This would almost make sense if they literally didn't vote for more genocide, possibly with even bigger help.
Are you equating abstaining/ voting third party and voting for Trump?
I am. Unapologetically.
Thanks for sharing- always good to add another one of you to my block list
You care to explain how it isnt?
You want me to explain how not voting for trump... isn't voting for trump?
Okay let me word this in a way you can't misinterpret. Explain to me why not voting AT ALL was/is in any way preventing Trump from being elected, even if someone else did win. The logic would be such that if youre not voting you do not care who wins, and not caring who wins, would thereby mean you do not care if Trump wins.
Some people have different priorities.
Participating in the electoral process reinforces existing power structures. To instead challenge them, some advocate for direct action and grassroots organizing as more effective means of enacting social change. Some would rather build alternative systems and communities outside traditional political frameworks, because liberation comes from collective action rather than reliance on electoral representatives.
While I don't like legitimizing electoralism, and I would rather the billions spent on it go towards real tangible needs, I don't abstain, I do vote. So I can't fully defend this position.
Plenty of people who didn't vote probably honestly don't care, but that doesn't mean they actively want Trump. That's just silly to suggest
Some people are just apathetic about it, and a lot of those people likely feel that way because there's no mainstream candidate that actually seems to care about their needs.
They would rather point fingers and blame people who are suffering while at the same time laugh about genocide while screaming about how Kamala’s Genocide wouldn’t have been as bad of a genocide?
This is their priority. Next election cycle they will again repeat the talking points of their cable news pundits ad nauseum, demanding you once again vote for the lesser of two evils.
My absolute pleasure o7
Absolutely. Because that's exactly what happened. Don't worry, I'm sure Trump is gonna stop all that genocide! Any day now...
Therese fucking idiots fell for Eloina's propaganda and handed the Gazans to the butcher.
Now this author thinks they can mobilize to ask for cease fire? Good fucking luck you dumb ass.
How ironic would it be if the fat Cheeto deports them all to Gaza for protesting.
News media was just as complicit, with headlines making it seem like Biden was the holdup on any ceasefire, and not just Israel not actually showing up to the table.
so he gifted them more bombs and promised more of it ?
didn’t he held ukraine aid hostage until congress approved Israel package as well ?
