    Regardless of who won, the genocide was set to continue.

    The only leverage they had to get Biden to stop supporting a genocide was to threaten to withhold votes

    When Biden/Kamala refused to listen, some voters held their ground.

    Enjoy your protest vote, hope it works out for you guys.

    I held my nose and voted D like I always do.

    But I understand why others didn’t, and that a candidate who already agrees with their base has a better chance then one who the base disagrees with.

    So logically, we need to not keep trying to force a candidate on dem voters who is more conservative then Dem voters.

    If you want to yell at people who were chased away from the political process by Biden/Kamala’s policies…

    You’re going to have to go find them, they’re politically disengaged, they’re not going to be hanging out in political social media communities.

    You’re gonna have to leave the comfort of your couch and do it face to face, go get right up to them and taunt them about the generations of family who have been abused and killed.

    I won’t wait to hear back how it went, but I wish you the best of luck.

      Oh, those people are absolutely here. I’ve had multiple arguments with them for the past week or so.

      They’re trying as hard as they can to justify letting fascism win. I guess it’s so they can sleep at night pretending their protest didn’t condemn millions to suffer and actively make the situation worse for the people they were protesting for.

        You just replied to multiple of comments of mine across different threads in the span of minutes…

        Is this a coincidence thing or did I block your main account and you just noticed and desperately want to restart an old argument anywhere you can?

        I hate to ask, but unfortunately this wouldn’t be the first time.
