It's easy to paint a huge group of people with a broad brush, but that's exactly the mindset that got us here.

That's rich from a group calling everyone a Nazi in the last few months unless they fully agree with you on Gaza, and I'm a leftist and one that's been at this a while, and you Americans are toxic as fuck. You don't perceive that we around the world who are actually leftists are aghast at the stupidity of your country.

The right was always toxic, but the left really went with it this election too. Nobody was good enough for anyone and nobody was leftist enough for everyone. And if you saw someone you thought was less left, you shouted "Nazi" at them. Not just at the right wingers, but your own allies on the left.

You have every right to be frustrated and angry, and if it helps you to direct that anger at me, then go for it. I want you to know that even though it feels like there are so many people against you, there are people around the world you've never met that are pulling for you. I sincerely wish you the best, and I hope that you're able to find happiness.

Nobody was good enough for anyone and nobody was leftist enough for everyone

Very true. Everybody is concerned about how right they are through highlighting how wrong whoever else is. This era of profilicity will exterminate left thought

what's a little genocide for a seasoned leftist? cultures come and go. it's just genocide.

If you really actually cared about Palestine, you wouldn't have stood off to the side and let the racist fascist through. Cause now Palestine is done.

You guys are mad cause neither candidate agreed with you on one issue? Are you new to politics and elections? Last two elections I've had to vote for shitty neo liberals, cause I knew the other option was much much worse. Sometimes you have to eat shit and like it

Nailed it. The Dems didn't fail the voters, the voters failed themselves. Some fell in love with a con man and some sat on their purity pedestals and refused to help. America is full of all kinds of idiots.

oh so sanctimonious "purity pedestals" like, Stop abetting an exterminationist campaign

It was only broadly popular with most of the country and polled well in swing states; thank goodness party leadership had the stones to stick to their values and loose on this issue. Nobody to blame here but people who didn't make campaign choices and do not have access to the levers of power!

Just recently Israel said they will not allow Palestinians to return to northern Gaza. That's ethnic cleansing at best. Biden is still in charge.

Are we expecting perfect? Is stopping a genocide perfect? It's the bare fucking minimum you clowns. Stop giving Netenyahu a blank cheque

The Dems definitely failed us friend. They ran a shit campaign and everyone knows it
