    Another day, another Lemmy post blaming leftists instead of Republicans, conservatives, racists, and their enablers.

      Another day, another commenter putting words into my mouth to make themselves feel better. No shit Republicans and the sycophant media are to blame, I blame them all the time. but the disingenuous “abandon harris” crowd sure didn’t help either. You’re welcome to keep ignoring context though, that’s never stopped anyone around here before.

      Well republicans, conservatives and racists are the minority. Had everybody left of them voted, the US wouldn’t be on track to become a fascistoid autocracy.

        But everyone left of them didn’t vote, and I think there are certainly more non-voting liberals than non-voting leftists, so focusing on an even smaller minority of Pro-Palestinian abstainers is silly.

        Only 64% of the Voting Eligible Population turned out in 2024, what percentage of that 36% remaining do you really think is Pro-Palestinians that couldn’t stomach Harris?

        Do you have any facts that show it was Pro-Palestinians that failed to show up? Instead of America just wanting the reactionary populism?

        It’s not leftists’ fault at all that a centrist party lost to a far right party. Please provide any proof whatsoever that it was Pro-Palestinian voters that caused Democrats to lose the popular vote, the electoral college, the house, and the senate.

          I’m not singling any “side” out as the culprit. It’s always “this vs that” with everyone these days. Left vs right. Black vs white. No gray areas.

          I’m blaming everybody who didn’t vote strategically on Kamala to lessen the horrific effects on the whole WORLD this will have. Not that it seemingly has to make a difference, considering the American voting system is shite. Perhaps Trump was due to win regardless of the American people voting.

          It’s the fault of everyone who didn’t vote against fascism. That’s how it works; if you are capable of voting for Kamala, but didn’t, it’s your fault Trump won.

          Kamala was the vote in favor of Palestinians, workers, and domestic minorities. If you didn’t spend about an hour to vote for her, that means you think all of those groups aren’t worth an hour of your time or you’re too stupid to figure shit out.

              Trump is gonna make sure they’ll die faster, and there’ll be no hope for a cease-fire. With Kamala, the outcome of the genocide is less certain, and there was a cause for hope. The Dems had some people that listened, the Republicans give 0 shits. Now there’s nothing we can do; any protests will fall on deaf ears, and there’s clearly no hope for revolution.
