So let me get this straight:
The Democratic Party snubs the left— even the progressives. They court the right wing, parading the Cheneys around.
The democrats lose.
The rightwing voters get riled up by the mask-off hatred, while their politicians straight up lie to Muslims and Latino people, winning some of their votes.
The democrats lose ground across the board. Their entire turnout was depressed. No matter how many times they learned their views were losing them votes, they refuse to budge on the issues they were undoubtedly wrong about. The fuckin meme says “we didn’t vote for genocide!!!” We can all agree voting…for genocide is…bad, right?
And you’re blaming the people who were ignored and told once again to go fuck themselves? Because they couldn’t stomach voting for people publicly and unflinchingly supporting the genocide.
Not the lying fascists, not the losing party for being told they were going to fail and still failing?
This is exactly how you continue to fail and lose to fascists.
And im telling you right now. History won’t look back and say “those fools! They didn’t vote because of a teensy little genocide!” They will say “all of those people stood by while a holocaust was happening.”
Not a doubt in my mind.
This is your brain on the two party system. His team lost, but it can’t be his teams fault because it’s his team, you see?
So someone is voting tactically because they’re acknowledging the consequences of a FPTP voting system. And you point at the butterfly and ask “is that tribalism?”
Yes, you’re an idiot for voting tactically instead of telling harris and the DNC to fuck off with genocide and shitty economic policies. We’ve covered this many times but you’re adament that your way (which lost btw) is still correct.
The party of self reflection 😂
when do we mention that this exact phenomenon is what happened globally across the world and is probably irrelevant to both politics and parties representing them?
How did letting Trump win help to end genocide? In what way does having an administration that literally says Palestine shouldn’t exist and Israel should finish the job and kill all the Palestinians inprove the situation?
When there’s a fire, something should be done about it, absolutely. But allowing Trump to wind the Presidency is adding gasoline, wind, and dynamite to the Palestinian fire while also unleashing firebombs on Iran and murdering the fire brigade in Ukraine.
How do you reconcile allowing all this death with your principles?
Yes you should ask yourself and harris/dnc how letting trump win by campaigning on a genocide and shitty economy policies was a good idea.
How does being objectively better for Palestinians than Trump make the Dems the worse of the 2 options?
And there were only 2 options. Full. Stop.
Choosing not to participate is functionally no better than voting for the worst of the 2 candidates. By choosing not to vote, all you made things worse for the Palestinians.
But hey, you get to feel superior. That self-satisfaction is worth a couple million lives, I guess.
Die hard, vote blue no matter who libs were warned for a year straight that their strategy of catering to the right and abandoning nearly all of the progressive policies from their platform would result in defeat. They were warned by leftists, they were warned by polling, and the Harris campaign was warned by their own internal advisors. Instead of listening to any of that, they ignored their advisors, said that polls were false, and told leftists to fuck themselves. They tried to gaslight people about their own material conditions, provided unflinching support for genocide, and paraded around with Liz Cheney. Then they lost, and now the country is going to get even worse because they lost.
The hubris it takes to ignore all of these warnings is unfathomable, and the willingness to risk the good of the country all for more donor money is despicable. And yet here you are, like so many others, continuing to blame people who had miniscule power to change anything and repeatedly warned you about a very predictable outcome.
But hey, you feel superior.

Yes. The Dems had a shitty, evil policy on Gaza. But the Republican policy is worse on Gaza and everything else.
But you motherfuckers decided sending a message to the Dems was more important than Gaza or the rest of the world, and now we’re about to have vaccines and milk outlawed, Ukraine will be taken over by Russia, Concentration Camps will be set up for anyone with slightly brown skin, and more.
Oh - and Israel will literally kill every Palestinian in Gaza will fully-erect support from Trump and his goons, some of whom are literally trying to bring about the end of the world by eliminating Palestine and returning the Temple to Israel, which is an important part of their Armageddon prophesies.
I propose an omni-genocide.
Instead of killing one ethnic or religious groups, we kill ALL of them. Well, all but one.
We will start by selecting a single ethnic group out of a hat. (And I promise it will be fair, truly random.) We select a single ethnicity out of a hat.
Everyone else goes to the camps. We’re talking 95%+ of the human population here.
Yes, the death toll will be horrific. But I assure you, it will be for the greater good. Think of how many people down the ages have been killed due to racial prejudice. Think of how many wars have been fought over ethnicity or race. We have a long and bloody history with racism, and this will continue in the future.
However, you can’t have racism without racial diversity! So by killing everyone except one randomly selected ethic group, we will completely eliminate racism of all forms. Yes, we sacrifice 7+ billion people now, but in exchange, we eliminate all deaths from racism, from now until the end of time! We’re talking trillions, perhaps quadrillions of lives saved! All it will take is the sacrifice of a few billion.
From a purely utilitarian perspective, you should support my omni-genocide.
