Excited to hear the schadenfreude when Dem voters get the treatment they advocated for Palestinians
Ignoring your false premise that Democratic candidates were *in favor of genocide", particularly in a way that any other viable candidate wasn't, and ignoring that Democratic voters weren't in favor of those policies: you still have the fact that an Americans opinion on how our government should pressure another government to act towards another group is fundamentally different from an Americans opinion on how their government should treat them.
You're saying Americans should be genocided because what Israel is doing to Palestine is abhorrent.
I'm saying my sympathy for people who get hurt by what they explicitly voted for is limited to voting for them to not be hurt.
John Fetterman was walking past a group of pro-Palestinian protesters at the Capitol this month when, according to his aides, they accused him of having blood on his hands for supporting Israel in its war against Hamas. The Pennsylvania Democrat then went into his Senate office and grabbed an Israeli flag, his staff said, so he could wave it at the activists while they were being arrested.
Your party is awash in the blood of Gaza's children. And your voters continue to support the leaders that make this holocaust possible.
When your time comes, I wonder how you'll feel when others point and laugh?
Brain damaged Fetterman, the beacon of the Democrat party.
If his fundraising numbers are any indication...
There is a huge difference between voting for a party that fails to be ~~better~~ less awful than another party in one single place (not even being worse!) because they are the only alternative, not because you have any love left for them on the one hand and campaigning for awful policies on the other!
One is a form of harm reduction, the other is a form of actively trying to harm people and that you pretend to not understand that makes me seriously question your motive.
Especially since there was not a single party running that was remotely decent, even if we look into the fringes. The American greens had kinda somewhat a not completely wrong take on Palestine (maybe), but were dogshit about Ukraine, because they were bought out by another imperialist mass murdering regime.
Yeah I’m glad for everyone who didn’t vote or voted for Trump. It’s great that Palestine is free now and no one has died since.
…the WHAT Riviera??
