Strawman argument. People didnt abstain from voting for Harris because it would "save" Gaza. They did it because both candidates shared the common ideal of bombing Gaza to smithereens and they refused to support that.
It's incredibly disgusting for people like you to now mock others for opposing genocide just because your preferred candidate thought that supporting slaughter was more important than defeating her opponent and it all blew up in her face.
Maybe you should hitch your wagon to better candidates if you don't want to be disappointed. That's on you not anyone else. Even now more than a year after the election was decided, you still think standing alongside genocide and Dick Cheney was the right call and can't understand why you lost. You are the company you keep, buddy.
You make a good argument but I always get nervous when someone says "people like you". It sounds kind of arrogant/superior. If that was your intention then so be it.
This person is using the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children as a tool to mock others all because they're mad that a stranger didn't win a contest. I don't see what they're doing as any different than what Republicans are doing now in comment sections across the internet over the murder of Renee Good.
This user and those Republicans share a lot more ideologically than either would care to admit, so I have no problem with my comment sounding arrogant/superior to their abhorrent behavior.
