Getting mad at people for not being willing to condone a genocide is a really wild take to me.
If you're saying that genocide over there is okay so that genocide over here doesn't happen as quickly then I don't really know how to argue that.
We got to this point because the Democrats themselves have been toothless for much of the last 25 years, and prop up the same system that the Republicans are fast tracking even more. The dems did not lose this election just because of the Gaza vote, they lost it because they wouldn't listen to or support the regular people on the street. Dems had the chance to enshrine things into law - they controlled senate and house for the first two years of Biden. They did not codify any protections for trans rights or abortion rights, then used both as a fundraising event.
Over 50% of white men and women voted for Trump this time around.
So instead of getting mad at people who could not conscientiously condone a genocide, why not get mad and dismantle a system wherein a few billionaires get to buy the entire world and commit genocides on a massive scale? The US has been bombing half the world for almost its entire history. That doesn't change because Republicans are in power or Democrats are in power.
The current system is between ultra rich and everyone else. If everyone else keeps shitting on each other that won't change.
You seem to have forgotten your previous post where you said, "It's the same amount of genocide."
No it isn't, now there is more genocide. Of brown people, of queer people, and apparently they're coming for the indigenous as well.
But arguing about the election is far more important than acknowledging that, isn't it?
So you are ok with genocide then?
That's a question focused solely on deflection and you know it, lol.
