Misner said it was a difficult decision to vote for Trump. He said the point of the Abandon Harris campaign was to punish the Democrats for supporting Israel during its war in Gaza, which the campaigners view as a genocide, and he hopes the Trump campaign will be more willing to negotiate with group leaders.

Vindication feels awful here, honestly.

“I think the biggest problem is that your messaging to Arab Americans can’t just be ‘Trump’s a fascist, Trump is Hitler. Big, scary orange man, vote for me.’ Part of being a part of the American political system is being able to separate yourself from your opponent and lay out a better vision. And she did not do that,” Abdelrahman said.

1. Negative messaging works, as much as people like to pretend it doesn't.

2. If you saw a literal fascist openly declaring fascist things, and your response to the milquetoast opposition is "Well, you're not seperated enough, stylistically", you're not much more than a fascist enabler.

3. In what fucking way is "Not fascism" not a better vision than "Literal fucking fascism"?

“She could have at least called for a ceasefire,” Khan said. (Harris repeatedly called for a ceasefire during her campaign, including during her Democratic convention speech.)

Ah, it's just like being on Lemmy!

“Even in politics, humanity should be the first and the foremost thing to to be respected, to be valued, right? And [the] Democratic Party clearly, clearly, for an entire year showed us they do not care about human life,” Khan said. “They do not care about their constituents, how they feel about the massacre.”

Ah, yes, humanity is the first and foremost thing to be respected, which is why LGBT Americans have been served to fascists on a silver platter as a protest vote. Peak humanity.

“He at least, at least came and spoke to the Muslims. He heard them and said, ‘OK, I will finish. I will end the war in Middle East,’ even if he didn’t say, you know, a genocide, but he said he will bring peace,” she said. “And that’s what the people wanted to hear, and that’s why he got the votes.”

He's going to "end it" by rushing it to its conclusion you morons! Holy fuck! 🤦‍♂️

And find themselves without fault?

at the end of the day Democrats had their check writers to think about which is why they intentionally lost

Harris consistently had wins handed to her on gold platters and Harris repeatedly stuck her nose up at the platters

Democrats are not the party of the people or progressives but just Republicans with different coat colors on getting checks from the same places

Elabed decided not to vote at the top of the ticket this year and focused instead on downballot races.

Elabed said she feels crushed by the reality of four years of the Trump administration’s policies toward Israel

You saved Palestine 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

This is America. I’m dumbfounded by the decision making skills we have, collectively.

Hey, maybe in 2028 the Dem candidate can run on repealing the national abortion ban. That feels like more than saying, "I WON'T enact a national abortion ban". Yayyyy /s

"Just lie to us at least". Fuck me...

I need anyone involved with these write "I will not enable a greater evil through my inaction" 69 times on a chalkboard

What you've done is basically said "I wanted steak for dinner, and got chicken, so I just forced everyone to snort draino instead!"
