I only started using the term after the election, I wish I was paid. It's crazy how I'm expected to shut up about it for the next 4 years. Apparently, asking the dems to change their stance on genocide of everything is too much and everyone would rather stick their head in the sand. The moment someone enables it just a bit more then them, they get none of the blame and we get to wait through 4 years of shit just for them to give us literally the same stance.

Both parties enable it and are complicit. Defending either on the subject is clear bootlicking imo.

There are a disturbing number of people in this thread who feel that condemning Democrats is more important than worrying about what is about to happen to Palestinians.

As if you folks were using genocide as a tool. And it's pretty hard to read.

When you dismiss people condemning the democrats, you essentially send the message that enabling genocide is okay.

I see attacking the voters as a zionist dog whistle, to desensitize on the subject and low key make genocide something that can be overlooked for the "right" reasons.

Insulting to be said I'm using it as a tool. Every thread about it, there's multiple comments talking about the voters and using them as a scapegoat. I'm just responding to them. If I'm using it as a tool, so are you. And you are a lot more vocal about it then me.

I am dismissing people continuing to talk about the election when it's over as if it matters when people are fucking dying.

But you don't care because American politics.

Seems like you're dismissing only the people responding to the behavior negatively and not the ones actually doing the behavior. I find it convenient that you are constantly silent on the genocide in general. I only see you commenting when it comes to pointing the finger at scapegoats. It's easy to notice with the amount you post (not an insult, just an observation, I don't mind high engagement).

It doesn't seem like you are arguing in good faith, since you accuse me of something I'm clearly trying to curtail.

Yes it's annoying when every thread about the genocide has people screaming at the top of their lungs trying to blame voters.

I have more to say on the subject but I was too harsh and got my comment removed so I will leave it at that.

No, I'm dismissing anyone who doesn't give enough of a shit about Palestinians to bother talking to them.

How often have you done it?
