I didn't vote for Harris because Trump didn't do genocide

I wonder where all those people are now. Because they were REALLY active leading up to the election (and shortly after).

I wonder if they realize they were wrong.

EDIT: Oh, they're here, just had to scroll more.

At a glance, no, they don't seem to be taking responsibility, and even still seem to be taking the moral high ground.

Which suggests it wasn't even astroturfing...lol

They tell you to leave but ~~you have nowhere to go, because they took your home and nobody wants you.~~

Actively block you from leaving and attack you when you try to leave via "safe routes".

FTFY

As a multi-national, multi-ethnic, mutt, I am too.

Given that part of my mutt-makeup is Austrian, I'm offended that Austria and our northern neighbor have greatly contributed to this. Our deserved guilt over the Holocaust blinded us to decade after decade of human rights abuses by Israel.

We've seen this coming for a long time and, as a taxpaying contributor to the biggest funder of Israel, I'm ashamed.

Biden decided it was more important to send billions in weapons to israel as they committed genocide than to listen to protestors, so much so that he thought it was worth losing their votes over it. Harris continued with the same rhetoric. You're ignoring over a year of things getting worse and worse in Palestine while insisting that somehow the democrats ignoring voters during an election when they need the votes are somehow going to make things better when they don't need the votes. You're admonishing people protesting against genocide in order to defend a party that has authorized billions in weapons to israel as they're committing genocide, with Biden even bypassing congress to do so. Think about it.

STOP FUXKING PATTING YOURSELF ON THE BACK FOR FUCKS SAKE. All you’re doing is driving a wedge between people who oppose the genocide. Do you support the genocide? Because shit like this makes it seem like you love it because you get to say “pfft. Well this is on those people over there and I was sooo right.”

Why is this so fucking important to you? Shut the fuck up with this. Every single time there is horrifying news about Gaza. You pull out the blaming stick to say “this is the fault of thise people who didn’t like the genocide!” Shut the fuck up this isnt about you and how fuxking right your vote was.

Do something better. If you actually give a shit. Because it’s very possible you don’t and are more concerned with labeling yourself as having been right and washing your hands of the situation

For fucks sake

We spent over a year using every means of pressure we had to bend the party and all we had to show for it was more billions for Israel. Nothing would have changed if we voted for the party that spent the last year ignoring our demands.

Can I get a religious war with a side of genocide? Oh, it's a package deal and I also get free racism? Cool.

Always was.

It was blindingly obvious this was a genocide on like Oct 8th or 9th. The atrocities have simply ramped up every month.

The IDF started Oct 7 shooting hostages to kill hamas. They spent every month after that bombing the hell out of every bit of infrastructure in gaza.

They used snipers to kill children. They shot more hostages with a "woopsie" after the fact. They shot aid workers trying to bring food. They shut off power/water/electricity. They shot at doctors working in hospitals. And they didn't constrain their genocidal thoughts to just gaza. They expanded into the west bank and later into Lebanon.

The Israeli fascists have simply relied on calling everyone "antisemitic" for calling out the actions of a rouge state.

Choose between two geriatric evil fuckers. Will you choose the one that pretends to care or the one that promises outright destruction. Destruction it is...

No, the borders to Egypt and Israel are closed. There are limited exceptions for medical treatment in Israel. Egypt let in people with the right paperwork (typically by paying a bribe) at the beginning of the war.

It’s very unusual for people not being able to flee from a warzone. Not giving them the option to leave is against the convention on refugees.

The Israeli navy makes it impossible to leave by boat.

Israel could allow Gazans to flee to the West Bank, but so far haven’t done so. Egypt also isn’t interested in opening the border so far, for fear of the refugees not being able to return at a later date. Egypt is afraid of another terrorist group in its country, especially one that threatens the peace with Israel.

They still don't really know why 9/11 happened, they still believe the 'they hate us for our freedoms' line.

I’ve seen a couple of news articles saying the U.S. is setting itself up for another terrorist attack

But why would the trump administration want an excuse to declare martial law?

Americans, on average, are totally ignorant. Don't believe what we say lol.

Hey, how about instead of chastising people for telling biden/kamala they needed to pivot here you look at the DNC that took a campaign strategy of "Well, let's ignore a huge issue because we don't want to lose donor money".

Trump won by unabashedly appealing to his base. Biden/Kamala lost because they ignored their base and chased after Trump's base instead.

Nobody is silent about this what the fuck are you even talking about?
