    Is this badly timed or intentional to fracture the not-fascists in America? Priorities, people. Don’t fight your allies when you are at war with a common enemy that is about to destroy all of you.

            Yeah I bet we’d be in exactly the same position right now if non fascist infighting hadn’t handed republicans the house, senate, and presidency.

            I’m sure kamala would have cut funding to everything useful and given executive power to elon musk and sold our national parks to the oil companies and built a private gestapo and legalized stopping brown people for being brown and put massive tariffs on everything and given the CDC to an evil dipshit and I’m sure a blue majority senate and house would have approved all of that.

            Good thing everyone screaming about the genocide made so many people lose hope or it might still be going on.

            Wait, trump did end the palastinian conflict, right?

                If only two candidates had the possibility of winning, and neither of them were going to change that particular issue, then it held no bearing on the election. Pretending that it could be changed and sowing apathy in voters gave full power to the fascists.

                So, is the world a better place now? Or is everyone worse off than we could have been while the genocide is still happening regardless?

              Can you answer two questions for me.

              What is the purpose of having a democracy?

              Is it ever morally correct to affirmatively vote for a genocide?

                1. We haven’t been a democracy since we allowed companies to buy politicians. We’ve had two sides to choose from, kind of, which are: ‘hardly does anything’ and ‘actively makes everything worse for everyone immediately’.

                2. Genocide wasn’t on the ballot. Anyone who thought trump would stop it was wrong, as anyone who thought about it for a second had been telling them.

                So now that those are out of the way, how does that idealistic high horse help every person whose life is now actively worse now?

                  so why are you trying to get people to engage in a sham, then? are you working with the fascists to try and dampen direct action?

                    Direct action does not mean “don’t also vote to make it harder for the fascists.” Only two options were valid for the majority of election positions. We could have bought more time to fill local positions with third parties and progressives, but instead we’re building concentration camps and cutting any progress we’ve made in the last 20 years.

                  1. You’re then caputulating to the rules in an unjust society. If we don’t have a democracy in which we can extract concessions and enact the will of the people, why are you so bent about this “democratic” vote.

                  2. Almost correct. Third parties exist, and not voting exists. The democrats failed to have a platform that made people want to vote for them. You hold the position that the democrats can’t fail, they can only be failed. Blaming voters doesn’t work.

                  Things aren’t better now. They’ve been steadily getting worse under every administration. Electoralist liberal brain rot is keeping your mind in this neat little box where you can’t imagine a different world outside of dogshit and worse dogshit.

              Kamala could have won easily if she and the rest of the corporate dems stopped taking that AIPAC money, meaningfully opposed genocide, and did anything at all to address our absurd wealth disparity, they chose not to because the only thing they actually give a shit about is getting paid
