    The point was to pressure the Dems into giving up on genocide. You wanna talk about “pepperidge farm remembers”, I got one for ya

    Remember when the Dems thought they could win while actively telling people who were anti genocide to go fuck themselves?

    Hey, what’s weirder? Not voting for someone committing genocide, or being unwilling to stop committing a genocide even if it costs you the election?

    How does it feel that the only thing that Harris had to do was say “I will stop weapons to Israel” and she would of won?

    You can’t keep blaming the voters when the strategy was at fault. They knew they would lose votes. They thought they could court the centrists and liberal Republicans to make up for it. They were so fucking wrong. And somehow it’s not their own fault for having the worst campaign strategy known to man.

    Like, Christ. Y’all ain’t ever gonna stop trying to blame leftists. You’ll be up against the wall with leftists fighting for your life and you’ll still be like “can’t believe you didn’t vote Harris”. I can’t believe Harris threw away the election over the continued genocide of palastinians. That’s fucking crazy. Is that not crazy to you? You don’t find it fucking insane that the Dems would rather a fascist state than stop actively committing a genocide? Cause that’s the fucking Gambit they ran and look where we are.

    Look. I’m pissed. Your pissed. But we are just people with no power. Same with all those voters you wanna complain about. All we have is the ability to yell and vote. And while I voted for Harris out of fucking fear, I cannot blame the people who yelled “I will not vote for you if you keep committing genocide” and were fucking CALLED ON THAT SHIT. What kind of monster gambles with their own base over a fucking genocide?

      voting is power, hell not voting is power. is it a fair system?

      fuck no, but not voting did help get us here

      disclaimer: gerrymandering and voter suppression also played a huge role

      You know who committed genocide?

      Stalin killed thousands of Poles. The USA had lynchings going on all through WW2. I’m not even going to start on the UK.

      And they were all better alternatives than Hitler.

        Greatest defence in the world. Vote for lynchings, better than extermination camps.

        Or. Hear me out. Put a fucking bullet in both of them some bitches and stop accepting the lesser evil.

        Stalin killed thousands of Poles.

        Won’t anybody think of those poor innocent Germans Stalin killed?

        The USSR was at war with right-wing insurgents. If you want to go down a rabbithole, do some research on any “polish resistance”, 50% chance you’ll come across nazi collaboration, warcrimes directed at jews, or both.

          So, you’re saying Stalin should have turned down help from the Brits and Americans?

            What are we talking about? I’m just saying one of those leaders was not like the other.

              I’m talking about getting allies.

              If you’re saying Stalin was perfect, okay. He still got in bed with the US and England.

              Are you saying he shouldn’t have done that?

                lol Stalin wasn’t perfect, he did some awful things such as the internment or relocation of minorities in preparation for WWII and various advice/demands he gave to the CPC that was catastrophic.

                But to address your point, your enemy giving you equipment to help you fight another enemy doesn’t track to telling anyone telling the democrats that genocide is unpopular to shut up.

                If yall had helped us, the democrats might have listened and not have driven the bus off the cliff. If we had shut up, they absolutely would have driven off the cliff.
