      While some people care passionately about the genocide, if every single person who stayed home or voted third party over Gaza had showed up to vote, Trump still would’ve won.

      That issue wasn’t as important to the election as seemingly anyone wants to believe. Kamala lost because of the perception of the economy, which is the issue that ultimately decides damn near every election.

      Which is a fact that I think pisses off both sides of this rift. The withholders because the electorate doesn’t care enough about Gaza, and the rest who want someone to blame.

      In another, closer election, maybe it would be the issue that the election hinged upon and they would be complicit in Trump’s actions (including worse Gaza policy than Kamala). But as it turned out, in this election, Gaza was irrelevant to the outcome — as one would expect because there wasn’t much daylight between Kamala and Trump on that particular issue.

      So everyone can quit poking them with a stick. I don’t endorse their position at all, but in hindsight they have a clean conscience on the genocide and Trump.

      Fuck off, troll.

      I voted for her because but I guarantee the vast, overwhelming majority of people you are trying to trigger didn’t think she was worse. What stopped them was having her and the Democratic party she represents ignore the will of their base on issues as fundamental as fucking genocide.

      I see it as a failure to understand game theory. However, I respect someone that is having a gun held to their head and being told to do something instinctively responding “fuck you” and refusing to do it, or doing the opposite to send a message. Unfortunately, the they are one in a hundred million and those they are trying to send a message to are too busy tonguing the assholes of wealthy Zionist donors to hear anything but their own marching orders.

      fuck you.

      no genocide should be tolerated in any ballot.

      All she had to say is that she would stop aid and weapons to a genocide and comply with international law. the democrats lost because they genuinely sucked.
