But don’t worry guys Kamala was pro Israel! I literally called all this shit during the elections. Everyone on lemmy losing their fucking minds because Harris wouldn’t condemn Israel and all I kept asking was “sure but what will trump do?” And getting downvoted to oblivion. Still 99% sure they were bots but like… serious short sightedness if not.
Lol, that damn genocidin Biden!
Way to go, protest voters. You did this.
Even as recently as last week, I had people telling me that Trump is better for Palestine than Harris would’ve been.
People are so deep into denial. I wonder if they’ll ever come out and admit they were wrong for not voting.
“But… but… I didn’t expect trump to be this bad!”
I’m hearing that phrase more and more often. I really hope these people enjoy the consequences of their actions, because Gaza is going to disappear and that’s all on every single one of those bastards.

As a non-American it staggers me to think that people tried to justify not making a difficult choice by suggesting they were taking some sort of moral inaction.
Entitlement is far more dangerous when mixed with ignorance.
That’s what staggers you? Not that both of our presidential candidates were unwilling to condemn a genocide?
And I voted for Harris and don’t know a single person who didn’t. But damn near everyone I know was sickened by Biden’s complicity in the genocide. It was literally the main issue causing Democratic antipathy among my friends, from millennials to boomers (including multiple outspoken Jews). Not because they were on message boards consuming propaganda or because I have an especially radical social network, because it’s fucking genocide and we could see it being reported in real time.
Whether the empathy party should oppose genocide by a rightwing ethnostate should not have been a confusing choice. That people find the idea of some unidentified voted refusing to vote for more of that, like it’s no big deal and anyone who did was somehow not being mature, is just fucking insane. What on earth happened to you that this isn’t an obvious and very relatable result. I fucking hated voting for Harris. And all this stupid vitriol should be pointed at her and Biden for not being able to do the very simple task of saying what we were all witnessing was abhorrent and our role in it was wrong. That should have been the default Democratic stance on genocide and war crimes. They’re the ones who made a truly incomprehensible choice to put devotion to Israel ahead of American democracy.
That’s not what I said, but thanks for going on a tangent to correct me.
Yeah, it’s sickening that one of the proudest democracies in history is clearly faltering.
However, I thought they taught Americans about the responsibility of democracy. Hell knows we here you bang on about it when invading the rest of the world.
That you’re somehow still focused on “Democracy” (“proud” no less) rather than “genocide” is mind-boggling. You can’t pretend to be self-righteous about American invasions and then just say “whoops, a little genocide, not really important in the grand scheme of things though”.
If you are so polarized in your stance against genocide, why haven’t you booked a ticket to Palestine to volunteer with an aid agency and donate every cent of your net worth to the cause?
Is your comfortable first world life more important that genocide? How absolutely selfish of you! Even replying to this comment will waste valuable seconds you could be saving actual children with.
This is a mind numbingly stupid comment.
I’m sure at the Nuremberg Trials Part 2 when they ask what you did to stop the genocide in Gaza and you say you virtue signaled in online comment sections that you’ll get a standing ovation. A modern day saint among us. Please, send me your picture so I can pray to it and tell my children I once spoke to the most virtuous person on Earth.
Classic American, lecturing the world on the ethics of things. .
I’m not lecturing the world. I’m lecturing you. You have shitty morality.
Poor take.
You could have shown some contrition or humility. It is Your government, that represents You that is encouraging ethnic cleansing abroad and also creating concentration camps for immigrants at home, making You complicit.
And you are complicit, whether that is against your will or not.
Instead of recognising that, you chose to try and teach me about morality and now have decided to judge me.
This is what makes you a hypocrite.
As I say, I feel like being lectured on morality by an American is a common occurrence. You love to tell people how to think and behave whilst you elect rapists and invade countries. And it isn’t just Trump I’m talking about. The US has nearly an unbroken record of inflicting trauma on the world, whether that is over oil, or politics.
And you’ve benefitted from that, and done what? Banged out some judgemental words on a keyboard?
You are behaving exactly like why the world is tired of Americans. You are a bully and a blowhard. You have no humility and you can’t walk away from a fight you lost before you even started.
