Hey Kamala, just say Genocide bad ... just once, you don't even need to action it, we all know politicians lie as easily as breath. Just once and you make history.
The walking special K ad throwing salutes is the result of protest votes not the continuing genocide. Palestine would burn under either administration.
Why are you so concerned with "protest voters"? If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.
It's way easier to blame a small amorphous group of people, but why don't you focus on winning? Harris got 6 million fewer votes than Biden. Do you think all those people stayed home because of Palestine?
Take this energy and put it towards something useful. Ignoring all the facts so you can punch left is pathetic.
If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.
Lol. This argument is so stupid.
Those fools voted not knowing if they would make the difference or not. And in other elections, it has.
They don't get a pass because their idiocy ended up not being the deciding factor.
It's more about the people who didn't vote at all.
It's more about a trash system with trash candidates where most people's votes don't matter at all.
Isn't that just non-voters? Not voting is viewed by literally everyone as "don't care", not a protest.
The Protest Vote Paradox™
As we’ve all read time after time in the months leading up to the election, the Protest Vote™ simply states states that:
“We refuse to vote against a Tyrant-Felon in order to send a clear and concise message that we will not stand for [roll D20 for random popular single issue], and alongside our refusal to vote against the Tyrant-Felon, is a collective hope that the aforementioned clear and concise message- if ignored, is received under unmitigated duress!”
-Cut to Tyrant-Felon’s win, and the aftermath:
Wether observed or not, the behavior of the Protest Voter will attempt to achieve the following:
• Obnoxiously tell everyone “We told you all what would happen!”
• Claim there is “No way protest voting could cause trump to win.”
As both of these options cannot simultaneously be true in the same reality without breaking important time-space things that we would probably prefer not be broken- we are left with only a few logical conclusions:
Something, something, something Ted Talk.
If you vote for quick genocide or slow genocide you are still voting for genocide
If you vote for the lesser evil, you are still voting for evil. I am sorry that your morals are so bankrupt that you're willing to let your own country murder hundreds of thousands of people in cold blood and not care.
Lets not rewrite history and pretend that Biden/Harris were good for Palestinians. They vetoed every single ceasefire that came up, and were the only country to do so.
They lost this election themselves by not listening to their base. The fault started and remains and ends with the establishment democratic party
If only they'd put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.
It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign's polling showed that it was a losing position.
Morals are morals, but they shouldn't be completely uncompromising
In this case we had the status quo on one side and on the other, someone who was itching to throw the dial to 11 across the board.
At this point, any blood spilled as on their hands just as much as the DNC.
Some moral stances cannot be crossed. Like supporting genocide is a line the globe has generally agreed should not be crossed.
Coworker: "I hate trump, he should never be president!" Me: "So you're voting Harris?" Coworker: "I don't know if we're ready for a WoMaN president"
Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.
Good thing they got rid of Genocide Joe to pave the way Death dealing Donny
