        Don’t worry, I vowed to never vote DNC after 2016, so if you catch me voting 3rd party, sleep well knowing it was either that or not voting at all

          Those are both equally pointless exercises. Keep doing you and we’ll keep staring at you like you don’t know what you’re doing, because you don’t.

            I find it funny that so many people feel it’s pointless to vote for parties that represent their views. Don’t lie to yourself that we live in a democracy

              Exactly this. People who hate facism telling you you have no choice in your vote. Umm… that’s… kinda fascist…

              How ignorant are you? We vote for someone. They become our representative. That happens in reality. Is money corrupting it? No fucking duh. Big congrats on figuring that out.

              But still. We vote. It happens. We still have elections. Sometimes the underdog wins, which means it’s still legitimate. For now.

              What we’re experiencing is democracy working, but in a situation where propaganda is winning, which is possible in a democracy. It corrupts democracy.

              Our democracy picked Trump because our society is sick.

      How’s that working out for you?

      Harris could’ve eased Israel. Trump is capitulating 1000%. Gaza will be an ash pile in a year.

      Thank fuck you didn’t vote for Harris lmao. What a load of single-issue dogshit.

        When will you people learn “fuck you, accept this candidate or else” doesn’t work? You can’t blackmail and extort your constituents.

          That you supported the genocide of Palestine by not voting or voting 3rd party. Thank you for your understanding.

            It’s still amazing to me that people blame the voters who couldn’t stomach voting for genocide, rather than getting mad at the people in charge who chose genocide over winning

              couldn’t stomach voting for genocide

              That is the issue, Trump 100% supports what Israel is doing. The fact people keep attacking the Democrats over this fucking absurd.

                Yeah, and I didn’t vote for him either, so I don’t see what’s so absurd about that. It’s possible to be against the Democrats for supporting genocide, while also being against Trump for supporting genocide. In fact, I’ve found it easier to just be against genocide no matter who is supporting it.

        Harris would not have eased Israel, she herself said as much.

        This comment isn’t about the 2024 election, it’s about the next one. Can the DNC not provide a candidate who refuses to arm a military committing genocide?

        Can they put forward a candidate who doesn’t want to play an active role in arming a genocide? Is that just too much to ask? Genuinely asking, cause it kind of sounds like that’s what youre trying to say. 2024 election is done, it’s over. This is about what comes next.

          This is about what comes next.

          Pain, suffering, loss of rights, and death because a bunch of dumb assholes stayed home or voted 3rd party instead of accepting that voting Harris was infinitely more responsible and better for our nation than staying home or voting 3rd party?

            No, the pain, suffering loss of rights and death were because the DNC decided that continuing a genocide was more important than winning an election against one of the least popular presidents we’ve ever had.

            Maybe next time they should pick a candidate that the people actually want.

            Thanks for ignoring my whole comment. If you’re defeatist, you’ve decided that it’s all over, then stay out of the conversation. Your genocide defending commentary is not required or requested. If you’re not done, you’re not defeatist then demand that your political party do better.
