    Letting perfection become the enemy of good? Good is funding a genocide?

    Also, I’ve never blocked anyone.

      Now we’re funding a genocide and making life worse for everyone else. Huzzah!

          We protected the Palestinian children by letting a worse candidate win! Yay!

            One of Biden’s last acts this month was to approve another few billion for Israel, and Harris said repeatedly she wasn’t gonna do anything different from Biden’s admin. It wasn’t gonna be better for those kids if she won.

              One of the first things Trump did was reverse the Biden policy regarding sending 2,000 pound bombs to Israel, and he has talked about “clearing out” Gaza. Trump’s policies are already objectively worse.

                Yeah, duh. Of course he’s worse on this.

                But it’s silly to act like “His version of the genocide is worse than our version of the genocide” is anything but a fucking exhausting and demoralizing conversation

        Yup, it’s pretty outstanding. We’re a nation of gullible, hateful idiots it seems.

      My b, you somehow got blocked on accident as I also never block anybody.

      Anyways

      Good is funding a genocide?

      There was keeping the status quo at worse (Harris) and then there was throwing the dial to 11 and opening new potential genocide fronts right here in America! (Trump)

        Oh no worries, I probably said something stupid at some point.

        I completely agree with everything you’re saying except that the Harris campaign was good. There were no good choices this election, there was just an objectively wrong one. I voted for Harris anyway because trump is obviously worse by far, I think I’m just still pissed at her milquetoast center right campaign.

          As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, I wonder if people like them think that anyone who criticized Harris/the campaign didn’t vote. I know A LOT of hardcore leftists that are left of even me and every one of them voted. Some would maybe not say it out loud in a group, but they all did just in case Trump had the votes lol. It’s a shame they sacrificed their morals not only for Harris to lose, but now they’re also being blamed for it. If people had anti lib energy the way they had anti leftist energy, we’d have M4A by now lol.

      Keeping your most important ally in the Middle East isn’t about good or bad. It’s simply necessary.

      Now we have a worse “genocider”.

      You aren’t just voting for the person to have power. You’re voting for their party to have power. It wasn’t just about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

      And in case you didn’t notice, we’ve got some pretty serious issues here at home to be focusing on and taking into account when we vote. Palestinians are simply not at the top of my list.

        Palestine is at the top (or near the top, anyways) of my list and…

        I voted for Harris. Ignoring a genocide is bad, yes, but cheering it on is worse. I don’t think anyone in Gaza was cheering when they heard the news Trump was elected.

        I think people don’t understand that (under the fptp voting system) voting isn’t some kind of stamp of approval. You can still criticize someone you vote for. Voting is harm reduction, plain and simple.
