I’m a lib but I want to have a dialogue that’s less shit throwing and more genuine.

Just because someone is against Harris/the Democrats does not automatically mean they are in support of Trump/the Republicans.

Agreed.

This might come as a surprise to you, but we hate Trump and the GOP, too.

Not a surprise, totally know that and appreciate you guys for it.

We’re just not under any illusions that the Democrats are going to fix anything.

So neither am I, but I feel frustrated because we need to be protesting and making noise on this issue.

Its frustrating because our shared goal is to end the genocide, but you guys by staying home that election sabotaged this goal for us both and made the genocide worse than before.

If you focus on the material conditions of Gaza and think “which vote is going to lead to less Gazan lives lost” voting for Kamala seemed like a no brainer.

It’s only when you bring your own ego into it “well I will never support genocide” that comes across like you’re willing to sacrifice Gazan lives to feel self righteous.

Had many of these tankies voted Kamala instead of staying home it would be so mucy easier to form a protest and get the pressure cooking on the dems

But because they stayed home (regardless of justification you might have) we’ve now lost the right to protest and many university students, scientists and academics are being disappeared into the night for speaking out.

This simply would not have happened under Kamala.
