Disgusting to blame the people who wouldn't vote for the party that refused to say they would stop the genocide. How about you blame Kamala Harris and the DNC for never saying they would do anything about it? At which point is it the fault of the shot callers? What you unwittingly are saying is "the Dems could of won by promising to stop genocide in Palestine and they couldn't do it"
That says a lot more about them than it does the protest voters.
I say this as someone who voted Kamala as a conscious lesser of two evils. I cannot blame anyone who decided they couldn't vote for a slower genocide
It’s a two party system. There was no reasonable third option. You either pick the better of the two, or you don’t pick either and live with the consequences.
True, but I cannot be more mad at the people who have a moral problem with participating in such a system than at the people who are actively leading it. Like, you are giving all agency to the voters and none to the parties who are also moveable, influenceable human beings. Why?
If you had a choice to vote for the lesser of two evils and you didn’t, how is that not morally repugnant? You have more blood on your hands in my view.
More than the people who couldn't say they would stop sending weapons to a genocide in order to win an election? That's a wild fucking mindset brother. Like really think about what you are saying. Holy fucking shit. You can be mad at people who didn't vote but your #1 source of anger should be directed at the DNC for being unable to even pretend they ain't ghouls for 5 seconds to win an election.
Absolutely disgusting to not vote Harris to stop this from happening.
Disgusting.
Morally repugnant.
You were warned. You knew what would happen.
You wouldn't even cast a vote to save a single Palestinian life and you're trying to claim some sort of fake moral high ground. This is on you. You are complicit in Trump's victory and all the horrible shit that's coming, because you knew what the stakes were and you thought it was more important to "teach the Democrats a lesson" than to lift a finger for the people of Gaza, of the West Bank, of Lebanon, of Ukraine, women, LGBTQ+ folk and basically anyone who isn't a millionaire.
You gave them all a massive fuck you because for some insane reason you thought that letting the genocidal maniac win would teach the Democrats that you can't win whilst arming genocide. Great logic there.
People and their families face oblivion one way or another, but your lack of empathy toward those who have nothing - but manage to lose more every day - shall surely keep you on the right side of history
I'm not sure you're replying to the post I wrote, or I just don't understand who you're talking about.
Bubby. I voted harris. But at the end of the day I cannot be more mad at millions of people for not voting when there is a few handful of people running the DNC who made the bigger mistake.
I am upset that we couldn't harm reduction this time. But at the end of the day I am MORE upset the Dems did nothing to stop the incoming train and not only that but they are in a higher position of power and there are fewer of them. Change can be made blaming the Democrats. No change, only anger can be made by blaming random people who you don't even know the voting status of.
Idk how you voted. What I do know is the DNC lost the election. That should be the focus. put your righteous and correct anger where it belongs. Into the DNC so they don't lose the next one.
