These are the same people blaming non-voters because they had a conscience.

Democrats were fine with throwing Palestinians under the bus but people who said "no, we don't want to be a part of it" are the "problem".

They don't want peace, they just don't want to be bothered by the actions of their system they created.

Reprehensible people.

Then vote third party! Not voting just says "I don't care".

I would go even further, by not voting the message those in power get from you is "the current situation/trajectory of society is fine with me". Whether or not that's what you intended.

Agreed. Abstaining from democratic participation doesn't absolve from democratic responsibility. If both parties on offer are shit, at least make a point of showing that on the ballot rather than just silently accepting whatever comes your way.

Oh, cause Palestinians are doing so much better under trump, right? He just gave Israel $3.3 billion for their military...

But anyone saying "Kamala Harris would be much better than trump" is reprehensible?

People making your argument have no sense ofrealpolitik.

that wasn’t the only issue harris had. but that was the issue everyone looked to her at that moment to rally her base, only for her to not only dash that but to parrot the same neo liberal bull shit. and that’s when everyone knew that there would be no escape. if victory was the plan then the democrats should have known better
