Hey does Pepperidge farms remember all the fucking morons on Lemmy urging not to vote for Harris because she was allegedly complicit in genocide? I sure as shit do.

Know what's gonna be objectively worse, 100% regardless of the veracity those allegations? The reality that they helped forge instead.

I think people overestimating just how much the average person cares about wars abroad. This applies to every country.

Those millions of democratic voters that voted Biden in 2020, saw that the cost of living keeps going up, inflation happens and correlates with Biden's term, and most people doesn't understand that:

Correlation =/= Causation.

Most of those 7 million Democratic voters that voted Biden but didn't vote Harris are probably thinking: I voted for Joe Biden and nothing changed, why bother voting

I doubt that 7 Million people suddenly cared about a foreign genocide (like when have the average civillian cared?)

The point was to pressure the Dems into giving up on genocide. You wanna talk about "pepperidge farm remembers", I got one for ya

Remember when the Dems thought they could win while actively telling people who were anti genocide to go fuck themselves?

Hey, what's weirder? Not voting for someone committing genocide, or being unwilling to stop committing a genocide even if it costs you the election?

How does it feel that the only thing that Harris had to do was say "I will stop weapons to Israel" and she would of won?

You can't keep blaming the voters when the strategy was at fault. They knew they would lose votes. They thought they could court the centrists and liberal Republicans to make up for it. They were so fucking wrong. And somehow it's not their own fault for having the worst campaign strategy known to man.

Like, Christ. Y'all ain't ever gonna stop trying to blame leftists. You'll be up against the wall with leftists fighting for your life and you'll still be like "can't believe you didn't vote Harris". I can't believe Harris threw away the election over the continued genocide of palastinians. That's fucking crazy. Is that not crazy to you? You don't find it fucking insane that the Dems would rather a fascist state than stop actively committing a genocide? Cause that's the fucking Gambit they ran and look where we are.

Look. I'm pissed. Your pissed. But we are just people with no power. Same with all those voters you wanna complain about. All we have is the ability to yell and vote. And while I voted for Harris out of fucking fear, I cannot blame the people who yelled "I will not vote for you if you keep committing genocide" and were fucking CALLED ON THAT SHIT. What kind of monster gambles with their own base over a fucking genocide?

I do, and was downvoted for calling it out from my last account, and this one for remembering it.

Are these people gaslit or are they doing it for their favorite political celebrities who don't know they exist or care for them?

Anything other than concede to the left. Gotta protect that capital

So the last and final attempt to steer the United States from fuelling genocide failed.
