The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

Let’s just see what happens to all these loud voices criticizing Biden once Trump takes office. My guess is magically they’ll stay silent or somehow still blame the left for what’s happening.

Supporting Trump or not, this mindset is one of the factors that helped Trump get elected again. Protest votes are the stupidest thing anyone could have done in this election, and to anyone who did so, you absolutely helped Trump get elected.

Go ahead and delude yourself into thinking that there was any other choice in this election, but the reality is that both sides support Israel, only one side will take it to an absolute extreme.

It’s absolutely heartbreaking what is happening in Gaza, but that is just one of the issues that were on the field this election and the country blew it.

Have you no sense of how things actually work in the world? Are you living in a dream state?

Not voting for Harris this election was exactly the same thing as supporting Trump in terms of actual effects.

Oh great. First it was we'd shut up after Biden was replaced. Then it was election day. And now it's Trump taking office?

Just get off it already.

Three things.

  1. Democratic party is not "the left". They are neoliberal conservatives who support American capitalism and imperialism. There are socialist factions in the democratic party, but they are small and have no actual power in the party.

  2. No one said fucking anything about not voting for Harris. You are having an argument with ghosts you've invented in your rotting skull.

  3. "It's awful what is happening in Gaza" What is happening is the Palestinian genocide. What's happening is ethnic cleansing. What's happening is the mass murder of children. What's happening is thr Israeli state and the IDF is colonizing Gaza and the West bank. They are committing crimes against humanity with American guns and money. It's already at the utmost extreme. THEY ARE SHOOTING CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD EN MASS. IF YOU ARE ANTI-GENOCIDE STOP PRETENDING ITS ANYTHING ELSE.

You are a conservative. You are the exact type of person that supports token progressive politics while women lose rights across the fucking board and the DNC does nothing to stop it when they absolutely could. Same with trans rights. Same with black rights.

You are not the left. You never have been the left. If you disagree with genocide then you should be denouncing it with us, not playing interference tactics for genociders and genocide supporters. The election is over. The DNC failed. Get over it. Accept it. It's done. Time to address the many fucking problems that got us here.
