I’m sorry, if a politician sees the polls that say “Don’t back genocide” and still pledges to back genocide to pander to the mythical moderate conservative, why are people still obligated to vote for them? Because they’re the lesser of two evils? Clearly they don’t give a flying fuck what their constituents want.
When they chided “who else are you going to vote for?” In 2016, they got a resoundingly clear answer: “Nobody.” But it’s supposed to be different now? The Democrats need to step off the stage and progressives need to step up, because it’s obvious they can’t win elections on being Republican Lite.
First off, I voted for Harris, so you can put your “moral stand” nonsense away; I know damn well how important this shit is. Second, the genocide in Palestine was happening either way and I’ve spent time and money before and after the election on causes to help Palestinians, because that’s way more effective than one measly vote. Can you say the same?
Maybe direct this vitriol to your representatives instead of the people in this community?
because now you have a “blank check” for expanded genocide. congrats. that was a fucking masterful plan
there were 2 choices… you don’t get a 3rd choice - you can argue it was a choice for the future, but this round anyone who didn’t vote is partly responsible for the additional lives that will be lost, the rights curtailed, and the erosion of your due process
Yeah, there were two choices, and it might shock you to learn I voted for Harris, just like I voted for Clinton back in 2016. I’ve been pushing people to the polls ever since, I’ve done walk-and-knocks, I’ve gone to town halls. How do you think I know people are disgusted with Democrats?
Democrats continuously fail to establish rapport with their voter base because they’re consumed with the idea of ‘reaching across the aisle,’ and they’re reaching across into fascism. Is it any fucking wonder, then, that they can’t get votes? I guarantee less than one percent of Conservative voters changed their mind on Kamala because she promised to install Republicans in her cabinet. Democrats are trying to be the diet coke to Republican coke, and guess what? Coke drinkers don’t drink diet coke when coke is on the fucking menu, quelle fucking suprise.
So, now those voters have genocide in Gaza and a new one in Ukraine, plus the people who are dying because they can’t get medical abortions.
Great job.

So, now we’re looking at genocides in Gaza and Ukraine and the possibility of mass arrests in America.
Congratulations.
If people die because of your moral stand, it’s not really that moral.

Maybe lead with that next time?

That’s nice dear, but there is always a third choice.
