  • child child child, you can’t throw the palestinian genocider label on someone who literally just said ‘never’. it doesn’t work like that. just like trying to tell people they’re trump supporters because they don’t support harris.

    it. literally. does. not. work. that. way. we are not responsible for the actions others take. we are only responsible for our actions. our vote is a form of action. harris refused to commit to upholding american laws to protect palestinians and indeed promised to continue the current administrations policies. she lost those votes. she refused to commit to protecting khan, she lost our votes. trump also lost our votes.

    trump’s future actions are his and his voters to own not ours. the only difference between you and trump is you’re a maybe genocide. whereas harris and trump are definitely genocides.



  • @YeetPics@mander.xyz I’ll tell you this once: If your defense of a position is to blame a group for pointing out the shittiness of your position is a psyop, propaganda, etc. You’re morally, and strategically bankrupt.

    No number of tankies helping could tank a candidate more thoroughly than harris tanked herself. both through genocide and not addressing the basic needs of americans.

    Food (people are struggling due to inflation and the lack of labor reform), safety (arab americans family and friends are dying directly due to the biden admins actions), shelter (again people are struggling to afford a place to sleep).

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    these words literally represent the three things above. maybe you recognize them. Next time you think its okay to discard someones right to life at the alter of personal comforts recognize that you’re an asshole. It doesn’t matter if they’re next door or across the planet.



  • Lets say you have a neighbor and every time you invite them over for tea they shit on your carpet.

    Do you continue inviting them over? if your answer is no, well now you understand why a large portion of the american electorate didn’t show up to vote again. the democrats need to stop shitting on our carpet. for the record we don’t invite the republicans over either. they shit everywhere.

    You havent sent signals strong enough to demonstrate you wouldn’t shit on the carpet again. Trump, well, when he gets close to burning the house down again we’ll probably show up with the firetrucks. probably. depends on how much hes threatening our local communities. if hes smart he wont



  • news flash: he, like many other leftists are welcome to say whatever they want. doesnt mean we give a shit what he says. we often agree with him on things and support them. but ‘bernie says blah’ only gets your foot in the door for about 3 seconds until we look into what he said. if the reasoning behind it is wanting we reject it.

    If you think bernie represents the left, hell if you think anyone represents the left you’re sorely mistaken.

    that being said: many leftists told you exactly what you needed to hear the entire year you needed to hear it.

    • the genocide is not okay.
    • it will impact our votes.
    • a few of us have literally been screaming it for the last 2 months in the public sphere as you’re all aware.

    if you think we needed to shift our position. you were very sadly mistaken. both morally and strategically. as you’re now witnessing. We didn’t go out and pressure our friends for harris, why? because harris didn’t budge and you spent more time telling us how your grand ‘lesser evil’ strategy was the optimal behavior, even more than tell harris to fuck off on genocide!

    guess it wasnt so optimal since you know, people tuned you out and you lost. oops. You see the thing is a lot of leftists are actually very quiet. they spend their time with their friends enjoying life and as a network we signal to each other when its important to vote. we did that in 2020 for biden and we conditioned it on him having a single term.

    Biden, as we expected, went counter to his promises on a number of factors. so we didn’t quietly send our signals to our group. My roommate and I for example were talking last week about the election and they were like ‘looks like another 4 years of trump, and I was like ‘yup, gonna suck’’. we both still voted. but we didn’t do what we often would do and be like ‘yeah harris is worth getting the gang together and disrupting our shit to get our networks of apathetic voting friend out’

    why? hand waves the last 4 years and the last 6 months in particular. genocide is not a stance you shift on.




  • That 4% represented 25 electoral college votes fam.

    But yes the economy as well. Go look at Michigan and Wisconsin and keep the arabs in mind. When you play with your numbers.

    And all she had to do was say she’d apply american laws to israel. And not let her campaign shit on arabs. Shame really.

    As for the economy… Yeah ‘nothing specificly comes to mind’ probably isnt the best choice to run. My khan! 😞😮‍💨

    Hopefully you’ll remember this election. The dynamics were very similar.

    People like myself were pissed and had to deal with peoples lesser evil nonsense. When biden won the primary due to warren/bernie split ticket. We were very explicit about it (all during the tail end of the primary) which is what led biden to that statement.

    Biden was forced out due to two factors: No left wing support (dont break strikes, commit genocide’s joe). And no corporate support. (Because of the wonder kid khan)

    Harris then tried to cater to the corporate douches and genocide joes. You all found out as a result what we’ve been telling you you.
