Joe Biden and his administration sent 8 billion dollars worth of hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs in January. He sent 20 billion in August. Your quotes aren’t necessary.
Comment on U.S. sending Israel more than 20,000 assault rifles that Biden had delayed: sources

Good thing Palestinian protestors don’t vote for “Genocide Joe”. /s

We get it, that wasn’t enough for people like you so you help elect Trump and now you’ve got the genocide you really wanted.

It’s more about holding the dems accountable. They are supposed to represent their constituents, instead they chose to represent genocide to the point of losing an election against trump of all people.
The bad guys in all this are ultimately the ones that enabled genocide and not the voters who abstained (other then trump and his fanatics obviously). The democratic party basically aimed for a low turn out and if we aren’t critical of them, we will get the exact same energy next time.
I toed the line and voted strategically but the whole time, I was asking myself what the fuck they were thinking. Now that it’s over, I can’t really blame normal people that were conflicted about genocide.

It didn’t hold Dems accountable. It got Trump elected because that was the intent all along.
There are many constituents that support Israel. As you pointed out yourself it is a politicians job to represent those constituents.
The bad guys in this are the bad faith actors that use Gaza to justify helping Trump get elected.
They ALL claim they voted for Harris while in the same breath spreading FUD towards Harris.

They’re both genocidal. It’s kinda obvious to anybody with a clue.

You mean the dude who full supported this genocide and led us to this situation?
Yes. Good thing nobody voted for that trash.

The people like yourself, that complained about our only choice other than fascism, are the ones to blame for getting fascism elected.

Just admit you thought that republicans would fuck up so bad that you would be able to start a revolution

Everyone who voted third party still wouldn’t have made Kopmala president.
Maybe instead of blaming the minority of people who have decency you blame the 80% of white men and 60% of white women who voted for Trump?
I mean, Kamala wanted to be trump so bad didn’t she? Supporting israel, saying trump was too soft on the border, dunking on trans people, surely it’s our fault for not voting for a ghoul.
Get over yourself.

I blame everyone who didn’t vote for Harris. They all contributed to Trump and his fascist takeover.
Gaza protestors were tricked into voting against their own best interest and that is a lesson that should be learned from instead of repeated.
But bad faith actors like yourself don’t care about Israel or Gaza. You are just trying to get less people to vote against fascism.
stink@lemmygrad.ml 3 weeks ago
Bad faith actors? If you don’t care about my people’s plight for self determination why should I care about yours?
It’s a two way street, the policy on Palestine didn’t change between Biden or Trump. Maybe blame your own party for that.
UsernameHere@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
You don’t care about “your people’s” plight as we can prove with Trump’s 2nd term.
Policy on Palestine definitely did change. Protestors are disappearing and Trump plans to own Gaza and much more.
This is the result of bad faith actors like yourself helping Trump get elected.

has to be one of the biggest left wing fumbles i’ve ever seen
Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
it was so blatantly naked, too. we had to cordon trump from power, vote the republicans into irrelevance, and then launch a progressive political movement. now trump has near infinite power, voting may never happen again, and our progressive movement has to operate in an environment where participation may legitimately get you killed.
this is why accelerationism doesn’t work. does chuck schumer seem like he’s learned his lesson to you? have you actually punished the democrats for running to far right? or have you punished uninformed voters and yourself for not knowing how horrifically bad donald trump is?
the elites have always, and always had enough access to protect them. and running mutual aid networks is not somehow easier when everyone is dependant on them rather than just some.

If you believe they were genuinely left wing and not concern-trolling shills.

If it works it’s real, if it fails it was never real progressivism, actually.
