First of all, they have started operations in the West Bank with Trump's blessing. You do know there are Palestinians in the West Bank as well, yes?
Secondly, it's been a fucking week.
Thirdly, the word is moot.
Fourthly, if it didn't swing the vote, I guess there was no reason for you to bring it up in the first place. So why did you?
What sort of goldfish brain is needed to not grasp that the slaughter in the West bank was already happening under Biden? It was mentioned in the very comment you fist replied to. Remember?
It must be awful to cope with seeing Trump, a genuine crazy fascist managing to do what Biden did not. And he probably just did it for something as petty as not to look bad. But that is the power America had all along.
Thank you for the correction.
You don't think there is a reason to bring up that the atrocities allowed by Trump are the same as under Biden? No possible reason? It's not all to complex, not only are wrong in your obsessive scapegoating of protest voters and 3'rd parties. You are also disingenuous under your own absurd premises.
Thanks for confirming for me that it's not worth the time to engage.

When did you bring up the atrocities allowed by Trump? Please show me what you have said about his trying to start a genocide of queer people domestically. I bet you won't even admit that's what he wants.
As far as my coping with Trump, that's exactly why I'm in the United Kingdom right now without a job- to save my queer daughter's life. And it's the fault of people like you that I had to do it.
But I'm sure queer people don't matter like Palestinians do, right? It's not like they're humans.
I am happy that you're daughter is safe. But that is no excuse for this excessive vilification of largely ineffectual voting block, that you only met online, that where demanding the same human rights as your daughter should have.
Bullshit you're happy. You were just fucking gloating about Trump winning. If you cared about the human rights of my daughter or any other queer person in America, you wouldn't have had this attitude to begin with because you and everyone else were warned about Trump's genocidal plans for queer people and pretended it did not matter because "Genocide Joe."
You don't get to suddenly pretend you care and expect anyone to buy that nonsense.
You and the others let your actual feelings about queer people be known regularly and repeatedly and your gloating just proved it again.
I'm 100% with you here. People that actually care about human rights would've fought for those rights for their neighbours and mothers and sisters and daughters. You don't get to say that "Trump and Biden are the same" and get to say that you care about human rights too. Because clearly you don't give a shit about anyone in the LGBTQ+ community that is going to live a life of hell now under Trump. Not to mention women having their rights taken away too.
These people just need to admit to themselves and everyone else that the only 'human rights' they give a shit about are their own. Their protest vote or lack thereof was completely fucking meaningless. And so instead of helping people that it's actually possible for them to help, they decided to help no one. Like selfish fucking children that only care about themselves.
No, you are just projecting your grief on to me at the moment.
Is this you?
Because that bit of gloating shows exactly what you feel. There is no projection. You are fine with the genocide of queer people because to people like you there is only one genocide that anyone should care about. And I bet you haven't done shit to try to stop that one either other than bitch about it to people on Lemmy.
But please show how wrong I am and tell me what you've done. I know what I've done- dedicate a good 4-5 hours of my time a week to contacting politicians on behalf of JVP. I went to that piece of shit Larry Buschon's local office personally at least twice a month to tell his staff to make this end even though he's a Republican and so are all of his staff.
Hear hear.
No it doesn't, now you're just being ridiculous.
