True. But at the same time you're not going to get any of that by not voting and letting Republicans get elected. I mean get you butts out there and primary these centrist lead weights.

[papertowels@lemmy.one]

How about the start of two genocides?

[gsus4@mander.xyz]

Doesnt this boil down to the usual "the left falls in love, while the right falls in line"? hard to fall in love with genocide and lefties are renowed for not falling in line even against their best interests. Makes it hard to win as an incumbent, though, how did Obama win reelection, he wouldn't have been mistaken for a saint the second time round.

primary these centrist lead weights.

This. Right. Here.

[kairubyte@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

If only genocide was the only issue now.

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

i don't think he's much much much much worse, that's too many muchs- maaaybe much much worse- and that's neither here or there.. genocide IS a reasonable red line and you can't gaslight me off my solid footing in that regard.

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

and sometimes you have a conscience that doesn't allow you to rationalize away complicity in genocide

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

it is safe because i didn't allow myself to reduce supporting genocide to a trolley problem.

[gsus4@mander.xyz]

You reduced multiple issues like fighting climate change or keeping civil rights to the one issue where you have no leverage. You're the one dumbing down political discourse, I just framed it in a way that captures hundreds of sterile debates.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

Hey they would at least condemned Israel's actions

Excuse me while I go cry in the corner about how fucked we are

[fallowseed@lemmy.world]

and that's my prerogative as a voter. are you here to shame me some more? about the genocide i won't overlook to vote for kamala harris? the same kamala harris who reversed her position on fracking? who wanted to fund nato even harder? you're gonna tell me she represented climate change?? and bath-tub of collard green kamala harris is not doing a damn thing for civil rights, so where are you coming from with this?

[gsus4@mander.xyz]

Eh, I'm venting at this point, as I wrote before, it's not your even your fault, y'all were probably venting too over months of war crimes, it's the uninformed normies who don't care and don't understand that decided this.

[fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de]

They couldn't win an election as diet republicans.

They're not going to win if they move further left.

[mashedhobbits@lemy.lol]

There was one shot at helping the people of Palestine, that was the Democrats.

They refused to listen to voters and instead took in billions of lobbying from Zionists.

The only blame lies solely on Kamala and her greed. Imagine thinking stopping Trump was less important than making money.

[jordanfirestar@lemmy.world]

Democrats lost because they didn't embrace populist rhetoric.

If they just ran someone like Bernie they could have won. People are tired of the status quo and they thought Trump would be a way out of it. All democrats run on is "we'll keep things the same".

[venusaur@lemmy.world]

None of the votes during this past election would have helped Palestine. That’s the point. You gotta think long term. Dems and Reps suck. Our two party, single vote system isn’t working for the people and they want you to believe it is.

[arbiter@lemmy.world]

It ain’t over, just another chapter in the long struggle for freedom.

[panarab@lemm.ee]

Who was president when Israel flattened Gaza? Who sent them the weapons to do it? Why do you excuse Biden and the Democrats role just because Trump is worse?

The Harris campaign purposefully ignored anyone asking about Gaza.
