What short memories people have. It's been decades. Since Clinton and before. It spiked in the last year. And will spike even harder now that so many actively voted for fascism like in 1980. Or railed against the achievable (you) in pursuit of unobtainable perfection. Only to predictably, as it always has been. Achieve the worst possible outcome. But denying self responsibility. That part is always present too. Otherwise people would have to learn.
Yes, I know it's been decades. We are talking about this election and what's been happening "right now". And why democrats lost it now.
The difference is very simple. A lot of people don't give a shit about Palestine, but act as if they do. They clutch their pearls when you point it out. They say things like you do, where "stop the genocide" is somehow "unobtainable perfection". Like oopsie, guess we will never change it, it's completely impossible to not be funding genocide!
Fuck that and fuck everyone who thinks that. You aren't the good guys for voting Harris, and for voting for the genocide. You aren't the good guys for voting for Trump and for voting for the genocide.
Aaaah yes. More childishness. Everyone who isn't you etc doesn't care. Yes. You'll get a lot accomplished with that BS. Like playing a part in getting a fascist elected. Muddying the waters and demotivating others with hyperbolic and false statements of "ThEy'Re ThE sAmE!" or "GeNoCiDe JoE/hArRiS!". But you're a special boy/girl. You're riteous and correct. Everything is simple black and white. You and you alone see the simple black and white solutions no one else can. We were all pretending to care when we told you that BS would be counterproductive and even backfire and that we needed solidarity till after the election.
But hey, trump is all worth it for you to keep your imagined purity and sense of superiority. Good job!
If everything isn't black and white, why isn't Biden / Harris stopping the genocide right now? To punish these bad voters that didn't vote for them?
Again, you try to be sarcastic, you try to be funny, and yet again you prove - you don't give two shits about Palestine. You say "solidarity was needed" when your policies were the ones that were being supported, and mine weren't. It is easy to say that when you get what you want you know.
Not actively abetting a genocide is unobtainable perfection? How do you people look at yourselves in the mirror?
Honestly I have no idea. It's comic book cartoonish evil, plain to see. And yet, seems like it's impossible for them to get it through their heads - votes for democrats were votes for murders to continue. Status quo isn't great when it is "let's kill all Palestinians" already. It's not "perfection". A candidate supporting it is "deplorable", not "imperfect".
Purity test i believe is the term. The bar is buried 6 feet under.
GG no RE
What part of there's no such thing as Palestinians don't you get?
While I'm sure everyone would enjoy living in the reality you imagine yourself to inhabit. Where the hell have you been. They elected an outright fascist that said Israel needs to finish the job. Who appointed an ambassador that said there's no such thing as Palestine.
Yes it was always unobtainable. This is your daily reality check. Come back to us. I'm not saying that it's not b*******, sick or disappointing. Just said it's reality and that you need to engage with it
