Well actually, folks tried to tell Harris stop supporting genocide or it's Trump. You don't blame voters, you blame the individual politician for not listening to the. Kamala is single handedly responsible for all of just as Hillary was.
No. You blame the voters for taking fascism over an imperfect candidate. If you didnt vote for Harris you are to blame and deserve everything that is going to happen.
False. You blame Democrats for choosing it. You're thinking about it the way THEY want you to think about it. Divisively.
Blame the fucked electoral system that is completely flawed from a game theory perspective. Doesn't matter the candidates, their positions, or which election cycle it is, the thing is buggy and broken as shit, and we've never bothered patching it.
I absolutely blame some voters. Especially the ones who refused to vote for a female leader even though they didn't like Trump. Especially the ones who refused to vote at all because neither candidate was "perfect".
I can slice it many ways, but none of those ways are, "Kamala is single handedly responsible".
When enough voters say end the genocide or bust, don't be surprised when you bust after announcing continued support for genocide.
Politicians need to learn to listen to voters. Do not blame voters for this trump presidentency, blame the DNC.
Cut off the nose to spite the face is quite apt here.
I blame the DNC plenty, but I don't blame them solely. There are many, many people that deserve blame.
Things aren't black and white, they're blurred lines of grey.
If the voters say they're black and white it doesn't matter. The politicians need to play ball, not the other way.
Or we just need to guillotine the politicians.
I'm sick of playing a game to cater to them, they need to cater to us.
If you're thinking 'bout playing ball it don't matter if they're black or white, he hee.
So youd rather the candidate whod worsen the genocide and do one here? Great logic that
What did I just say?
Thanks for answering the question, excuse me if your position doesnt make a lick of sense. I would think harm reduction is a worthwhile goal if Gaza is such a travesty, but I guess nuking the whole place would be better apparently
You'd think so right? But the Democrats don't agree.
Eh, enjoy your ended country and your genocide anyway.
No, it is your own ignorance as why you lost and while you'll lose again in 4 years unless you sort yourself out and observe what happened. We tried telling you... and it was always, "c'mon just support the genocide, it'll be worse if you don't." Then it drifted to... "Kamala and Joe don't help fund genocide, it is the Republicans that make them do it. Kamala is trying to protect the Palestinians from being mass murdered."
What response? I've never seen such a long comment with zero actual content.
...that's long to you?
She would've lost a ton of campaign funding if she did. It's not that simple. Millionaire/billionaire interests also have a huge influence on the democratic party.
If you want to blame someone, blame the ultra-rich. They are the ones that have eroded democracy.
Or, i dunno, maybe the Republicans for going full fucking fascism? It's always "Kamala this" or "DNC that" but it's the REPUBLICANS THAT ARE THE FUCKING NAZIS. How is Kamala more responsible for Trump than Mitch McConnell..?
Imo she's not. But the Republican party is just a more blatant tool of the ultra-rich. They are the real enemy.
No arguments from me. Wasn't calling you out personally, just that rhetoric.
