Yeah. You're right honestly, it was too much to ask the Democrats to stop funding and arming a genocide. It's not their fault at all, no sir no way. It's the fault of the plaestinian Americans who refused to vote for people committing genocide against their communities.

Youre so smart. So principled. You know exactly who's fault this situation is. It's those damn Palestinians not wanting to vote for people arming genocide against them. How dare they.

The democrats had no choice. They HAD to keep committing genocide against Palestine. Poor Joe, he felt so bad for the Palestinians whenever he signed off on the next missile shipment to Israel. :( He even shed a little tear each time. The poor boy he just had no choice he had to keep arming genocide. He really felt so awful about it the whole time 😔 he'd sometimes even forget that it was happening at all and then remember and feel bad all over again.

It's so normal that you blame the Palestinian Americans who wouldn't vote for people arming the genocide of their people. Yup. There's NOTHING the Democrats could've done differently. You should just keep on defending them forever. You know what, you should do one even better and support them as they continue to slide to the right. Instead of fighting for the party to change, you should continue to blindly support them even as they support the indiscriminate slaughter of starving Gazan children.

I should hope the /s isn't needed here. I'm so fucking tired.

It’s the fault of the plaestinian Americans who refused to vote for people committing genocide against their communities.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that by doing so they made the situation WAY worse. Like a kid that gets mad and just ends up making things worse for themselves.

There is no reality in which the U.S. gives up Israel as its most important ally in the Middle East.

So the options were to minimize the damage, or go wholesale on letting it get worse. They chose the latter. Not very smart.

But hey, at least they can feel vindicated in their heart of hearts as they watch Palestine reduced to ash from the comfort of their homes in America.

Good thing they got rid of Genocide Joe to pave the way Death dealing Donny

Dem cheerleaders are blue maga. Nothing the Dems do are ever part of the problem; it's always someone else's fault.

It wasn't non-voters who forced the Dems and Biden to do the following:

  • For his first official act, Biden fought with his own party to prevent regular people from getting an already promised $600 check; completely ignoring the fact no one expected any PPP loans to be repaid.
  • Pulled a complete 180 on immigration, successfully building even more of the border wall and deporting more people than Trump.
  • Refusing to even entertain the idea of stopping Israel's genocide in Gaza, even at the known expense of voters.
  • Declared the Covid-19 pandemic over by simply no longer testing for it, despite it continuing to overwhelm hospitals and kill people, all so that people could be forced back into work.
  • Ripped pandemic era support away from citizens that was responsible for nearly eliminating childhood poverty and food insecurity; forcing people back into $7.25 an hour minimum wage jobs with no benefits.
  • Refused to do anything about the increasing violence and state hostility towards queer people, especially in red states.
  • Scolded to constituents for not giving Biden enough credit because they insisted the economy was great (but only for the wealthy.) They ignored that inflation (caused solely by corporate price gouging they refused to challenge) grew more than wages. Sure, wages began to outpace inflation, but total inflation since the start of the pandemic is still higher than wage growth in the same period.
  • Made student loan forgiveness a means-tested application process that they then sat on for two months, instead of immediately clearing balances and destroying documents, as if begging SCOTUS to block them.
  • Doing absolutely nothing to restrict the unchecked presidential powers they worked with the GOP to expand for the last several decades, even as the threat of a second, even more overtly fascist Trump administration became more and more likely.
  • Dicked around for 2 years not taking the prosecution against Trump seriously and making this entire ordeal a possibility in the first place.

This election was entirely the fault of the Democratic leadership. They failed. All blue maga does is try to deflect blame from them while they continue to screw all of us.

Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.

[-] Aabbcc@lemm.ee 1 points 19 minutes ago

Dems would rather lose than appeal to what americans actually want.

Also funny to imagine protest voters being powerful enough to sway the election but not powerful enough for Dems to listen to

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 hours ago

Democrats are mentally incapable of even considering the possibility that their losing to Trump two out of the three times they've ran the exact same campaign and candidate is their own responsibility. No, it must be the *checks notes* people who wanted them to be a little more critical of killing Arabs who are responsible. Wonder who you'll blame when Trump inevitably runs for a third term and you decide to copy/paste your campaign strategy and candidate because you've learned abso-fucking-lutely nothing. I'm betting "people who don't worship trillionaires enough", because we'll have some by then.

If only they'd put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.

It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign's polling showed that it was a losing position.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Morals are morals, but they shouldn't be completely uncompromising

In this case we had the status quo on one side and on the other, someone who was itching to throw the dial to 11 across the board.

At this point, any blood spilled as on their hands just as much as the DNC.

[-] McPoops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago

What status quo was there when Dems allow the rollback of everything even when they're in power without even the suggestion of a fight? Unless you mean the status quo of everything continually getting worse under either party's admin.

Coworker: "I hate trump, he should never be president!" Me: "So you're voting Harris?" Coworker: "I don't know if we're ready for a WoMaN president"

Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Imagine believing, after more than a year of unfettered genocide, that the other huge zionist was any better.

Libs are really losing it, Hiding out in these wacky meme bubbles.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

It's almost like the Israel/Palestine issue was completely irrelevant to the election since there were only two choices and both treated it the same. Yet only the Democrat candidate lost votes over it. Funny how they worked. It's almost like someone engineered it

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 15 points 5 hours ago

Why are you so concerned with "protest voters"? If every third party vote went to Democrats, Harris still would have lost.

It's way easier to blame a small amorphous group of people, but why don't you focus on winning? Harris got 6 million fewer votes than Biden. Do you think all those people stayed home because of Palestine?

Take this energy and put it towards something useful. Ignoring all the facts so you can punch left is pathetic.

[-] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 hours ago

It's more about the people who didn't vote at all.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

Isn't that just non-voters? Not voting is viewed by literally everyone as "don't care", not a protest.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 9 points 4 hours ago

There were absolutely protest non-voters.

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

Foreign policy simply doesn't decide elections in the US. I'm sure there were some protests non-voters, but the idea that it was a significant majority of the 6 million is far fetched.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Doesn't matter. Even if they weren't the deciding factor, they still contributed and were still idiots that deserve to be shamed.

[-] bishbosh@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Good luck with that buddy.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

It's more about a trash system with trash candidates where most people's votes don't matter at all.
