      “But… but… I didn’t expect trump to be this bad!”

      I’m hearing that phrase more and more often. I really hope these people enjoy the consequences of their actions, because Gaza is going to disappear and that’s all on every single one of those bastards.

        That’s what staggers you? Not that both of our presidential candidates were unwilling to condemn a genocide?

        And I voted for Harris and don’t know a single person who didn’t. But damn near everyone I know was sickened by Biden’s complicity in the genocide. It was literally the main issue causing Democratic antipathy among my friends, from millennials to boomers (including multiple outspoken Jews). Not because they were on message boards consuming propaganda or because I have an especially radical social network, because it’s fucking genocide and we could see it being reported in real time.

        Whether the empathy party should oppose genocide by a rightwing ethnostate should not have been a confusing choice. That people find the idea of some unidentified voted refusing to vote for more of that, like it’s no big deal and anyone who did was somehow not being mature, is just fucking insane. What on earth happened to you that this isn’t an obvious and very relatable result. I fucking hated voting for Harris. And all this stupid vitriol should be pointed at her and Biden for not being able to do the very simple task of saying what we were all witnessing was abhorrent and our role in it was wrong. That should have been the default Democratic stance on genocide and war crimes. They’re the ones who made a truly incomprehensible choice to put devotion to Israel ahead of American democracy.

            That you’re somehow still focused on “Democracy” (“proud” no less) rather than “genocide” is mind-boggling. You can’t pretend to be self-righteous about American invasions and then just say “whoops, a little genocide, not really important in the grand scheme of things though”.

      Even as recently as last week, I had people telling me that Trump is better for Palestine than Harris would’ve been.

      People are so deep into denial. I wonder if they’ll ever come out and admit they were wrong for not voting.

    But don’t worry guys Kamala was pro Israel! I literally called all this shit during the elections. Everyone on lemmy losing their fucking minds because Harris wouldn’t condemn Israel and all I kept asking was “sure but what will trump do?” And getting downvoted to oblivion. Still 99% sure they were bots but like… serious short sightedness if not.
