    In the Kamala timeline, Israel keeps genociding the Palestinians while the democrats try to do a lot of mental gymnastics to try to paint it as a good thing

      Bro trumps team literally made a shitty AI generated “we’re going to raze Gaza and build a gold plated hotel here” commercial. If that’s not “mental gymnastics to paint genocide as a good thing” idk what to say to you.

        Also a bad thing.

        Not sure why the moment you criticize democrats they assume you support the other side

          Cool we both agree it’s bad, now can we agree that the dems plans of “ok i guess we’ll slightly slow down the shipment of weapons to Israel but still honor the preexisting treaties we made with them” is not the same as “we’re going to send even more weapons and turn the Gaza Strip into a gilded Trumpland.”

          As for why people come out when people people criticize dems who else can even remotely get elected into the presidency? Jill “rubs shoulders with Putin at a fancy dinner” Stein of the deeply unserious “we’re only going to run one candidate for presidency and nowhere else, it’s not like Congress has to pass legislation and the House controls the budget” Green Party? Lmao that’s a good joke.

          Whatever “imma deregulated everything and abolish age of consent” joke of a candidate of the libertarians? Lmao the solution to our problems with capitalism is even more capitalism!

          The nonexistent leftist party and their imaginary radical leftist candidate who idolized Stalin a bit too much? The jokes keep coming.

      Soooo…. Is it that you only give a shit about Palestinians? Fuck all the other people trump is going to hurt, right?

      Because it’s SO fucking easy to focus in on one single issue to base your entire personality and political ideology on. But man…. It sucks major ass when you zoom out just a bit and see ALL the other people being hurt by the arrogant and entitled decisions made by people who don’t have a fucking clue how the real world works.

        Edit: The comment I replied to was removed, so my sarcasm seems out of place without context. I have removed that reply.

        I will instead say this: before the election I complained that there was no viable anti-genocide voting option, and before I got downvoted into oblivion I was told “well, you can’t get everything you want in politics”. I held my nose and voted Harris, thinking maybe the democrats could be pressured.

        Well here we are. The whole fuckin thing makes me want to cry.

        And this is why democrats lost and will keep losing.

        They can’t be criticized or get called out for supporting a genocide.

        It is the bare minimum. They can’t even do that. They want unconditional support and loyalty, but won’t put any effort into accomplishing anything.

            The context is your own selfish reasons and total lack of solidarity for anything outside of what affects you, even when they enable and support the most horrific acts of this century.
