I’m so fucking tired of seeing this comment, because it’s just so unbelievably dumb. It would make (some level of) sense in posts about Elon taking over the government and immigrants being sent to Guantanamo Bay, but here? Like, just genuinely fucking stupid. And yet people keep fucking making them in all news threads about Palestine.
Can anyone here actually show me examples of people saying that Trump wouldn’t do this? Because all I saw was people saying that Palestine is going to be fucked regardless, and they didn’t want to cast their vote for someone who was going to support genocide. Meanwhile, comments like this one imply those people thought Palestine would be saved by not voting for Dems, which is a straw man.
Did you guys just forget how much happened under the Dems, and think Kamala winning would actually have improved things for Palestine? Is that it? Do you think it’s somehow worse for Palestinians now?
Stop with this comment in Palestine posts already. It’s seriously the dumbest fucking place you can make them. Go make these comments in a post about Trump censoring scientists or something.
EDIT:
So many downvotes across all my comments here (at least 26 in this comment as of right now), but not a single person has managed to actually answer me. No one can show me people who voted third party (or didn’t vote) saying that Trump is better for Palestine, and no one can answer how are things materially and concretely worse for Palestinians under Trump. Someone even tried to lecture me about how Trump is worse for America - as if I hadn’t literally said that already in this fucking comment.
This is why people use the term “Blue MAGA”; it might not be as bad as Trump MAGA, but it’s just as delusional and cult like. The one way in which Dems and Reps are the exact fucking same, is the one that people are choosing to shout about how much better the Dems would have been. If you are one of those people, next time you are thinking to yourself “why are so many people uncritical, unquestioning, believe everything they hear, and have a tribe mentality, etc.”, look to yourself for the answer.
Gonna leave this thread now, so any further replies I will answer when I am back on.
We’re not talking about Reps though. We are talking about people who would usually vote for Dems, but because of their stance on Palestine either didn’t vote or voted third party. Can you show me examples of people on Lemmy who voted third party or abstained that said Reps would be better for Palestinians?
I’ve now read the entirety of the first 2 links, and have not seen a single mention of how Trump would be better for Palestine. If I’m wrong then please provide the quotes where they said Trump would be better.
All that is being said is that people feel disfranchised by the Dems and Kamala. Please actually read what’s there and stop seeing what you want to see. In fact the second link straight says:
I’m still voting for Harris, on the basis that change from public pressure is far more unlikely under Trump.
And they literally say it’s illogical to vote for Trump:
Despite Trump’s horrendous track record, he has gained in their support solely because of how Harris has campaigned. It’s not logical, but it’s hard to be when directly affected by the actions of the current administration and no prospect for change.
On the third I just did CTRL+F for “trump”, and there was nothing about him in regard to Palestine. I didn’t even bother with the 4th.

Reps calling him genocide Joe was indeed implying this

Yes. Verdant Banana.
Asking for such evidence is a classic manipulation technique of conservatives and will be discarded as untrue anyway the moment it’s delivered.
Off course, how convenient for you.
I’m a Socialist btw, but go on with your excuses.
What about calling him Butcher Biden? Or is the Irish MEP also a Russian troll?
Claire Daly is absolutely pro-Russian, yeah.
No longer an MEP thankfully, her and that other clown Mick Wallace were both voted out…

On the road. No time for finding the perfect example. Take that as evidence of absence if you want.
