    They should’ve voted for democrats, who also love genocide. Seriously, the only “leopards ate my face” I see are democrats insisting on supporting genocide and then predictably losing support from voters. These voters were just desperate for any possibility of change, no matter how slim. This is understandable when the change they were hoping for was to not have a president that supported genocide. This doesn’t deserve mockery, no matter how misguided.

      So the better choice was the guy endorsed by literal nazis, who are known for… checks notes their genocidal inclinations?

        The “better choice” argument is used by democrats to follow republicans deeper and deeper into the right wing because as long as democrats are slightly less fascist, they’re technically the “better choice”. Now we’re at the point where democrats are full-throatedly supporting genocide. You know, something that literal nazis are known for. Put that in your notes.

        How? I voted for Harris. It was the democrats who supported genocide and then lost against a clown for the second time.

                I can vote for them while criticizing their support for genocide and their generally idiotic political strategy. The other party being worse doesn’t change this.

                  you are absolutely correct for this. really infuriating to see the bad faith argumentation coming out.

                  what needs to happen is constructive and significant criticism of the party, but it seems the moment you dare do that without using your vote as some kind of tone tag all bets are off and you’re MAGA.

                    yeah no, it’s not fucking okay to shove assumptions down someone’s throat. you don’t get away with “sawwy,” do fucking better and be fucking kind.
