So let me get this straight:

The Democratic Party snubs the left— even the progressives. They court the right wing, parading the Cheneys around.

The democrats lose.

The rightwing voters get riled up by the mask-off hatred, while their politicians straight up lie to Muslims and Latino people, winning some of their votes.

The democrats lose ground across the board. Their entire turnout was depressed. No matter how many times they learned their views were losing them votes, they refuse to budge on the issues they were undoubtedly wrong about. The fuckin meme says “we didn’t vote for genocide!!!” We can all agree voting…for genocide is…bad, right?

And you’re blaming the people who were ignored and told once again to go fuck themselves? Because they couldn’t stomach voting for people publicly and unflinchingly supporting the genocide.

Not the lying fascists, not the losing party for being told they were going to fail and still failing?

This is exactly how you continue to fail and lose to fascists.

And im telling you right now. History won’t look back and say “those fools! They didn’t vote because of a teensy little genocide!” They will say “all of those people stood by while a holocaust was happening.”

Not a doubt in my mind.
- This is your brain on the two party system. His team lost, but it can’t be his teams fault because it’s his team, you see?
  
  So someone is voting tactically because they're acknowledging the consequences of a FPTP voting system. And you point at the butterfly and ask “is that tribalism?”
- How did letting Trump win help to end genocide? In what way does having an administration that literally says Palestine shouldn't exist and Israel should finish the job and kill all the Palestinians inprove the situation?
  
  When there's a fire, something should be done about it, absolutely. But allowing Trump to wind the Presidency is adding gasoline, wind, and dynamite to the Palestinian fire while also unleashing firebombs on Iran and murdering the fire brigade in Ukraine.
  
  How do you reconcile allowing all this death with your principles?
- when do we mention that this exact phenomenon is what happened globally across the world and is probably irrelevant to both politics and parties representing them?
- The party of self reflection 😂
