    The Democratic Party is shit, and they did all kinds of wrong to Palestine. But did not voting make it any better for Palestine? No. Worse? Possibly. Economy? Worse. Human rights? Worse. International relations? Worse. Ukraine? Worse. Authoritarianism and fascism? Worse. Corruption? Worse. General fucking common sense and decency? Worse. And the list goes on. The hate is not because of compassion for Palestine. The hate is because NOTHING has improved for Palestine, a whole lot of other things has gotten significantly worse, and this was entirely predictable.

      there’s ZERO difference in the policy. Trump at least got the temporary ceasefire deal done, no matter how temporary. And Trump saying the quiet part out loud is pissing a lot of people off and waking more and more people up about the issue.

      Economy?

      the economy has been FUCKED since 2008. it NEVER recovered. we really really really need to stop conflating the “economy” with the stock market. we aren’t billionaires. ffs.

      Human rights? / International relations?

      depends tbh. i don’t think the US becoming a pariah state is necessarily a bad thing. perhaps people will stand up against US supported/funded genocide more? other atrocities the US supports/does regularly as well.

      complaining about human rights abuses within US borders is way too hypocritical for me. don’t complain when your exported totalitarianism that you supported/ignored comes home. i fucking tried to you stupid liberals they’d bring it home and turn it against you.

      General fucking common sense and decency?

      jfc… optics above everything else? Biden and Trump are both did/doing genocide. Biden was better though because he was more polite about it??? sorry but fuck off

      It is amazing that you can excuse genocide. If they not just allowed a genocide to happen but enabled it and protected Israel from consequences what makes you trust them on anything else?

        It is amazing how you can justify your complicity in the genocide by purity testing the only party that you had a chance of getting to listen to you.

        The Democrats are feckless little bitches and Joe Biden has been a racist Zionist piece of shit his entire life. Kamala Harris laughed funny and didn’t stand up to her boss while campaigning for his job, but maybe would have listened or at least been milder in her support than what you allowed to happen.

        We literally have double-Hitler now (Trump+Netanyahu).

        So, maybe look deep into your soul and realize that the “we just needed to vote harder” performative lib shit you are doing has been the fucking problem the entire time. Jillistein.

        That you falsely attribute such horrific views and sentiments to me is disingenuous and a truly shitty thing to do. You’re doing nothing but dissuade me from engaging on the subject. Just so you know.

      We all knew that Trump would be awful, which makes it so terrible that Biden & Harris chose genocide over winning the election. Apparently, it was that important to them.
