Can they put forward a candidate who doesn't want to play an active role in arming a genocide? Is that just too much to ask? Genuinely asking, cause it kind of sounds like that's what youre trying to say. 2024 election is done, it's over. This is about what comes next.
Pain, suffering, loss of rights, and death because a bunch of dumb assholes stayed home or voted 3rd party instead of accepting that voting Harris was infinitely more responsible and better for our nation than staying home or voting 3rd party?
No, the pain, suffering loss of rights and death were because the DNC decided that continuing a genocide was more important than winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we've ever had.
Maybe next time they should pick a candidate that the people actually want.
Thanks for ignoring my whole comment. If you're defeatist, you've decided that it's all over, then stay out of the conversation. Your genocide defending commentary is not required or requested. If you're not done, you're not defeatist then demand that your political party do better.
It's still amazing to me that people blame the voters who couldn't stomach voting for genocide, rather than getting mad at the people in charge who chose genocide over winning
Yeah, and I didn't vote for him either, so I don't see what's so absurd about that. It's possible to be against the Democrats for supporting genocide, while also being against Trump for supporting genocide. In fact, I've found it easier to just be against genocide no matter who is supporting it.
Harris would not have eased Israel, she herself said as much.
This comment isn't about the 2024 election, it's about the next one. Can the DNC not provide a candidate who refuses to arm a military committing genocide?
It's working out about as well as we expected it would. The Democrats were loudly told that running a terrible candidate, who supported genocide was a bad idea. They didn't listen, and here we are.
I feel like getting made at the people who couldn't stomach voting for a genocidist is the wrong strategy. Getting mad at the people who ran on a platform of genocide seems like a better strategy.
I find it funny that so many people feel it's pointless to vote for parties that represent their views. Don't lie to yourself that we live in a democracy
How ignorant are you? We vote for someone. They become our representative. That happens in reality. Is money corrupting it? No fucking duh. Big congrats on figuring that out.
But still. We vote. It happens. We still have elections. Sometimes the underdog wins, which means it's still legitimate. For now.
What we're experiencing is democracy working, but in a situation where propaganda is winning, which is possible in a democracy. It corrupts democracy.
Our democracy picked Trump because our society is sick.
