How is spending another 4 years at brunch while Gaza is turned into a parking lot suddenly fighting fascism? Democrats would be vindicated in their genocidal behavior and act like they were just savvy and correct.
You seem really fixated with painting yourself as an anti-fascist, while simultaneously attempting to browbeat people into voting for the Democrats, while they were openly participating in a genocide.
Having four years to fight against that mentality is a hell of a lot fucking better than turning Gaza into a parking lot now.
But like I said, you have the same mentality as the fascist ghouls you so eagerly enable - we're all going to die - so why not now?
I've been following the Israel-Palestine situation and US public opinion on it for as long as I've been political - ie as long as I've been in double-digits. US public opinion on Israel hasn't changed in a fucking decade of genocide, and not for three decades of genocide before that. The post-2023 situation was the first major shift in US public opinion on Israel in my fucking lifetime, and instead of trying to make the most of the shift, which was largely Dems voters shifting to 'qualified support' instead of 'unqualified support' purity-testing leftists, in the literal millions, decided to toss the election to the most pro-Israel ghoul America has ever had.
You had an opportunity to decouple the US from Israel. Instead, you decided to hand over the US to a fascist regime which will do anything for Israel. Great job.
Yes, under the same principles as WW2. I would probably be telling people that supporting the British Empire or the USA or the Soviet Union was non-negotiable despite all being imperialist genocidal states. But at least you would've had the smug satisfaction of declaring both sides were just as bad as the Nazis herded us into camps. You would've been the only TRUE anti-fascist of the lot, putting your thumb up your ass and refusing even the merest, most meager assistance to so-called 'anti-fascist' forces. :)
Trust me, my vote had zero impact on the election. Biden kicked more people off Medicaid than the number Kamala lost by, by like an order of magnitude. 25 mil unenrolled from Medicaid by "ending" COVID
It seems like a bit of a sideshow to be blaming leftists when the people doing the most damage to electoral Democrats were Joe Biden and his co-conspirators.
The only people tossing the election to the the fascists were the people literally in power at the time who decided that it was more important to protect Israel and "nothing will fundamentally change" than winning an election.
I support a popular front, it's why I am fine working with Marxists as an anarchist. Democrat politicians are not anti-fascist, at best they are collaborators, at worst active participants. Most Democrat voters who I run into in daily life are considerably less ride-or-die for Israel than their politicians.
I don't think that I will ever stop being amazed by Democrats blaming the people who voted against genocide, rather than blaming the party that chose to hand the election to Trump in order to continue genocide.
"Biden kicked off more people"
[the article literally outlines the Biden adminstration's attempts to stop Medicaid disenrolment by the states]
But hey, reading your own sources is a little too much effort! I mean, if you put in that kind of effort, what would be next? Voting AGAINST Nazis? Perish the thought!
Golly gee, I wonder why I might blame people who opted to let literal Nazis win in order to worsened a genocide they supposedly oppose??
It must be some kind of sideshow, just a paltry two million or so votes, nothing that would swing an election, lol
How is an election won, by the way?
Is it by the performance of the parties locked in aristocratic struggle with one another?
... or is it by the votes of the electorate?
You don't have to answer, I know it makes you uncomfortable to think about how voters might have a responsibility to prevent literal Nazis.
So exactly as I said - you'd sit with your thumb up your ass and let the Nazis genocide everyone they wanted, because opposing Nazis is too much of a burden on your poor wittle soul.
yeah because they'll spin anything, Biden was fucking president he could have just said "oh no there's actually still COVID, keep everyone on medicaid"
The people who were in power are the only ones to blame for their own loss. You are a cynical operator though, so keep on blaming everyone except those losers. Maybe it will work one of these times.
If you don't do heinous evil shit maybe people will vote for you. simple as. The Biden/Harris admin decided that levelling Gaza was more important than winning.
weirdly sexual comment but ok
once more, this is on the Democrats for their incompetent governance. They refused to do anything meaningful to stop Israel, refused to do anything slightly meaningful economically because the parliamentarian said no, and we all get to pay the price.
Holy fucking shit.
This is a Republican level take on the powers of the President. Fox News level understanding of civics. Christ.
"The people in power weren't entertaining enough for me to vote against murdering minorities!"
Bravo.
Apparently not, considering who you lot decided to elevate to power!
Sitting with your thumb up your ass is a common idiom. Like, you know, 'touch grass'.
I love that I say you wouldn't have opposed the Nazis in WW2 because the Allies were all imperfect, and your only response is "Well, the Dems are REALLY imperfect!"
So literally affirming my accusation. Jesus Christ.
