"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

It’s not hostility for being against genocide.

Bullshit.

It’s hostility for ignoring the genocide you have triggered back in the US. For people who were supposedly against genocide, you sure did help trump get elected, which made the thing you supposedly “care” about, about 100 times worse.

You just want someone to blame now that your second favorite candidate is carrying out your only policy for you. If people who don't adore everything netanyahu does weren't worth listening to, you don't get to blame us when what we tried to warn you would happen happens.

Hope your moral righteousness can stop ICE.

Your moral cowardice made this happen.

You know what made this happen is a bunch of so-called leftists who make voting for the President (or even worse, withholding their vote) their only political act.

We could change the world if we’d unite and get involved in primaries and get out and inspire and educate. But instead we sit at our computers and shitpost and laud our own supposed moral superiority and deride other leftists who are only slightly different than us while everything in the real world just gets incrementally worse and worse.

WHAT FUCKING PRIMARIES? We didn't have any last year because your shitty wing of the party decided we shouldn't have a choice. After all, we might choose someone who wasn't hell bent on wiping out Gaza like party leadershit wanted.

I'm specifically talking about EACH AND EVERY FUCKING PRIMARY. No one except a small bunch of boomers ever bothers to take part in these. You're proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries. This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

The party denying us all a choice because they prefer genocide to letting their voters choose their candidate is emblematic of a deeper issue within the party and its primary system. I can provide additional examples of the party's malfeasance during the primaries. That was just the most glaring.

This is a crisis because the party runs dishonest primaries when it deigns to run them at all.

My "moral cowardice" led me to vote for kamala because my trans sister is now fearing for her life.

I hope you can look at your Hispanic friends and tell them you have moral righteousness as they are arrested and shipped off to prison.

I voted for Harris too. but since I had the fucking temerity to criticize genocide, you've decided that I'm to blame for her losing.

Hiding behind the vulnerable minorities your party throws under the bus every chance it gets in order to justify genocide is low and shameful.
