Are all ya dumb fucks who refused to vote for Kamala happy?

Ya happy all your trans friends are about to be sent to concentration camps so you could virtue signal your pathetic hollow support for Palestine (that's actively doing far worse under Trump than under Biden BTW)?

Hope all the death and destruction partially on your hands was worth you feeling like a special little hero for a few hours last November.

You are 100% right, and 100% useless. I'll bet you were one of those morons who thought they were helping Harris win by scolding voters who were angry about genocide. Brilliant politics there, berate voters until you get your way.

Fuck this bullshit, why do they get a free pass? They caused this, they need to take accountability for what they did.

The voters "angry about genocide" ABSOLUTELY deserve to be criticized for their unbelievably stupid or selfish decision. Those people fall into two camps 1.) extremely stupid and short-sighted or 2.) Inauthentic self-centered assholes who care more about how cool and rebellious they appear than they do about Palestinians.

You expect us to believe you care about Palestinians when you helped bring Trump to power? You intentionally made things worse for Palestinians just to make a political point. That's fucking despicable.

OK, got it. No free pass. What are talking about here, on a scale from harsh finger wag to mass executions?

You expect us to believe you care about Palestinians when you helped bring Trump to power?

The only vote I ever made that assisted Trump was a vote for Biden in 2020. I voted Harris, and you are clearly not trying to follow what I'm saying. Quit wasting my time.

You intentionally made things worse for Palestinians just to make a political point.

Such irony. This is exactly my criticism of your misguided efforts to help Democrats by berating voters. Your arguments and especially your attitude aren't sending the message you think they are.

Something something both sides same.

One side, forgive student debt and invest in infrastructure.

Other side, masked agents kidnap off street, send people to concentration camps, and censor free speech.

See, both sides same.

No shit.

Hey assholes - this is what the "worse of two evils" looks like! Remember it for the next time, if you get a chance again.

You guys still cant accept that your candidate just sucked? No? Still blaming leftists and minorities?

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anyone who didn't vote against trump deserves the blame

[–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What good does the blame do? People are ants compared to those that run in a democracy seeking election to represent the people in our current system.

I'd like to request that you do your best to find it in you to soften your heart towards others who, in any other context outside of this past election, would likely be seen as allies to all of humanity for their commonly expressed sentiment and principles.

You see them through a negative lens right now and your feelings and perspective are both valid, but division is counterintuitive to movement building and community. Dishing out blame like it's candy only hardens your heart more and has the potential of hardening the hearts of others.

I voted for harris. This will not matter to any centrist, since I spoke out against their only policy.

The anti-genocide left was too insignificant to listen to, according to the pro-genocide center. Now they're solely to blame for her loss, according to the pro-genocide center.

It can't be both. Either they're too insignificant to listen to, in which case they're too insignificant to blame, or they're to blame, in which case they're kingmakers and you should have listened to them.

[–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Best thing we can do is to stop blaming and focus on solutions. Holy fuck this is frustrating and tedious.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

If centrists were interested in solutions, they wouldn't be blaming the wing of the party that wants them.

It was never about trans. No one engaged in this line of thinking ever gave a fuck about individuals.

To think a political party is an ally... Yeah, I got a bridge to sell you.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (13 children)

Well, it was all worth it because something something "status quo" and we'd have a genocide in Gaza, or something.
