I absolutely blame some voters. Especially the ones who refused to vote for a female leader even though they didn't like Trump. Especially the ones who refused to vote at all because neither candidate was "perfect".

I can slice it many ways, but none of those ways are, "Kamala is single handedly responsible".

When enough voters say end the genocide or bust, don't be surprised when you bust after announcing continued support for genocide.

Politicians need to learn to listen to voters. Do not blame voters for this trump presidentency, blame the DNC.

Cut off the nose to spite the face is quite apt here.

So youd rather the candidate whod worsen the genocide and do one here? Great logic that

What did I just say?

Thanks for answering the question, excuse me if your position doesnt make a lick of sense. I would think harm reduction is a worthwhile goal if Gaza is such a travesty, but I guess nuking the whole place would be better apparently

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com -1 points 2 days ago

You'd think so right? But the Democrats don't agree.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Eh, enjoy your ended country and your genocide anyway.

I blame the DNC plenty, but I don't blame them solely. There are many, many people that deserve blame.

Things aren't black and white, they're blurred lines of grey.

If the voters say they're black and white it doesn't matter. The politicians need to play ball, not the other way.

Or we just need to guillotine the politicians.

I'm sick of playing a game to cater to them, they need to cater to us.

If you're thinking 'bout playing ball it don't matter if they're black or white, he hee.
