The internal contradictions that destroyed the Democratic Party’s ability to unify and lead included the party’s unwavering allegiance to Netanyahu and the Saudis, an allegiance that STILL happens to line up perfectly with Trump’s fascist agenda.
I voted for Harris. But I don’t blame nonvoters for US policy in the Middle East. I don’t even know what point you are trying to make. You somehow blame me for not blaming nonvoters for fascism. You are not a very good antifascist. Be less sectarian. Peace.
The Genocide Joe clowns got played and helped to elect a NAZI. And Putin got Trump. Bibi got one state. Natural gas reserves. Jared get his beach condo development on the Gaza Coast. And the Palestinians got screwed. DUH.
For me... Like it or not, both options were going to support Israel. There was no electorally relevant path to saving Gaza.
But a Harris win that night, could have saved a lot of people here.
Elections are triage. You filter for the best available candidate, to save who you can.
If progressives won down ticket voters & win from the ground up, we wouldn’t be here. Showing up every 4 years whining “not good enough” isn’t good enough. Palestinians, women, immigrants, the LGBTQ community (especially trans) , Latinos, black people, low income… all will fare worse under Trump.
There is nothing progressive about "progressives". They take us backwards. They aren't progressive. Just Anti-Dem. And some are actually controlled opposition for the right. Ask Saikat and Peter Thiel.
I didn’t vote for her for “my comfort”. I voted for her because we knew what the alternative was. We could have focused attention on helping stop war in Gaza, but now they’ll finish what they started. In addition, our country may well end up in civil war. But hey, your conscience is clear.

Not by a long shot.
It's basically THE lowest moral bar, and the Dems still couldn't get over it.
So I will never again be voting "Blue no matter who". I will vote for progressives.

If you're willing to support those who support a genocide for your own comfort, then I don't want to be in your party.
