Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

      sorry, I just literally could not vote for genocide joe.

      maybe stop trying to re-litigate an election your guys lost because they refused to give even the smallest consideration to their voters, including letting a palestinian-american speak or giving even the mildest and least binding condemnation of this shit. accept that this is why they lost. because centrists and leftists can’t hold their noses and endorse genocide, while fascists get hard at the thought.

            First, you were never asked to vote for Biden last year. He literally never appeared on any ballots. Not a single person voted for Biden last year. So your entire point here is fucking moot.

            Second, nobody is asking you to get married to who you vote for. You aren’t required to support every word they’ve ever said. You aren’t even required to support a single thing they do. American elections are a binary choice between the lesser of two evils. That’s how they’ve ALWAYS been. You pick the least bad of two bad options, and Harris was objectively less bad than Trump in every degree. If your candidate wins, you get to work fighting against the lesser evil that defeated the greater one. I’ve been voting for 21 years now and every single election I had to hold my nose and vote for someone I didn’t like because the other option was worse. This election wasn’t about you. Get over yourself and grow the fuck up.

            Third, electoral politics shouldn’t define your life or even the extent of your participation in politics. It’s a single theater of political action among MANY. I was out there before the election in the streets protesting the Democratic ticket’s support of the Gaza Genocide. I also recognized that putting Harris in the White House over Trump would have been better on MANY other issues (women’s healthcare, trans rights, the economy, jobs for federal workers, cost of living, etc, etc). I’m not so petty and self-centered to delude myself into believing one single issue was the only thing that mattered in the entire election.

            Nobody is saying Democrats are great or even good. They fucking suck. We don’t have good options in our electoral politics. We never have. That’s why you need to engage in other forms of politics, too. Your entire “I couldn’t vote for genocide Joe” bullshit is just self-indulgence. It’s childish.

            And yet you still have to live with the fascists who won the election. You don’t get a gold star for moral superiority. There are no good guys in American elections. There never have been. You vote for the lesser of the two evils presented to you, then go back to engaging in politics in ways other than electorally.

              @13igTyme No. It’s a vote for None of the above. Some countries actually have that on the ballot, but IMAGINE how much a US rerun would cost, or some scumbag attempting to govern with 10% of the popular vote. Bye Bye.

                The US is not other countries. When you abstain from voting or write in a protest vote, you are showing your disdain for both candidates while accepting and agreeing with the chosen outcome.

                Your choices were to elect a candidate that we could then protest and push in the right direction, or a candidate that literally had plans to dismantle the government completely laid out in a 900 page document. By not voting, you decided that you are okay with the candidate dismantling the government if they happen to win.

      This was also happening under Biden, you genocide denying scum, this is literally just a return to what was happening under genocide Joe.

      We also knew before the election that Trump would be far worse for Gaza because he kept telling us he would be.

      And by “far worse” you mean the genocide in Gaza would be exactly the same, but selfish comfortable liberals in the US like you wouldn’t have their politicians sugar coating it in comforting platitudes to you in their domestic addresses. And that make you feel bad, and that’s the only fucking thing you western white supremacists shitlibs care about.

        Understand that the US empire is evil, and zionist supremacist control over it is inescapable. Zionist oligarchy, and entire media, funding shifted to Trump in 2024, while in 2020 they picked the most Republican/Zionist/Neocon to win the DNC primary.

        You seem to have an incredibly mistaken understanding of my personal politics. I was out in person protesting the Democrat’s Gaza policy before the election. I’m not claiming or pretending like Democrats were good in any way at all. In fact, if you read my above comment closely, you’ll notice that I pretty clearly said:

        Yes, we all know the Democrats are absolutely fucking awful.

        Nobody here is claiming that there was no genocide while Biden was in office. Of course there was. What I’m criticizing is people who believed the genocide would stop or that Trump would be better for Gaza. There is actually a difference in degrees and the Republicans are actually far far worse for Gaza and all Palestinians. Again, that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are good. It means that the Republicans are even worse.

        Also, I’m not a liberal.

          Don’t care, you engage in genocide denial to support Joe Biden, that tells me enough.

          There is actually a difference in degrees and the Republicans are actually far far worse for Gaza and all Palestinians

          No. There isn’t. The only difference is how they sell it to domestic Americans, and being the selfish western white supremacist that you are, that’s all you care about.

          Again, that doesn’t mean that the Democrats are good. It means that the Republicans are even worse.

          They’re not though, you’re just a selfish PoS

                  clearly demonstrable lie that he was going to be better for the people of Gaza than Biden.

                    Hello, different poster stumbling on the thread. Just to head you off, maybe the other guy feels bad, but you would be mistaken in assuming I feel bad. I’ll be fine (probably) under Trump and would welcome death at this point anyway because I hate almost every one of my fellow citizens now and there isn’t much to live for anymore.

                    And I don’t think it realistic I convince you of anything nor do I care in the sense that I think convincing you would have any material impact because at this point we probably wont even have elections in the future anymore anyway. (I don’t even know if you are an eligible american voter anyway)

                    So now that I’ve established that I lack the material bias:

                    Trump is worse for Gaza than Harris would have been.

                    So why am I bothering to tell you this if it doesn’t matter materially anymore? We lost. Because its a stark reality that hurts you emotionally once it really sets in, and I hate you. I hate you so much. And I want you, specifically, to suffer with this knowledge. Because it’ll give me a momentary respite of dopamine hits to dunk on you while my country becomes a fascist nightmare.

                    Of course, you probably will simply reject this reality because you are willfully ignorant as a means to protect your frail psyche.

                    Oh also I literally don’t care if you call me a shitlib because what you’ve had to say thus far demonstrates that your opinion is completely worthless. And you would be simply wrong. I don’t benefit from capitalism, I have a negative net worth, don’t own my own home, I work a low paying office job, and I am not a liberal ideologically.

            Like…

            1. What party/what person is currently in charge?
            2. And what is currently going on?
            3. Who is responsible for what is currently going on?

                  “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre
