I’m never voting Democrat again. You had 13 months to stop the genocide but you didn’t, allowing it to be passed on to Trump.
Trump says the quiet part out loud. But we have Biden recorded privately saying he’d kill Arab women and children all the way back in 1982. His unconditional support of the genocide proves he hasn’t changed since.
We didn’t vote for Harris because we knew you weren’t going to pushback on the genocide with her as president just like you didn’t when Biden was president. Now you’re blaming us for Trump despite that all Arab and Muslim American voters still won’t give Harris the 10 million votes she needs to win the popular vote let alone the electoral college.
Congratulations, you fell for ALL of the BS.
And now we all get to reap the rewards.
This right here is why democratic countries desperately need to reform their formal education systems to shift the focus on epistemics, logic and information literacy. We need to equip citizens with the skills neccessary to navigate an incredibly toxic and propaganda-filled info environment.
The genocide isn’t bullshit but I can see why you don’t care about it
You care about the genocide so you voted for a third-party candidate supported by foreign authoritarian states (themselves engaged in genocide) as a way to punish a political faction you accuse of enabling genocide, thus helping an even more aggressive and antti-Arab political faction gain power.
See, it makes no sense. There has to be some rational basis to it. You can't just say you care about something, then support a result that goes againstnwhat you supposedly care for, and still come out righteous in the end. That's just not how it works.
(I mean, I'm sure there were some jews who voted for Hitler in 1933, if that makes anyone feel better. We all make mistakes.)
Are you sure you're not just a Russian psyOp? Or a victim of one? You say "we" but you're just one person.
Your solution is to make things worse? What fucked logic is that...
Edit: oh you're a Saudi, inshallah bro
If I am a Russian psyop then I can’t vote for the Democrats, or at all.
Honestly, do you believe there’s a genocide happening and that the current administration is complicit, or not? I am having trouble making sense of your response either that you deny it or somehow believe that the Palestinians deserve it.
If you know how complicit the current administration is, the upcoming Republican one is just a change in rhetoric saying the quiet part loud. Why would I be the bad person here and not the Democrats? Why should genocide be accepted as normal or unavoidable?
Edit:
You got me. That’s why I couldn’t vote for Harris. Somehow they still let me vote for Stein. Must be another illegal citizen voting.
Thank you.
I went in person to Mary Gay Scanlon as well as emailed her about it. Thank her.
Seriously though. The Arab, Muslim and anti-genocide voters are not why Harris got 10 million fewer votes. I don’t know why OP or liberals blame us.
In a political landscape where winner takes all, there will only ever be 2 optimal choices.
Saying you will never vote Democrat again will only ever boost their opponents.
In this case, the Republicans.
Want me to list all the genocide shit they have ever said?
You can’t scare me with what Republicans might do when Democrats, the lesser evil, are committing a genocide. Since we both agree both options lead to genocide I choose to vote for someone else no matter how unlikely they will win. After all, both major parties are pro-genocide.
A lot of words to say you did not vote against obvious fascists.
Good job dunking on the people your side needs to win over. Keep the smugness going, it will really help.
If every single jill stein voter voted for Kamala, Trump would still be president. These people do not need to be won over. Americans don't care about the genocide.
If Kamala had ran on a progressive platform that would be capable of enticing people like those voting for Jill Stein to vote for her instead, Trump would have been crushed.
Regardless, this is all in the past. The question for you Americans now is surviving the coming onslaught of trumpism and organizing for the revanche.
Is the problem with fascism its degree of obviousness or its consequences?
