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

[thefriar@lemm.ee]

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.

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

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?

[newdark@lemmings.world]

Should have run a not dogshit candidate. The bar is in hell, it's not that hard

"Genocide for the filthy poors to punish the Dem party elites who made the campaign decisions and won't feel a thing. That'll show 'em!"

Fucking amazing.

[abidanyre@lemmy.world]

The choices status quo vs all the genocide and you couldn't even bring yourself to do the bags minimum.

You don't have the high ground you think you do.

[newdark@lemmings.world]

As if the democrats care about the poors lmao.

[abidanyre@lemmy.world]

Oh fuck off. Kamala wouldn't have been cheering for ethnic cleansing.

If you have two choices and one is less bad, you choose the less bad one.

[pugjesus@lemmy.world]

As if the democrats care about the poors lmao.

Clearly you and your conception of the Democrats have something in common, then.

[wrenfeathers@lemmy.world]

So…. Are both sides still the same? Asking for a friend.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

"She's not a public figure anymore, she's a private citizen, why isn't she condemning this?" Where? In congress? In the white house? How do you know she's not being vocal about this?

[uberdroog@lemmy.world]

Evangelicals support this message. Forcing the end times one way or another.

[newdark@lemmings.world]

Nah it's genocide and proto-fascist liberalism vs. genocide and full tilt fascism. If it wasn't this election cycle, it was going to happen regardless.

[auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yes, they're doubling-down.

[flowvoid@lemmy.world]

As if leftists care what happens to Palestinians lmao.

[newdark@lemmings.world]

If my perception is correct, my vote wouldn't help the poor regardless. Think it through.

[auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Choice was the status quo and pushing towards a solution or palestines erasure. Nothing about being 'right', about hoping yous aren't completely cooked and see sense. Just as far gone as MAGA unfortunately.

[newdark@lemmings.world]

Cope harder please

The difference in the PoliticalCompassMeme subreddit is night and day. One of the few places you can still bully fascists without getting banned.
