If you voted against Harris because of her Gaza stance, or daresay... voted for Trump because you thought he'd do a better job, congratulations, you elected a candidate who probably has his head even further up Netanyahu's arse than the Biden Administration did...
You reap what you sow.
The last Hamas attack, which caused the latest outbreak of Palestinian slaughter, was set up by Hamas and Netanyahu, who has always supported Hamas, for the purposes of throwing the US election in Trumps favour.
They knew the useful idiots among the young left would ignore critical thought and straight up blame the Democrat Party. They were right.
This was obvious the moment we found out Hamas was attacking Israeli villages.
Hook, line and sinker. It’s an absolute tragedy that Palestinians were used for this to begin. It’s just as big a tragedy that the people they need support from have turned away.
Netanyahu and Trump are the enemies, not the Democrat Party. They’re getting away with it. Reading these comments here, they still are.
What? Supporting genocide cost the pro-police candidate votes? You don’t say?!?
The dissent was widely known and broadcast — they chose their line. And it will cost us decades if not generations.
yep, I think the centrists think of it as a single lost election that they can just have a do over on next cycle. Many of the dem base voters they imagine will come back are third party for life now. People take supporting genocide pretty personally. Many on here like finitebanjo and givesomefucks want to pretend the DNC dems never supported genocide. But they did, and still do. Theres no take backsies or do overs on that.
I like to point out that Democrats had anti-LGBT+ beliefs, feelings, and I'm certain passed legislation for it then started backing off when it became hot button relevant. Which is good, but they are not the innocent poster boys/girls they like to make themselves out to be.
So we're just saying things now huh
The only thing to blame for her defeat is the American republican voters who are too fucking stupid and selfish to not be complete assholes. There is always things one could have done better, not having done perfect is just reality.
Your diseased "lesser evil" dogma is how we got to the point where supporting the modern-day holocaust is framed as "not having done perfect".
Choosing the lesser of two evils is life. Welcome to it. You don't always get to choose your options and mitigating the worst is a responsibility. Trump was easily the worst, and also supports the genocide. But Republicans couldn't seem to figure that out. Apparently just like you.
Weird, I didn't choose either evil but I'm still alive.
There's not being perfect and there's supporting a genocide. She deserves the blame
So just like Trump? Harris isn't the one planning on profiting from real estate development in the gaza ffs. That's who Republicans voted for.
Doesn't really matter what happens after if the original goal is the mass murder and elimination of a culture. If I was Palestinian I would've sat out the election. Its easy to complain when no one you actually know was being bombed in an open air prison.
Americans are complaining about ICE arresting children and shooting citizens but thats been happening in Palestine for decades.
