There appear to be a vast number of iberals who are indeed raging angry by the murders, represented by people wearing the Liberal badge and not reported and not reflected.
No elected liberal leader has decried this ongoing genocide. Every single one supports Israel, and other settler colonial projects just like it. Liberal countries have been the main perpetrators of colonialism in the modern era, so this is nothing surprising.
Have to upvote you on this truth
So vote against them and teach them a lesson.
Bourgeois democracy (ie capitalist dictatorship) is a rigged game, you can't beat capitalists at a game where they stack the candidates / players.
Even the ancient greeks knew that representative "democracy" based on elections always results in an aristrocracy and not democracy, because wealthy / upper class candidates and families are the only ones who have enough money to fund their campaigns and win the popularity contest, and then run the governments in the interests of their own class.
It serves as a distracting theatre piece / reality tv show, gives the illusion of democracy, platforms the reactionary views of the ruling class, and builds consent for the system itself.
Marxists rediscovered that by the 1800s, and liberals can't wrap their heads around it in 2025.
Even alternative voting systems don't make a difference, that just makes the candidate stacking more expensive. Whether in japan, australia, the UK, France, bourgeios parliamentarism has proven to be the safest and most stable shell for capitalist dictatorship.
Democracy fucking sucks. However, authoritarianism is so much worse.
I don't think you know what a dictatorship is. The term you're looking for is oligarchy.
We tried that already, they still won the election.
ah yes, not all liberals
