Yay, no more genocide! I knew both sides were the same.

“I don’t want basic Genocide, I want to evolve to stage 2 Genocidonite”

The "a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide" people were literally saying before the election that Palestinian genocide cannot get worse because genocide is genocide.

So I guess this isn't worse?

I don't get why they're still going at it over this. This lefty infighting is exactly why fascists that hate each other somehow manage to gain ground.

There's nothing wrong with using what little power one had in voting blue. It doesn't mean they're "pro-genocide". We're elbow-deep in a shitty system where we had two awful friggin choices, and the system is designed so that objection is simply removing your voice entirely.

I can understand that rationale on a moral level, to want to abstain from this nonsense entirely. I get it. But also there's no way we could've convinced the majority of a brainwashed country to say "none of these." (That's not even an option on many ballots btw). It'd be awesome! But not realistic.

But for the people actively bashing those who voted blue in last-ditch desperation, seriously can you not understand it? Believe me, we know the Dems bring nothing to the table besides "Not being those guys." I doubt there were so many "Kamala fans" compared to how many were "Not this Cheeto-Toddler shit again" fans.

It's not about "enabling genocide" or not, to those folks. We figured that a blue win would mean a government that could still be swayed by the people to act against violence, even if the chance was slim!

This compared to a tyrannical regime that will simply iron-fist any dissent to their single-minded aims, and actively make the world worse every day.

We had a razor-thin chance to give ourselves just a little more time to change things.

But here we are:

• It was a struggle to motivate people to vote at all.
• Apathetic squabbling over moral nuance didn't stand a chance against zealoutous fanaticism.
• What now? Can we finally demolish the Democratic party for failing us while replacing it with those who would speak for us?

It's time we learn to get along and focus on what is and claw for every inch of ground if we're going to fix anything. Because they aren't going to give us any breathing room while we keep dunking on each other for not being "pure enough for the cause."

they're communicating something about their timeframe… they're announcing they're about to accelerate again…

Seems like the point, no? Diffuse the responsibility such that the worst atrocities are "everyone's fault".

Kinda reminds me of climate change inaction

He even came out to stop Bernie’s proposal to stop arms shipments to Israel, and called the ICC arrest warrant of Netanyahu and Gallant “outrageous” just to drive home the point.

People have called for it but it slowed during the war etc. There's a reason Smotrich waited until after the American election to announce that he was tasking government officials to draw up plans etc.

Gaza violence is not the same as annexing the West Bank.

The smug liberal leans back in his chair.

"That will show them for not voting properly. If only they had voted. I did my one and only civic duty of voting, and it was for the less bad candidate. They're too busy marching and protesting and organizing to see that the only thing we can all do is vote. If only they voted properly."
