yeah, zero interest in supporting kamala "keep arming isreal" fucking harris again.
Yeah Trump was definitely better choice for this. Thank God we got Trump eh
Can they put forward a candidate who doesn't want to play an active role in arming a genocide? Is that just too much to ask? Genuinely asking, cause it kind of sounds like that's what youre trying to say. 2024 election is done, it's over. This is about what comes next.
No they won't oppose genocide. They oppose their own voters instead.
Pain, suffering, loss of rights, and death because a bunch of dumb assholes stayed home or voted 3rd party instead of accepting that voting Harris was infinitely more responsible and better for our nation than staying home or voting 3rd party?
No, the pain, suffering loss of rights and death were because the DNC decided that continuing a genocide was more important than winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we've ever had.
Maybe next time they should pick a candidate that the people actually want.
So you're blaming the voters for not supporting genocide? And you absolve the people who actually support genocide?
Thanks for ignoring my whole comment. If you're defeatist, you've decided that it's all over, then stay out of the conversation. Your genocide defending commentary is not required or requested. If you're not done, you're not defeatist then demand that your political party do better.
Two genocidal candidates -> Fascism
What else did you expect?
How's that working out for you?
Harris could've eased Israel. Trump is capitulating 1000%. Gaza will be an ash pile in a year.
Thank fuck you didn't vote for Harris lmao. What a load of single-issue dogshit.
Harris would not have eased Israel, she herself said as much.
This comment isn't about the 2024 election, it's about the next one. Can the DNC not provide a candidate who refuses to arm a military committing genocide?
What next one? The vote will either be stolen again or so stacked in the right's favor that it won't matter what anyone does.
I mean I mostly agree. The subject of the post is the possible candidate of a 2028 election.
Politics may be too nuanced for you, I guess.
Mm. Very America centric of you to believe that no one should care if America commits or supports genocide in other countries.
When will you people learn "fuck you, accept this candidate or else" doesn't work? You can't blackmail and extort your constituents.
Hey, I'd like to introduce you to shades of gray. I live in California. I in fact, can protest vote. Because guess what? We still majorily vote blue no matter fucking what. So what now? How am I complicit when my state voted for Kamala?
This is such a tired bullshit argument. You just want someone to be angry at. You're no different than a MAGA with your lack of logic.
You spread the message around the time of the election, you're complicit in getting others to opt out of voting. One of your votes is meaningless. All of your votes could've turned the tide.
Not deciding is a choice.
Don't worry, you'll still have to live with the consequences. Congrats!
Again, how exactly did my vote in California, that in the end voted for Kamala, help trump AT ALL.
It didn't and you're just full of shit. Literally all that would happen, if let's say I voted 10000 times illegally, is that Kamala would have still lost. I could have convinced all of California to vote blue and... checks notes Kamala still would have lost, but the popular vote would have been even more depressing.
You just want to be mad at someone instead of any sort of self reflection. You're a leftist MAGA.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
...And the choice you make is to opt out. "Opt out" is one of the choices.
Dude was quoting a Rush song buddy.... As much as I hate memes in a serious convo, that's what that was.
In response to a Big Lebowsky quote. Meming doesn't relinquish meaning.
That you supported the genocide of Palestine by not voting or voting 3rd party. Thank you for your understanding.
It's still amazing to me that people blame the voters who couldn't stomach voting for genocide, rather than getting mad at the people in charge who chose genocide over winning
It's working out about as well as we expected it would. The Democrats were loudly told that running a terrible candidate, who supported genocide was a bad idea. They didn't listen, and here we are.
I feel like getting made at the people who couldn't stomach voting for a genocidist is the wrong strategy. Getting mad at the people who ran on a platform of genocide seems like a better strategy.
