Meanwhile democrats now:
Ooooh! I supposed that makes this timeline SO much better than how things would be under Kamala.
Thanks for the perspective, bud!
You have no moral leg to stand on. Barely any noticeable difference between you and Trump/MAGA in how you view Palestinians as subhuman.
Yawn….
Morality bores centrists.
In the Kamala timeline, Israel keeps genociding the Palestinians while the democrats try to do a lot of mental gymnastics to try to paint it as a good thing
Bro trumps team literally made a shitty AI generated "we're going to raze Gaza and build a gold plated hotel here" commercial. If that's not "mental gymnastics to paint genocide as a good thing" idk what to say to you.
Also a bad thing.
Not sure why the moment you criticize democrats they assume you support the other side
Cool we both agree it's bad, now can we agree that the dems plans of "ok i guess we'll slightly slow down the shipment of weapons to Israel but still honor the preexisting treaties we made with them" is not the same as "we're going to send even more weapons and turn the Gaza Strip into a gilded Trumpland."
As for why people come out when people people criticize dems who else can even remotely get elected into the presidency? Jill "rubs shoulders with Putin at a fancy dinner" Stein of the deeply unserious "we're only going to run one candidate for presidency and nowhere else, it's not like Congress has to pass legislation and the House controls the budget" Green Party? Lmao that's a good joke.
Whatever "imma deregulated everything and abolish age of consent" joke of a candidate of the libertarians? Lmao the solution to our problems with capitalism is even more capitalism!
The nonexistent leftist party and their imaginary radical leftist candidate who idolized Stalin a bit too much? The jokes keep coming.
Edit: The comment I replied to was removed, so my sarcasm seems out of place without context. I have removed that reply.
I will instead say this: before the election I complained that there was no viable anti-genocide voting option, and before I got downvoted into oblivion I was told "well, you can't get everything you want in politics". I held my nose and voted Harris, thinking maybe the democrats could be pressured.
Well here we are. The whole fuckin thing makes me want to cry.
And this is why democrats lost and will keep losing.
They can't be criticized or get called out for supporting a genocide.
It is the bare minimum. They can't even do that. They want unconditional support and loyalty, but won't put any effort into accomplishing anything.
Damn you show up in every single Palestine post to stan for Genocide Joe.
No idea why he loves blood so much, dude can't get enough of being smug watching it flow in Gaza.
And you show up in every political post saying dumb shit like “genocide Joe.”
Genocide Joe's bootlicker is hurt...
We show up in every Palestine post because we got constant verbal abuse from you people throughout the election cycle because we wanted to avoid the thing you just posted
The genocide which was perpetrated by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris which you fully condoned?
I like how you saw me refer to "the thing you just posted," which is about a genocide that Trump is helping to perpetrate, and you still can't let go of the idea that this is all Genocide Joe's fault
And no, I don't condone it. I just understand that the lesser of two evils is, in fact, preferable to the greater.
As a non american it disgust me how you make it about american politics. Genocide was happening before trump was in office, no amount of virtue signalling will change that. But go on keep thinking the whole world revolve around what happens in your shithole.
Do you not know that the thread you’re currently commenting in is specifically about an American president?
This would mean that as a topic, American politics would be right within the wheelhouse of the discussion. And for the record, the conflict in Palestine was going on for decades before you ever knew wheee it was on a map.
My point being that no matter who is the American president this genocide is happening. So quit bringing the discussion to you. And for the record it was going on for decades before i was even born, but i still don't see how that would make it relevant to make it about americans and whoever is running their country.
I didn't make it about US politics, the post did when it brought up the US president
Since you are changing the goal post I will bring it back to the original intent.
You are a hypocrite that spews tankie ampliganda - Genocide Joe. You have used the suffering of Gaza for a political agenda.
Fascist play with empathy, change goal posts, and gaslight.
You are one.
centrists are just happy that at no point did they have to reconsider their loving support for genocide.
Oh look! Here’s one now!
You're just mad that trump is implementing your only policy.
…. Says the guy that somehow seems to think we’re better off with Trump than with Kamala.
We're not better off under trump. I voted for harris.
I get that you imagine all opposition to the genocide that gives your life meaning must come from trumpists, but some people actually find genocide support to be repulsive.
Wait, you voted for Harris?
That’s right! You also support genocide! I forgot about that. Because all who support Harris are genocide supporters! I remember you saying that.
You can vote for harris without approving of her genocide support. I mean, you didn't. You support genocide under all circumstances.
You can also oppose genocide without being a trumper, which you also can't seem to grasp.
Condescension isn't making your unconditional genocide support any less morally reprehensible.
It is possible to vote for harris without supporting genocide. Unless everyone that told me so during the primaries was just lying to get votes for their genocide. Which I guess would be in keeping with everything centrists are.
Repeating your condescension doesn't make your singleminded devotion to the eradication of all Palestinians any better.
Do you see yourself in the mirror?
Voting and support are two different words for a reason.
For what?
Sleepy joe dropping bombs again from ~~hunters~~ netanyahoos laptop
Trump is continuing democrat policy on Gaza, so yes, just another obvious proof that they are two sides of the same coin.
