In shock announcement, Trump says U.S. wants to take over Gaza Strip

[index@sh.itjust.works]

Sitting out was a choice as so was voting for murderers with blood on their hands. If you always make the good choice you will have no regrets because that is what you are supposed to do.

Just a not even remotely friendly reminder that if you are American, eligible to vote and didn’t vote for Kamala then you actively voted for this.

Don't try to spin logic. The red and blue party were both and has always been unified in supporting the fascist israel government in getting rid of gaza. People who chose not to play the rigged show the US government put up with elections is doing way less harm to humanity than the ones actively voting and supporting murderers.

Correct. If you didn’t vote then you are spineless, a coward and lack any morals.

Not correct, if you didn't vote you didn't vote period.

People saying and persuading others to vote for murderers with blood on their hands are much bigger spineless coward with no morals.

Imagine saying that with a straight face with one side has just declared they want to very actively partake in the genocide and just do the job themselves.

This is like saying giving a murderer a knife is the same as going in with a machine gun yourself.

Shock? I'm surprised Trump didn't start bombing it on day one.

Underrated comment here.

Not voting at minimum makes you more dumb than MAGA... At least they understand voting can bring changes.

That's still a choice though.

[shepherdpie@midwest.social]

You used that line already. Odd that such an intelligent being as yourself couldn't formulate some new material.

These useful idiots are working very hard in making sure that no political lessons will be learned and that next time the DNC will present the American people with yet another ever-so-slightly-less-Fascism-loving candidate than the Republicans.

Just like Trump and the Republican Party leadership has muppets dangling from their strings which will gleefully wallow on the pain and misery of others to defend their leaders, so does the Democrat Party leadership have their own muppets dangling from their strings who with just as much glee wallow in the pain and misery of other to defend their leaders.

People whose response to the actions of one killer is to say "should've voted for our killer instead" have literally no sense of proportion or empathy.

Maybe them draining the Calofornia reservoirs used to irrigate crops during the summer to cause widespread crop failures and drive up food prices massively in a few months.

They're actively trying to cripple the country to please Putin.

If this isn't bad, what is, douche?

Find Palestine on a map made after 1960 pls.

Punk rock predicted this.

"The West Bank, The Gaza Strip, soon will be parking lots for American tourists, and fascist cops"

I know you're trying to be profound here, but in this case, it is exactly the same. Genocide Joe very reliably delivered WMD's to Israel during his term in full knowledge that it was a vastly unpopular decision, up until his last day. The news reported something like 80 people killed in the days between the signing of the ceasefire and Biden leaving office.

Whether it's the US or Israel doing the squatting in Gaza, the results are the same.

You're accusing me of something I never did. I'm asking because pretty much all the blame I've seen is put on those protest voters and the topic of non-voters rarely, if ever, comes up in these comments.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I very specifically said "people like you" because I did not know if you were amongst the people I was talking about.

[goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org]

Just like it was their choice to do the opposite of whatever got them enthusiasm

the party can never fail only be failed

[essence_of_meh@lemmy.world]

To me saying "people like you" implies similarity between "them" and the person you're saying it to but whatever.

To reiterate, I don't think these people are blameless (every bit of resistance counts after all) but I feel like for many normal people, politicians and media commentators, they (pro-Palestinian protesters, LGBT folks etc) became a scapegoat that completely stole the focus from all the rest of the potential voters who didn't feel strongly enough to oppose an openly fascist candidate. It's just weird to see.
