Let them who are most pro-war get to fight on the front lines.
Idc if it’s a one sided genocide, this fluffy politician who wouldn’t last a 3 mile ruck should get to experience wtf he’s actually advocating.
Come on, you know the most pro war are the fat cats and their kin that will never be anywhere near the front lines.
Wouldn’t it be nice though.
Something, something, “Genocide Joe”, argle bargle, bOtHsIdEs, people!
Gaza protest voters: shocked Pikachu face.
I’ll keep repeating it: only those feeble minded enough to be manipulated by our foreign adversaries bought into that bullshit.
Nothing else convinces me that we live amongst NPCs more than liberal voter apathy over the war in Gaza.
All the people who were screeching to abandon Harris because of Gaza seem awfully quiet now
I mean what’s there to say? Yeah we know Trump fucking sucks what do you want them to do? There’s barely anything to say when he hasn’t done anything ywt.
He already said he’s giving Israel a blank cheque. Not sure how that’s “nothing”
Okay that’s fair I didn’t know that, but still the only thing that can be said about that is “Trump bad”, which we all already know.
Gosh but I heard that all genocide is equal and Biden is literally the devil. Do you mean that having a meaningful impact on whether Palestinians live or die was worth swallowing my pride and voting for Harris? But isn’t my ideal that no Palestinian should die more important than actually saving the lives of Palestinians?
/s I absolutely can’t fucking stand people who were unable to realize that less harm would, in fact, be less harmful.
I have a feeling a lot of them were not American. The bot farms are quiet now because they got what they wanted.
Too bad the actual fascist Americans who elected Trump are still with you. It’s always someone else’s fault not America’s.
Or they are just quiet because they realize they’ve placed Gaza into the hands of Netanyahu’s allies in the US and there’s literally no way to defend this outcome.
I sort of get it. I voted Stein in 2016 because I don’t like how the DNC handled Bernie. But i was willing to accept 4-8 years under a Republican being a potential outcome. (Not like we can’t vote them out if things get real bad … right? RIGHT?
Accepting the utter destruction of Gaza as a potential outcome in order to protest the destruction of Gaza is not something I can really grasp.
Or they are just quiet because they realize they’ve placed Gaza into the hands of Netanyahu’s allies in the US and there’s literally no way to defend this outcome.
“They” didn’t. All of America did. I still don’t understand how anyone thinks Gaza had anything with Harris’s loss. I very much doubt the 10 million non/protest voters all didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza, or that there are even 10 million people in the US that care about Gaza enough to accept another Trump term.
Not attempting to assign blame. But we all have to live with the reality of our choices now.
You say “unable to realize”, I say “intentionally pushed a false narrative to increase voter apathy”.
Especially since many of them refused to engage any discussion on how much worse Trump would be.
Yeah that cease fire Biden negotiated was way better!
Oh, wait.
Well it’s not like Biden/Harris actually tried for a ceasefire. There’s really not much change other than the quiet part being said out loud.
Not much change yet… like I said in another thread, let’s just save this comment and revisit it in 2025, shall we?
The escalations we’re going to see over the coming months were going to happen with a Republican as President or Democrat. The past 13 months has shown Israel can get away with virtually whatever they want. They were never intending on stopping regardless of the outcome of the election.
Nah, they’re clamoring for Biden to hurry up and stop shipment of arms to Israel and get the ceasefire some before Trump gets into office. Too little to late guys, Israel won’t care, won’t do shit now that they know trump won.
That and Israel doesn’t NEED our weapons to keep doing what they’re doing, they never have.
Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran and does nothing to stop the genocide.
That and Israel doesn’t NEED our weapons to keep doing what they’re doing, they never have.
Uh… Seriously look up what political scientists have to say about this. Israel uses too much, well, everything compared to what they can produce themselves.
Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran
And how is that a bad thing? Israel wouldn’t be able to do this shit if the US wasn’t protecting it from its neighbors.
Israel is, depending on who’s counting, between the 8th and 10th largest weapons dealer in the world

