You own a little piece of what trump is doing right now whether you admit it or not.
I voted for Kamala
I am not an elected official
I did not force the DNC to be silent on the Palestinian Genocide
You are blaming me, a random internet commentor, for the actions taken by some of the most powerful people on earth who would laugh at me telling them to do something
the world is not black and white. there is not a single person or group to blame. biden is to blame for his support of israel, kamala is to blame for her silence, the DNC is to blame for constantly shifting right, RNC/trump/etc OBVIOUSLY to blame, and people screaming “genocide joe” over every debate about everything are ALSO to blame
you let a single (important, awful) issue, THAT TRUMP WAS ALSO OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE WORSE ON make you a mouthpiece for right wing propaganda
i wonder how many people didn’t vote because of that bullshit line? hmm? you think you’re not to blame? you’re not the ONLY one who is to blame
oh really? what right wing propaganda specifically?
Explain how this is propaganda and isn't just you getting triggered by the truth?
You can hide behind whatever flimsy statements you want but the fact is you went around discouraging Democratic votes
Biden supporters/centrists who can't grapple with their complicity in the Genocide of Palestinians will continue to hide behind their denial that they opened the door to one of the worst attrocities in my lifetime that was directly enabled by Biden.... and Harris refused to make any daylight between her and Biden on it.
When are y'all gonna stop being bitter losers? Do you think there are some amount of consequences for the decisions others made that will make me feel bad for a decision I did not make?
I voted for Kamala, you have nothing to attack me with but your own bitterness about not being on the right side of history.
"I voted for kamala but somehow also pretended that other people shouldn't because trump totally wasn't worse for Gaza and now I'm morally superior for... something!"
I never claimed Trump wouldn't be worse for Gaza, neither did any leftist I followed, stop making this baseless accusation. Anecdotes of "well I heard lots of people say it!" don't count, you need to provide material evidence here, especially that prominent leftist news channels with any credibility on the left were promoting this.
I am not claiming a moral superiority other than saying that yes I am better than someone who actively facilitated a genocide, you are projecting that onto this conversation.
Kamala owns a much bigger part of it than any individual voter
