        I remember in that same time and day the whole leftist internet were retweeing her clip and hashtagging #ImSpeaking celebrating how powerful she was shutting down a crowd asking their VP and presidential nominee to do something about the genocide, in that same day, 500 people were massacred by Israel. It was too disgusting, and has aged like rotten milk

      people made it clear that supporting genocide was a line they wouldn’t cross, this was apparent even without the polls. how are we still blaming voters when the dems still refused to adjust position? they chose Israel over winning, that’s completely on them.

        Yeah it’s bullshit. I voted third party because dems decided Israel is worth supporting. But let’s be mathematically accurate here.

        Even if all the people who DID vote that did not vote republican had voted for the democrat, there would not have been enough electoral college influence to affect the outcome.

        You would have needed more non-voters to vote. But a non-voter then was probably a never-voter. There are people that exist who simply don’t care one way or the other who is in charge and you can’t convince those people to go vote. Sure you can try, but in the end it’s the people who did vote who get what they voted for.

        Regardless of all of that I find the “you should have voted democrat” argument to be exceptionally stupid. The democrat party is backing a government that I find to be morally reprehensible, as do most Americans, what should have happened is those who were saying “yeah it’s bad but I’m still gonna vote dem” should have just voted for a third party. Why vote against your interests?

            That’s a weird way to interpret what I said. I care very much about what the current administration is doing. I care very much about my trans friends and the trans community. I’m very aware how things currently are.

            My point is simply that it is illogical to blame people who voted third party. Because mathematically even if every single person who did vote third party voted for the democrat the Republican Party still would have won the election.

            Democrats want to win? Run on a platform that is actually popular. Don’t support people like Hakeem Jeffries and Kamala Harris who talk down to their would be constituents. Don’t support people like John fetterman who is basically just a Republican posing as a democrat.

        So, they refused to support genocide (a position, to be clear, that I agree with) by taking an action (voting third party) or inaction (not voting) that would clearly, and obviously, give a candidate who supported genocide a higher probability of not just winning, but being supported by others with the same opinion?

        Voters were put in an invidious position and there were no good options, but there was one option that was clearly worse in every way, and they either directly or indirectly chose to support him.

          Donald Trump secured a clear victory in the 2024 presidential election, but some online posts claimed Kamala Harris would have won several key states if not for ballots cast for third-party candidates. This misrepresents available data – preliminary totals show that even with all the non-Trump votes in the seven biggest battlegrounds, the vice president would not have secured an Electoral College win.

            How many people decided not to vote? As I mentioned, it wasn’t just third party voters, but also those that chose not to vote. Also, to be clear, voters should not have been put in that position in the first place. However, they were put in that position, and given that there were only two possible outcomes to the presidential election, there really was only one sane choice to make. Unfortunately many chose a different one.

              People who knew what would happen if your party didn’t abandon its support for genocide warned you what would happen.

              Centrist democrats thought they knew better and charged right ahead with a shit candidate with a single morally reprehensible policy and a timid little bunch of promises no one could trust after the previous 4 years of broken promises.

              You were wrong. You lost. You should have listened. You have the opportunity to listen now. You don’t want to. You want to blame people who don’t support the only policy the party won’t back down on.

                The problem is, it’s not really the dems who lost, it’s everyone who isn’t a fascist. The party as a whole isn’t really affected by this (and that’s a huge problem), and most of the candidates who lost their elections are part of the party and will just carry on. The way that changes is through pushing for, and supporting, candidates at all levels who support a better agenda, not at the ballot box.

                The whole system sucks; be mad about it, push to change it, but I don’t think that those who voted third party, or chose not to vote think this, overall, is better than the results of Harris being in the White House, and they, combined, could have changed this outcome.

                Ultimately this election is done, the situation is what it is, and, with a bit of luck, there’ll be elections next year and in '28 where some of this can start to be undone. I wish I was more confident in that.

She is pathologically incapable of leading in any particular direction, and just wants some sort of successful outcome, not any particular goal for any particular reason. Any win will do. She’s the perfect empty headed puppet.

        Kamala lost because she was running on a Campaign of Joy™️

        The only way to win a campaign is to garner more rage than your opponent. Nixon’s campaign manager put it well- “The secret to politics is to know who hates who”. That’s how they flipped the then deep blue south into a Republican stronghold for 60 years.