They don’t need our help executing a people they have spent decades marginalizing.
That guy is already beating his wife, if I stop giving him hammers to do it with, that other guy that’s pissed off about it all might do something bad
Are they? I see the comments still full of them.
It was all too predictable.
Donvict is in the pocket of the magaforbrainz that think Jews have to be in Israel to bring about the sick fantasy from their book club. Even if he doesn’t actually believe in xtianity at all…
Everyone pointing at people that didn’t vote for Harris over Gaza like this is some gotcha moment are totally missing the point. If Gaza was your primary concern (like if you and your family are Palestinian perhaps) neither candidate was going to do anything for you at all. Harris paid a tiny bit of lip service to Gaza two days before the election after months of shutting down and ignoring everyone demanding ceasefire.
I voted Harris purely out of harm reduction, but she offered nothing to anyone on the left. The DNC assumes everyone that is queer or bipoc or a woman owes them their vote and then used the platform to court non-existent center right voters.
But nah, let’s pretend that Harris, who took Biden’s positions wholesale, would have done something different as if they weren’t currently in power. Let’s pretend they would have done something to restore abortion rights too, or tackle climate change or raise the minimum wage when they’re so busy trying to get fascist votes and not piss off the coporate donor class.
The Democratic party needs to be rebuilt from scratch or not rebuilt at all.
that Harris, who took Biden’s positions wholesale
Except for the instances where she moved further to the right, like on capital gains tax.

Yes, yes. We get your “point”. Harris’s policy on Gaza was bad, so of course the clear solution was to hand the Presidency to someone who would make it worse. To send a message.
Good job, guys. Your message was loud and clear. I’m sure that in 2028, Democrats might have a slightly more pro-Palestine agenda. Maybe. Until they realize there’s a hell of a lot more Jewish voters that would be even more pissed off. Lesson learned. I’m sure the people of Palestine who will lose their land, their families, and their lives between now and then will take solace in knowing that you sacrificed their lives on their behalf to send a political message in a country 5000 miles away. I’m sure that’s exactly what they wanted.
Except that basically every angle except geopolitics, MIC profits, and AIPAC money, pointed towards curbing Israel/Bibi as a a good move. Even a free and independent Palestine has supermajority support - from a Nov-Oct poll of American Jewish voters:
Jewish voters… priorities include a major speech proposing a Palestinian state and diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab states (72 percent) and increasing humanitarian aid to Palestinians (71 percent). There is also significant support (66 percent) for sanctioning Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich for aiding violent settler attacks against Palestinians.
Emphasis mine. Review the data if you care, but the continuation of Bidens policies was a huge self own. Resolve the issue and Republicans/Russian messaging of ‘Genocide Joe’ falls flat.
Those Palestinians were going to lose their land, families and lives either way. Biden has done nothing to stop Israel, neither would Harris. She made it abundantly clear that “protecting” Israel was more important than stopping genocide.
Gaza didn’t cost Harris the election. Maybe Michigan, but even that’s a stretch. Democrats lost ground in literally every demographic other than 100k+ income because, again, they campaigned to the right and offered absolutely nothing to the left.
If Harris told any other assumed Democratic group to fuck off this hard, nobody would be surprised they didn’t vote for her. If she ran as pro-life to court Trumpers and her support from women collapsed we wouldn’t be screaming about them getting in line, we’d be talking about Harris betraying those voters. This is no different, it just affects a far smaller voting bloc that people feel comfortable scapegoating.

Let’s be realistic. Israel could raze Palestine any time it wants. They have the backing of the US and a vastly superior military. If Israel thought Biden and Harris would support Israel annexing the West Bank, they’d have done it over a year ago. In fact, they specifically said they’re annexing the West Bank because they have Trump’s backing.
If you were going to lose your land, would you rather lose your land X months or years from now, knowing you at least have a roof over your head until then and being able to hold on to the hope that maybe things might get better, or would you rather just wake up tomorrow with a giant orange bulldozer gleefully running over your house? Saying “It was going to happen anyway” is not only demonstrably false, but also doesn’t mean that the solution to that problem is making it happen faster. If Israel were going to annex the west bank under a Biden administration, he’d have done it already.
Israel is currently genociding Palestinians under a Democratic president, they didn’t need Trump’s approval for anything. The bulldozers are already running, the people are already having their lives destroyed.
Again, I voted Harris for harm reduction, so I see your point about Harris possibly being better for Gaza in the long run, but it’s not “kill my friends now” or “kill my friends later” it’s “kill my friends now” or “kill my friends now and maybe, just maybe, stop sometime around the midterms when it’s politically convenient and only if Harris doesn’t need to keep getting the fascist vote”. I don’t blame Gaza voters for looking at that choice and holding out for what they really want, which is “stop killing my friends now”.
Something, something Republicans are peacemakers.
Proposed Secretary of State is against Gaza cease fire.
You reap what you sow, kids!
lol what the fuck else could anyone expect? He’s an invertebrate.
A few very vocal
dumbfucksusers of the last months need to be tagged here.
