I wish it wasn’t so tragic, so I could laugh at people who couldn’t vote for Harris because Biden didn’t single-handedly stop the genocide.

Now the same accounts are blaming democrats for not going far enough left. I think the goal is to push democrats and republicans so far apart on the political spectrum that nothing gets done.

But happily downvoting. I hope all the terrorist simps here are happy for going after Harris, because this is the result they consequently wanted.

The great majority are still thinking about Trump might have the concept of a plan.

No, your admin and mods banned those accounts in the lead up to the election under the reason “troll,” because you people (meant as offensively as reasonable) can’t take opposing view points or the guilt of explicitly supporting genocide.

If two bans was all it took to silence all those voices, they weren’t that plentiful to begin with.

I didn’t expect Biden to stop the genocide.

Today they were kinda proved right, though. After having imposed another deadline on Israel and that deadline having again expired they again won’t stop sending arms to Israel. Even when this is the last fucking chance before Trump is taking over. You can’t just ignore this shit.

He not only did not attempt, in any way to stop the genocide, he sent troops to aid the genocide. There isn’t anything else Trump can do except donate gas chambers and trains.

Face palm. It’s fucking tragic what is about to escalate for the Palestinians. I hope all the people that blathered on with nonsense about “Genocide Joe” are able to do some self-reflection.

FFS.

There’s been basically no change in the posting about Palestine since the election, but these people (including this two month old account) have a narrative in their head and won’t let reality intervene.

Seeing as biden gave billions in support of israel while they carried out this genocide for over a year, the moniker is well-earned. Hopefully you do some self-reflection to realize that both parties full-throatedly support israel. The other guy being worse is not an excuse to support genocide. Democrats will keep talking about how much worse republicans are while moving to the right in pace with them.

I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Who could have guessed Trump would appoint somebody who doesn’t recognize the victims of genocide as real people? It’s not like Trump called pro-Palestinians protestor “pro-Hamas thugs” and “jihad sympathizers” or said “I will give Israel the support that it needs to win but I do want them to win fast” or called attempts by Biden to negotiate a cease fire an attempt to “tie Israel’s hand behind its back”.

How could anybody have known? By looking at how he handled conflicts in the area during his first administration? What are we? A nation of nerds that try to make educated decisions about our political leaders?

What real difference does this make though? I honestly don’t see what actually is going to change in Gaza. Yes, Biden isn’t overtly racist against Palestinians, but he doesn’t consider them human beings either. He’s given Israel a complete blank check to do whatever they want. And I expect that to continue unchanged under Trump. As a practical matter, I really don’t see what Trump can do that Biden already hasn’t. Trump will just be a lot ruder about it.

Seems like you are poorly read and have a bad imagination.

Luckily for you, I don’t think it will take long for you to witness first hand what Trump can, and will, do that Biden or Harris would never.

Genuine question: To all the Democrats who chose not to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Palestinian issue, what’s your thought process?

All people’s nationalities are made up.

Just like all nation state borders.

Just like all religions.

Hell, someone pulled your vaunted, family crest owning last name directly out of their asshole at some point in your ancestry. It’s all just ego stroking bullshit.

The problem, as always, is that people take these made up bullshit designations seriously, to the point of mass murder.

We are all actually the same species, capable of similar highs and lows of emotion, of pain, of hunger.

Too bad most everyone refuses to start and end with that, because if we’re all equally deserving of empathy and resources, how can I get mooooooaaaaar than those other people I’m clearly better than? Because my Parents, President, and Priests said I deserve more than those bad people that live in the wrong place and suck the wrong imaginary friend’s imaginary dick.
