You can be willfully ignorant of my point as much as it makes you feel self righteous, but don’t for a second believe that this whining is accomplishing anything but ensuring that resistance remains divided and solidarity is impossible to achieve.

Oh, you mean like how we remained divided in the election and now I have a good chance over the next four years of dying due to a fascist government coming into power? Wow, it’s cute how it’s super important to maintain solidarity through disagreements and even the condemnation of millions of people to death and oppression, until, you know, one of us damn dirty impure folk is asking for it from the purity brigade. Fascism in America is an acceptable compromise for personal purity, but everyone else should put aside all their little quibbles to join hands with fascist enablers! 😊
You really do feel entitled to the support of those thrown under the bus after offering none to them.
Your utter inability to see the irony in saying this, especially to someone who actually has a very good chance of being killed by the fascist regime, and thus whose stakes involved in this are significantly greater than losing the ability to virtue signal for another country’s genocide, is astounding.
By asking voters to not elect a fascist who is worse on their issue of choice than the non-fascist, I asked something ridiculous, apparently. I threw those voters I asked under the bus, and now they demand that I join hands with them in… doing nothing against the fascist regime, but giving them asspats for how ‘principled’ they are.
Yes I’m sure it lines up exactly with the imaginary image you’ve constructed of me in opposition to what I’ve said.
In response to your edit: I think I made it clear that I voted for Kamala but that it was expected that people would not vote to legitimize a government that was actively encouraging genocide, sometimes against their own people. That this somehow makes ME a hypocrite as a sticking point and not YOU for your fundamental inability to consider solidarity as a value is what makes this whole exchange laughable.

Oh cool, so now by them ‘standing up’ against the ‘legitimization’ of the government, we’re in a better place to oppose it, right?
Oh, we aren’t? We’re actually worse off in terms of our ability to oppose the government? And disadvantaged demographics are going to suffer for the purity games of the privileged? Just like I said when you tried to pull this dogshit argument earlier in this argument?
Fucking lovely.
Solidarity is all-important when it’s time to sabotage disadvantaged demographics, but it doesn’t seem to matter one fucking whit when there’s actually a chance to defend them. How curious.
Do I have to go back and quote you from the very start? You yourself admitted that, in your conception of their motivations, they regarded both outcomes of the election being genocide for Palestine; and so decided that it was, then, acceptable to embrace genocide in America in addition.
But hey, who needs introspection when you can play purity games while people like me get to go to the concentration camps, or be stripped of the already-meagre healthcare support available to the American poor? I can’t wait until I’m vomiting blood again because I can’t afford my medication. God, that was such a fun time. These next four years hold such promise of nostalgia in that sense.
But don’t worry - you and the people you defend, I’m sure you’ve got nothing to worry about.
