Yeah, we know. Those folks are just reminding you, why.

Read the room Harris and stop justofying your mistakes
Kamala Harris ran on a pro-genocide platform and was very supportive of Israel. This was one of the reasons why she lost.
What, specifically, was the "pro genocide platform"? Because I remember that election pretty well, and I don't recall any advocacy of genocide, at least not from Harris.
Let's be honest for one second. Here's how American politics on Israel actually breaks down:
Democrats: often criticize Netanyahu but never actually cut off aid. However, several Democrats already opposed continuing aid to Israel and the rest of the party conceivably could listen to growing opposition to Israel's war.
Republicans: actively hate all poor brown people and want Israel to kill them all. They will also use deportations and any other means available to silence anyone voicing opposition to said killing of all poor brown people.
I get that neither choice is perfect, but I really can't see why it's a struggle.

This thought process makes no fucking sense though because the other guy did too...
Kamala was very obviously the "better" choice for Palestine.
Yes, she's still a shit choice for Palestine.
But I don't understand this logic, this person is going to let a genocide happen if we elect them, the other guy is going to let a genocide and a fascism happen.
Someone make it make sense

I absolutely despise trump. With that said, I hope we never see her as president. She's insanely out of of touch with the common folk. I'd much rather see AOC or that Texas democrat dude with the ears
I will take any functioning adult who I can not easily visualize mentally as a 1940's German officer.

She could have been if she didn't fuck up the Gaza situation...
Not surprising after she banned Gazan supporters and a local Democrat legislator at her own DNC rally.
Absolute garbage mound of a candidate and campaign that completely deserves to be thrashed by the very constituency she refused to acknowledge.
Bunch of you failure shills in this comments still thinking this was a progressive candidate need to look at literally any of her responses to questions about public policy. Nothing but a 1:1 copy of Biden's equally shit tier response to major internal and external issues, and very obviously way more right leaning than Obama.
I still remember some of you outright denying the existence of Gaza protestors at DNC events, as if any news outlet reporting it was a Russian compromised asset, and any user on lemmy.world supporting such action was a lemmy.ml Chinese spam bot in disguise.
Ah yeah, good thing we got all that but way worse with how people voted.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are “laughing at us right now.”
And they're loving the goons continuing their antidemocratic work of perpetually attacking Harris. Crisis averted: a black woman didn't get in the hot seat where she could have actually moved the needle toward progress. True progressives understand why Rosa Parks was picked even though she wasn't first. The purity test bullshit on the left is a successful bait campaign by the right.
Absolute horse shit. If you really believe that Harris would have helped the Palestinians i would like to hear why think that is. Condemning what Israel is doing is such a no-brainer, but it does not present any actions, does it? And thats what the Palestinians needed and still need. She was the god damn Vice-President of the United States of America, a country without which the massacre on Gaza would not be possible in the first place. So the god damn least she could have done was to speak out while in a position of Power. You blind yourself if you really think that the head of democratic leadership will accept any sort of real action AGAINST the interest of their big donors. Remember what happened to Bernie.
You are completely proving their point. Do you really think the level of support Israel receives from Trump is the same as what it would have been with Kamala? Do you think Bibi would be in her office telling her how great their relationship is and give her a golden pager?
Do you think Israel would have acted just as brazenly in its escalations and direct attacks on Iran?
There is no question she wouldn't have done enough to stop Israeli crimes, but no way in hell would it be equal to or worse than Trump. Even considering them on the same level makes you sound like a psyop.

Same people attacking any suggestion that their inaction let the orange monkey back into the WH. But hey, 'it wasn't me who voted him in', right?
people made it clear that supporting genocide was a line they wouldn't cross, this was apparent even without the polls. how are we still blaming voters when the dems still refused to adjust position? they chose Israel over winning, that's completely on them.
So, they refused to support genocide (a position, to be clear, that I agree with) by taking an action (voting third party) or inaction (not voting) that would clearly, and obviously, give a candidate who supported genocide a higher probability of not just winning, but being supported by others with the same opinion?
Voters were put in an invidious position and there were no good options, but there was one option that was clearly worse in every way, and they either directly or indirectly chose to support him.
You can't claim to oppose genocide at the same time vote for one of the parties who gives billions to israel to commit genocide.

Yeah it’s bullshit. I voted third party because dems decided Israel is worth supporting. But let’s be mathematically accurate here.
Even if all the people who DID vote that did not vote republican had voted for the democrat, there would not have been enough electoral college influence to affect the outcome.
You would have needed more non-voters to vote. But a non-voter then was probably a never-voter. There are people that exist who simply don’t care one way or the other who is in charge and you can’t convince those people to go vote. Sure you can try, but in the end it’s the people who did vote who get what they voted for.
Regardless of all of that I find the “you should have voted democrat” argument to be exceptionally stupid. The democrat party is backing a government that I find to be morally reprehensible, as do most Americans, what should have happened is those who were saying “yeah it’s bad but I’m still gonna vote dem” should have just voted for a third party. Why vote against your interests?

Remind them that throwing their vote away was a vote for garbage, and garbage won.

Goddamn these fucking protesters are such inauthentic losers. So "brave" yet terrified to protest the Trump administration.
Fucking phonies. They don't even remotely give a shit about Palestinians.
The pro-Palestine movement is protesting against the Trump administration almost every day. Just because Democrats are one degree better doesn't mean they get a pass for supporting the modern-day Holocaust for 16 months and handing the country on a silver platter to Trump.
Every Democrat who played a part in propping up the inanimate corpse of Biden and supported the genocide in 2024 need to be run out of politics and reminded of their miserable fucking FAILURE to stop fascism for the rest of their lives.

Yeah but you didn't condemn Isreal when you should have. You get your just desserts. Never gonna vote for you. Buh-bye.
If she shut up and went away, then protesters probably wouldn't bother her.

She blamed anti genocide protesters for her loss and is trying to make money off it.
Remember, Kamala is the reason Trump won.
