Oh, you mean that thing Israel had before Trump won?
"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"
Trump claiming credit for ceasefire and then destroying the region was always Bibi's plan. The propalestine protestors were against the administration for refusing to acknowledge that the israeli's were not negotiating in good faith. Had they played hard ball things might have been different.
Oh look at that, exactly what literally every sane person predicted would happen is happening.
Yep all those idiot protest voters getting exactly what trump said he would do.
Bullshit. I voted against my conscience because I knew orange would harm people I love. It wasn’t enough.
Dems didn’t offer anything compelling because they are a failed party that can only drive votes with threats of even worse. It’s pretty easy to not fund a genocide and lie and say it isn’t happening when it clearly is. Dems can blame only themselves for poor turnout.
...I voted against my conscience because I knew orange would harm people I love. It wasn’t enough.
correct! because something like ~~30~~ 90 million Americans didn't vote because they were told:
- both sides are the same
- nothing will change
- two party systems don't work
what's worse is that they believed the lies! so your vote lost impact because they couldn't be bothered to vote.
Dems didn’t offer anything compelling because they are a failed party that can only drive votes with threats of even worse.
the threats didn't come from the dems. they came from the magats. and guess what...they were credible threats! I guess those ~~30~~ 90 million voters wished they had got off their fat asses and voted now.

you make it sound easy but agreements between nations are anything but that. last time I checked both the dems and repubs were running the government..how convenient of you to forget that.

yeah when the choice is between horrible and double super extra horrible, it’s hard to get really motivated to vote for horrible….
it’s pretty much the genocide version of the trolly problem. palestine genocide is on one track, on the other track, there’s the palestinian genocide, trans genocide, hispanic genocide, and entire planet ecocide…
the choice is obvious but not particularly inspiring… at least under harris there was some hope of lobbying her to stop… protest at the whitehouse now and trump will try to have you shot… hopefully they refuse next time.
The bigger problem was that when you brought up domestic genocides before the election, it got handwaved away as you not caring about Palestinians and also dismissed as not going to happen. I saw this over and over on Lemmy, along with the ludicrous idea that once a genocide has started, it literally can't get worse because genocide is genocide.
yeah i swear lemmy was getting astroturfed with the “genocide joe” spam
No need to astroturf when there are a huge number of self-righteous people who think the only cause that matters is their cause.
I do have to wonder how many of the people who earnestly bought the whole "a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide" people ever talked to a Palestinian in their lives, let alone asked them what they thought of that idea.
... you know that's really an apt comparison. Never thought about it that way but really it's like a trolley problem except it is their job to shout for people to come up and pull the lever.
It's no surprise they had trouble finding volunteers.

I would be curious to see the numbers but I don't think the pro Palestine protest voters cost the Democrats the election. It definitely didn't help, but the Dems shat the bed in way more ways than just the Palestine situation.
Pretty much. They didn't offer anything their constituents wanted except for escape from DJT.
Unfortunately "We aren't Donald Trump" wasn't a winning strategy two of the three times they tried it.
I wonder what two terrible choices we are gonna have in 2028. Watch it be like fuckin Nancy Pelosi with an exoskeleton holding her up vs Dan Crenshaw who will have replaced his eye patch with a gun by then.
