Trump says Palestinians have ‘no alternative’ but to leave Gaza

My l*beral in christ I literally voted for kamala
Believe it or not, not everyone who doesn't like liberals is a conservative or "tankie", it's just that nobody likes you. "Meet an asshole every day" and all that

voting is not harm reduction
-

Does anyone remember what fueled many of the Al Qaeda operatives hate for America? It had nothing to do with the brutal suppression of Palestinians, right? ...right?
-
no, harm reduction is recognizing the harm is going to come, and mitigating the consequences. it's not voting for someone who might only cause some harm.

Replace Independents with Democrats, and the same is still true.
-
Notice how all those bot accounts that were so active leading up to the election have completely vanished from the internet now? Yeah.

effectively throwing your vote in the bin for a candidate that has zero chance of winning
So Biden and Harris? What even is your argument here?
-
Seems like a good reason to stay home then.
-
What would a Democratic win have changed here?
-
If the end result is the same I would certainly rather have non-fascist fucks in office

Seems like a good reason to stay home then.
What?

I’m sorry, but were the democrats stopping the thing?
Stop framing this like this is on the people who didn’t want the genocide to happen. It’s such a weird victory lap I see people here taking. Without fail.
News: something horrible has happened in Gaza.
a bunch of people on lemmy: I was so right.
You’re reading news about people being ethnically cleansed and you’re patting yourselves on the back. What in the fuck.
The establishment US and the ownership class are all-in on this genocide. We are exactly where we would’ve been if Kamala had won. They all support Israel. The democrats just had to do some surface level finger wagging because they knew they were relying on the votes of a bunch of people who see how genocide for what it is. They were lying to you and you’re acting like Israel and the Palestinians aren’t on the same exact path they would’ve been had Kamala won.
You all are sick for taking these horrible stories as some kind of victory. The ownership class is pitting you against republicans, and you against the people who didnt vote exactly like you did in an election. And why was that? Because the people you voted for were enabling a fucking genocide.
As was said elsewhere, history won’t be kind to Biden, trump, Kamala, and Netanyahu. But it won’t be kind to the people who were looking the other way to vote for the enablers.
We were handed a shit sandwich. We all had zero good choices. So some people decided they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for enablers of genocide. That isn’t an incorrect decision. Stop fighting the people who—I mean, I’m assuming(?) you don’t support the genocide…—want to see the genocide end. Because what could you possibly be getting out of that but all these back pats you’re giving yourself?

yes. and for 20 minutes to 3 hours on election day that was casting a ballot. like i said. it's a teeny tiny itsy bitsy aspect. it's not everything, but in a lot of ways if you can't bring yourself to even inconvenience yourself that little bit…
-
If you want the anti genocide vote, run an anti genocide candidate. Simple as.
-
I hate that "If you can't stop one specific genocide, you shouldn't stop any genocides" is unabashedly the point of view being put forward by abstainers and their apologists now that Trump is in office. Utterly abhorrent.
But you need to score those internet purity points, fuck people like me who'll be going to the camps, right?
