The Democrats dropped a candy bar on the ground and Trump shit on the floor. They then asked what I wanted for dinner.
Why can Democrats only offer candy bars for dinner when we need fresh fruits, vegetables, and actually healthy foods? Not to belabor the analogy, but the Democrats either don’t know what the right things to do are, or they do know but they don’t care. Do either of those options sound like a party that anyone should vote for?
I assume when we say ‘tankies’ we’re using the term as OP originally did, ie anyone who abstained from voting for Kamala because they don’t support genocide?
‘Tankies’ doesn’t mean anything, it’s a vibes word for “someone to the left of me I don’t like.” And most of the people who didn’t vote in 2024 aren’t leftist, because the American populace just isn’t.
I did not vote Democrat in 2024 because the Democrats are not entitled to my vote by pretending to be less awful than the other team. I did not vote Democrat anywhere on the ticket because I refuse to be complicit in genocide. That is the hard moral line I am taking. There is no excuse for genocide.
In light of comparing him to Trump though, Biden tried to set up a dock to distribute aid to Gazans when Israel tried to block it and continually threatened to stop sending these weapons if Israel bombed certain regions or were undertaking operations with crazy high civilian casualties.
Note that at no point did he stop sending weapons, the one action he could have taken at any time to actually stop the extermination. He did not want the genocide to stop.
And the dock was a joke that was never going to accomplish anything.
Trump’s policy is “let them bomb” and deporting people who disagree.
Evidently Biden’s policy was also “let them bomb,” as shown by the at least 14,000 tons of bombs he sent Netanyahu. And Biden deported more people than Trump 1.
Do you need a source for Biden providing aid and pressuring for Israel to deescalate while also funding them?
I don’t need a source to know that if he wanted to deescalate he could have just stopped sending them weapons at any time.
That’s not an excuse not to protest, but it is hypocritical of you guys to cause it to be much more risky to protest by allowing Trump to win and then try to blame others for not taking the risk.
We “caused it”? We “allowed Trump to win”? Who do you think your audience is? Nobody here voted for Trump. Unless you’re equating “not voting for Harris” with “voting for Trump” which is just baby-brained nonsense. The only thing that’s a vote for Trump is a vote for Trump.
I am boycotting American goods, and I have a recurring donation to the food bank to help bring aid to Gazans and other starving people.
Legitimately way more useful than voting.

but you guys by staying home that election sabotaged this goal for us both and made the genocide worse than before
Democrats lost all on their own. A bunch of fringe internet shitposters do not have anywhere near enough power to sway an election lol.
The genocide was already bad under Democrats. No, we didn’t forget that Genocide Joe sent Israel hundreds of shipments of weapons.
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.
Voting for Democrats would not have lead to fewer Gazan lives lost, because, again, the Democrats don’t give a fuck about Gazan lives.
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 about your values.
Please look in a mirror.
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
No amount of pressure is going to change the Dem’s minds. They do not give a fuck about you and never have.
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.
Leftists did not cost the Democrats the election, Democrats just suck.
This simply would not have happened under Kamala.
It was already happening under Biden.

Being against Harris/the Democrats does not mean we are in support of Trump/the Republicans. This might come as a surprise to you, but we hate Trump and the GOP, too.

She promised to continue providing material support to Israel’s genocide, I’m not sure where you got the idea she would have been better.
