"This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran."

    It’s not hostility for being against genocide.

    Bullshit.

    It’s hostility for ignoring the genocide you have triggered back in the US. For people who were supposedly against genocide, you sure did help trump get elected, which made the thing you supposedly “care” about, about 100 times worse.

    You just want someone to blame now that your second favorite candidate is carrying out your only policy for you. If people who don’t adore everything netanyahu does weren’t worth listening to, you don’t get to blame us when what we tried to warn you would happen happens.

    Hope your moral righteousness can stop ICE.

    Your moral cowardice made this happen.

      You know what made this happen is a bunch of so-called leftists who make voting for the President (or even worse, withholding their vote) their only political act.

      We could change the world if we’d unite and get involved in primaries and get out and inspire and educate. But instead we sit at our computers and shitpost and laud our own supposed moral superiority and deride other leftists who are only slightly different than us while everything in the real world just gets incrementally worse and worse.

        WHAT FUCKING PRIMARIES? We didn’t have any last year because your shitty wing of the party decided we shouldn’t have a choice. After all, we might choose someone who wasn’t hell bent on wiping out Gaza like party leadershit wanted.

          I’m specifically talking about EACH AND EVERY FUCKING PRIMARY. No one except a small bunch of boomers ever bothers to take part in these. You’re proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries. This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

            You’re proving my point by instantly assuming that presidential primaries are the only primaries.

            The party denying us all a choice because they prefer genocide to letting their voters choose their candidate is emblematic of a deeper issue within the party and its primary system. I can provide additional examples of the party’s malfeasance during the primaries. That was just the most glaring.

            This is a crisis that has only been enabled over decades by the apathy and lack of participation of leftists.

            This is a crisis because the party runs dishonest primaries when it deigns to run them at all.

      My “moral cowardice” led me to vote for kamala because my trans sister is now fearing for her life.

      I hope you can look at your Hispanic friends and tell them you have moral righteousness as they are arrested and shipped off to prison.

        I voted for Harris too. but since I had the fucking temerity to criticize genocide, you’ve decided that I’m to blame for her losing.

        Hiding behind the vulnerable minorities your party throws under the bus every chance it gets in order to justify genocide is low and shameful.

            I never once advocated for not voting, voting third party, or voting for trump. Not a single time. All of my advocacy was for the party dropping its support for genocide.

            I get that centrists don’t like that because they preferred to lose than stop selling weapons for genocide.

                By your own logic I guess you’re a centrist because your “moral weakness” allowed you to vote for kamala

                Vote like you want? No, you can’t do that and still oppose genocide. Oppose genocide without saying how you voted? You must be at fault for not voting like I want!

                Can’t win with genocide loving garbage. It’s clear that you don’t care how anyone votes. You just want silence from people who don’t agree with your genocide.

                    You just want silence from the people who don’t like selling arms to murder Palestinians with.

                    During the run up to the election, pro-genocide centrists (there has never been nor ever will be another kind) kept saying “you don’t have to agree with harris about everything in order to vote for her!” Guess that was a fucking lie to get chumps like me to vote for genocidal shit.

                    Centrists scream that progressives are unreasonable for having standards. They holler “purity test!” any time they encounter criticism for anything they do, no matter how reprehensible. But when someone actually compromises their standards like centrists claim to want, they then scream at them for not applying one of the purity tests they claim to hate.

                    You just want silence from your left while you move so far to the right that genocide is on the table where you want it.
