what it is doing right now.
Honestly you are just a fascist. No other word is needed to describe you.
Leftists have to sacrifice everything and agree to fascism so your favorite fascist party of choise doesn't loose. This time around it didn't work, the other fascist party won, tough luck.
Only 10% of the electorate even cared about Gaza. You're giving the American people entirely too much credit.
I don't know what point you think you're making, but after yesterday I give the American people zero credit. Millions of voters stayed home pretending it was about gaza. It's not my job to psychoanalyze them but I do know their actions contradicted their stated goal and that makes them frauds.
Yeah there are only so many times Biden can go "hey isreal, you'd better stop that genocide or else!" While doing nothing whatsoever and even giving them the weapons to continue the genocide before people go "well they aren't going to do a damn thing about this"
and that's why I voted trump! /s
I'm not supporting that idea nor voter apathy. But i can certainly understand why Kamala lost Michigan, Dearborn has the largest muslim population in the country. I can understand why so many people there might be apathetic or uninterested in voting for a party that has put forth no pushback or even plans to stop an ongoing genocide against people of their faith.
Again, Trump will absolutely be far worse by just greenlighting isreal.
The aim of a genocide is the same whether there’s someone with a blue tie approving it or a red tie approving it. Israel wants to displace or kill every Palestinian and break their culture and heritage.
That’s what genocide is. You can’t get worse than that, and that’s what’s happening.
Something every human had the means to see coming. They just either didn't care or plugged their eyes and ears to it.
I'm not disagreeing with you. All I'm saying is that I understand why say a Palistinian American might be adverse to voting for the side actively faning the flames to a genocide including their own family members. I can imagine waking up and being told you should vote for the side that supplied the bombs that exploded half your family and going "why? So the other half can also get bombed? My whole family is going to die either way" and that being their rational for not voting.
Wh vote for the side that didn’t interfere when someone else bombed your family, when you can help elect someone who will encourage them to bomb every living relative too
Do you feel better up on your high horse?
JFC. What is with you people? I don't understand what you want from me. I voted blue straight down ballot in a swing state and I yelled at my lefty friends to do the same.
All I am saying and have been saying is I understand why people whose friends and family are being exterminated might not want to vote for team actively arming the people commiting a genocide.
Hell, theres another post right now on lefty memes about how the harris team knew saying they'd stop arming isreal would give them a jump in the polls.
Just stop being so smug about it. Now is not the time
It wasn't the time before we lost either.
Saying you understand why something happened isn't being smug or in any way happy about the outcome.
Stop externalizing your poor mental state and take a break from the internet or something.
Maybe you can take some of that empathy for people who straight didn't care enough to fucking vote and redirect a little of it toward people who rightly care about what's just happened.
I'm not saying I told you so, but I understand why people are saying I told you so.
That's how you sounded
To you.
and me
Sure, OK. But it's not a universal observation. Leaving off "to me" makes it so. That commenter didn't sound that way to me. See how that works?
People are allowed to state their opinions. It's often up to people to intuit cases of obvious opinion and we know whose opinion it is by observing who is speaking. See how that works?
Fair point! So which part of my reply to the other commenter was incorrect?
Yep! Why didn't they vote ?! Why didn't they choose the genocide eneblers, it's only been 1 yearsince it started!! Those abstinent peaple are surely responsible for what Trump gonna do. But the Kamalla voters aren't responcible for it. They are the right choise !!!
Sounds like you would've proudly watched the Palestinians be slaughtered, knowing you could've helped, but would relish the fact that you did not.
🎶 Put The Blame on Me Boy, Put The Blame on Me Boy 🎶 (i know i change the lirics a bit), Not the fault of the Dems funded by the Israely gov, they just rather get their money plein and simple. And God forbid never change your mindset.
People with your simplistic fraudulent attitude just elected trump so you don't get to ever lecture anyone about morality again
It can't possibly be because that's a real concern. They had to be paid actors. You sound like Infowars after a school shooting.
yeah because cambridge analytica was also a hoax
Are you seriously comparing a fucking genocide to an info op?
Go away, person who purposely helped Trump.
You still don't get it do you? Blaming the people you need to persuade is not a winning strategy. They aren't going to magically like you suddenly.
Holding people accountable for their actions that affect you is an entirely just and necessary thing to do.
What's the point in playing nice with somebody who won't engage in good faith?
Exposing them for others to see.
Ah yes what a morally repugnant person I am for recognizing that Russia literally has been paying people to spread misinformation. I believe that fact so that means I'm evil.
In their own words, "facts don't care about your feelings".
America is a lost cause and you're an example of that
