    Your continued apologizing for genocide as the lesser of two evils after the election is as morally bankrupt as the Dem leadership that tried to sacrifice gazan lives for the Republican vote. And look at how well that worked out for them.

      I am not apologizing genocide, I am simply criticising people that voted for Genocide + More by not going to vote at all.

      The morally right choice was to reduce harm as much as possible, and that was only viable if voting with Kamala. By otherwise not voting or going independent (In a place like U.S. where an independent vote is basically a waste), you’re just letting the fascism push more.

      But again, these people can at least sleep easier at night knowing they didn’t vote for anyone doing genocide. They simply facilitated genocide + everything bad to seep through and win.

      Trying to only blame the dems for the civic duty failure of 15 million people is insane in my opinion. In other countries you just vote with the candidate you like the most, even if they won’t see eye to eye with you on some issues, it’s not some “oh I will only vote if these candidates win me over!”. You either vote because you agree with someone ideologically, or you vote because there’s Hitler on the ballot and Jesus Christ you do not want Hitler to win, even if the candidate you voted for will only give Israel more weapons. Otherwise you let Hitler win and now there are two genocides occuring instead of just one.

        No, you’re apologizing by drawing a fucking distinction for the Dems that does not exist. It just doesn’t. I’ll refer you to my original point: where is the red line for the Dems on Gaza?

          I guess sending weapons permits a level of discussion with an otherwise insane lunatic. Trump won’t give a shit about the discussion.

          Now I ask you, how many ongoing genocides are enough? Because the people that didn’t vote are probably on the side of “Hey, Palestine isn’t enough! Ukraine should get some aswell! And former USSR countries in the future!”

          Thank you for voting Harris, you just need to understand the 15 million are idiots for not expressing one of the most essential opinions whatsoever

              I wonder if you would have had the same response if I was palestinian and threatened by Israel, instead of Eastern European and threatened by Russia and possible nuclear war.

              Nice fucking moral compass dipshit.

          Wrong! Not American! Also not a fucking moron!

          If I was an American I would have voted Kamala simply because TRUMP is Much. Much. Much. MUCH FUCKING WORSE FOR LITERALLY EVERYONE. NOT JUST GAZA.

          I don’t know, at the end of the day, when you vote for a president first and foremost should be your own interests before any foreign politics. Making sure your rights are intact so you can discuss foreign issues afterwards.

          It’s like airplane oxygen masks: Put on your own mask before helping others. The non-voters/independents have frsntically tried to help others first, failed miserably and fainted in the process, slowing everyone around down.

          But I am sure the children in Gaza will be grateful you let Trump win because he is such a sweetheart with children :P
