Oh I just had a long conversation with my partner about what you’ve just said. Between two hard choices which were both equally bad for Palestine it becomes a non-argument. So then you have to look at what’s underneath.

But waving a flag around and pretending it was about Palestine I guess is easier than saying I voted for 🍊 due to tax reasons and domestic reasons 🤷🏽♀️ that’s why they become highly defensive.
It wasn’t just Palestine, Kamala was weak and capitulating to the right on nearly every issue (remember “we will continue to have the most powerful military in the world?”) Or the fact that she was a cop running for the acab side?
I voted for her. But no wonder she lost her base. Cmon now.
Also remember by the end of it she flip flopped on fracking, immigration, electric vehicles, federal job guarantees, mandatory buy backs for guns, Medicare for all, and more! It was a democratic capitulation to lobbying funds. Stop blaming leftists and reflect on how dems abandoned their base!
It’s not an argument, the alternative was to allow a criminal who is a sex offender and was broadcasting how he was going to repeal basic human rights. Are the democrats a good party? No, but let’s no pretend people who ‘morally’ abstained are at the moment working to create more than 2 party state
Look, I don’t like Trump. I think he’s evil. Enough of this. All I am saying is that it’s hard to get Americans to vote (and it has been forever). Accept that and don’t rely on ‘people don’t want a sex offender’ to beat a charged voter base.
And I think you’re fundamentally misunderstanding the motivations of voters in this election. In 2024 voters wanted change badly, Trump offered that, and Kamala offered ‘normalcy’ and ‘continuing bidens legacy.’ All they had to do was offer some change. (Justified) Morality bashing was never enough.
If you’re not going to vote against fascism then you need to look hard at the history of German and wonder about complicity because it’s tacit consent. I don’t accept that argument - speaking as someone whose family was subjected to apartheid.
I think people need to either accept America for what it is and has been for a long time or actually take action to change the system. I see very little of either of these things.
