MODERATORS
The tiny handfuls of assholes were in charge of the platform they ran.
It's also weird to say "the few supporting genocide aren't the bad ones, it's the ones that can't overlook it that are at fault".
If you keep blaming anyone's but the ones on charge, the dems will try to walk the line between us and Israel next election too, and they will lose again.
The election is over, now is when it's the time to be critical of them! Stop giving them an easy pass for the complete shitshow they pulled.
It's our jobs as voters to be informed. Being informed means understanding the impact of your vote. That's an entirely separate issue from putting pressure on politicians to do the right thing. We should be doing that, but not at the expense of destroying society, which is what's happening now.
Essentially, the only time you can put real pressure is when you vote.
i don't think abstaining was necessarily the right move, shortsighted but not immoral.
More importantly, now that it's over, bitching about the voters exercising their right over fucking genocide of all things, instead of the corrupt pieces of shit that actually forced the genocide issue is simply insane imo.
What's funny is all the absolute and complete morons that chant 'you have to vote for genocide, just ignore it next time' are the same that question how the right could vote for a convicted felon and pedo.
The fact is, the party has to change, it's not up to voters to accept genocide. The fault lies enteriely on them for making it a voting issue in the first place.
And if they don't change because half the base is ready to blame someone else, then they will lose again.
You fucking people always think you can vote third party and not fuck the country but that never has panned out
I think not voting third party is stupid. I also think abstaining is as well.
The root cause of the issue is still the Democrats platform last election and the complete alienation of their voters which led to a low turnout.
We wouldn't have Trump currently if they had just told Israel to pound sand. Killing civilians was more important then winning an election apparently. Lucky them, they have a convenient scape goat so they can do it all again in a few years