        Frankly I think this is why we are doomed to civil war, candidates that try to calm things down will always lose to candidates who fan the flames.

        If she isn’t willing to come my way on Palestine, why should I spend time and money on her?

                But all of you people who held your nose and voted for her are the reason why she felt able to run on a pro-genocide platform. If you all had more morals, the Democrats wouldn’t have felt safe running a pro-genocide candidate. (See the game can be played both ways when we decide not to blame the people who actually deserve it — those at the top).

      The pro-Palestine movement is protesting against the Trump administration almost every day. Just because Democrats are one degree better doesn’t mean they get a pass for supporting the modern-day Holocaust for 16 months and handing the country on a silver platter to Trump.

      Every Democrat who played a part in propping up the inanimate corpse of Biden and supported the genocide in 2024 need to be run out of politics and reminded of their miserable fucking FAILURE to stop fascism for the rest of their lives.

                If your goal was to stop the genocide, you should’ve voted for the person that values human lives over the one that doesn’t value anyone but himself. There was a chance we could’ve mounted enough political pressure that Harris would eventually cave. There’s zero chance of that with Trump. Forest through the trees.

                  Read this again. Pay attention to how weak of an argument it is. There was a chance she would eventually cave? Come on, no one really believes that, especially when she gave no indication that she believed anything different than Trump or Biden about Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

            That’s because you deepthroat propaganda.

            Leftists overwhelmingly voted for Harris.

              No, I’m saying a percentage of leftists helped Trump win because they succumbed to propaganda. IMO, the leftists that opted out of voting for Harris don’t get to pretend like they did it to help Palestine. Trump getting back into office is, and was always going to be worse for Palestine. Seeing as you’re willing to put words into my mouth, this is the only response you’re going to get from me. Not interested in conversing with rage-fueled teenagers.

                The data shows that the people who voted for Biden and stayed home for Harris were democrats and independant boomers, genx, and a small amount of Millennials. Of these age groups the ones who stayed home the vast majority were white men/women, and hispanic men. Again these were boomer Neoliberals who didn’t want to vote for a colored woman.

                If every single gaza protester voted for Harris (assuming none of them did) then it wouldn’t be anywhere close to enough votes for her to win.

                Quit deepthroating the anti leftist, anti young propaganda plz

          That’s a pretty emotional argument. She’s a mature woman in her 70’s. I doubt she would see it the way you do.

          Would you end your current career if you had some sort of major failure? Personally, I would try to learn from it and do better next time.

            If my failure caused 4 years of Donald Trump? Yes, I would find another career. How many fully loaded 747s can a pilot crash before they shouldn’t be speaking authoritatively on how to fly planes?

              You really like false equivalency arguments, don’t you? Harris didn’t singlehandedly cause four more years of Trump. That took the entire GOP working/plotting towards it for four years, as well as many failures in leadership, on both sides, among many departments. I blame Biden’s DOJ for not prosecuting Trump for inciting an insurrection more than I blame Harris’ rushed campaign and handful of poor responses to questions. I also blame voters like you, who still fail to see the big picture and, instead, waste energy trying to punish neoliberals for playing neoliberal politics when the choice is between more neoliberalism and outright fascism. Both choices suck, but one leaves the option for a long game, while the other leads to minorities like me being murdered by the state.

                What would the Democrats have to do to lose your support?

                How much failure and faked impotence does it take for you to discard them?

                Don’t answer that, just think about it.

            Imagine a pilot flying a plane into a building and then going on book tours. Even worse, it’s kind of obvious the pilot did it because rich people and foreign nations told him to.

            “I’m not the pilot right now”

    Palestine voters, you are a bunch of fucking morons

    One candidate (Kamala) was willing to listen to you

    The other candidate wants to level Gaza and turn into a resort

    And you went with the candidtate that wants to turn Gaza into a resort.

    I personally never gave a fuck about the people of Palestine. I still don’t give a fuck about them, I just have too much on my plate to care about them. But I did vote for Kamala and I did hope she’d help Palestine, but she lost…so eh I geuss Palestine gets fucked.
