Although personally in favor of Palestinian independence and critical of war crimes committed by Israel in its siege of Gaza, I attempted to explain in a back-and-forth discussion with a user (only afterwards learning was one of the community’s two moderators) why protest voting in the 2024 election to “punish” the democrats in favor of the republicans harmed the ultimate interest of reigning in Israeli violence in Palestine.
To further emphasize the damage caused by such a protest vote, I argued that not only is Palestine worse off with Trump elected instead of Harris, but as are a myriad of other social issues. The other user disagreed, arguing that Trump’s return to office facilitated the ceasefire, rather than my argument that Netanyahu deliberately delayed it to help Trump get elected.
After my fourth reply post in a reply chain that stemmed from my initial reply to the moderator’s comment, I was banned from [email protected]. Having at no point advocated in favor of the violence perpetuated by Israel in Gaza, I think the ban was unjustified, and demonstrates a bad precedent for maintaining echo chambers of moderator opinions, rather than communities that foster discussion.
Judging from the gloating as Palestinians die, despite the fact it was 20 million democrats who stayed home because they’re white enough Trump won’t bother them, yes. I do believe you like it. Democrats refuse to do anything to prevent fascism when they have power, and do nothing but complain about it when they don’t.
I’ll believe you don’t like it when you lot stop acting so smug and morally superior while you watch Trump kill brown people slightly faster than Harris would. Because at the end of the day, you’re still happy they’re dying, because it makes you “right”.
Nobody is fucking gloating. Fuck you.
At least own up to it, dipshit.
I spent months on this website breathlessly pleading with morons like you, spelling this shit out in every possible way that I could.
It is not gloating, it is frustration. And clearly, you’ve learned nothing.
Morons like me? I fucking voted for Harris because I had no fucking choice. It’s “cis, white, male” like you who sat on your fucking asses at home because you know Trump isn’t coming for you anyway. Twenty million of you shitheads stayed home, and now that democracy is going out the windows, you have the audacity to come on here and strut around like you’re the smartest fucking dildo in the room.
Fuck you, you’re all racist pieces of shit. I should have known democrats would lose anyway, and still blame it on everyone but themselves. You lack the intellectual capability to even entertain the thought that your shit doesn’t stink. And in four years, when Trump runs for a third time, I have no doubt you’ll run another warhawk corporate liberal shitstain that’ll lose to him again. Because out of three elections against Trump, you’ve lost two, and you won’t even acknowledge that it was your fault in the first place.
So, you voted for the lesser evil? Got it.
And here you are, still being smug because your candidate likes killing people. Just stop pretending you care about genocide. You didn’t like Harris because she was the lesser evil, you just wanted evil.
