Staying alive is an act of revolution. Surviving is revolutionary. Your life holds immense meaning and worth. Your very existence is a beacon of hope that we must protect and nurture. I do not dismiss your exhaustionâmany of us share it. But we must stand together and fight for our right to exist.

How many more calamities must we survive before we rise, shoulder to shoulder, to remind our government that the true power lies with usâand it is they who should fear us, not the other way around?

Now, disaster and crisis knock at our door, exposing the cracks in a system built to serve the few. How much longer will we endure?

But these actions, once distant, are creeping into our towns, our cities, our lives. For decades, Americans watched from afar as tsunamis, forest fires, and floods ravaged the Global South, thinking, It could never happen here.

People like you continue, year after year, not to blame the government responsible for losing their own elections⌠you just blame everything else around it. They did the same to Black Americans the first time Trump took office.

SO AGAIN. Your original comment was once again blaming a people, ONE group of already marginalized and targeted people in losing in election rather than blaming the people who ran a dying strategy of a campaign & continue to ignore the needs of its constituents time after time becauseâ-

Not to mention, many of the working class, which makes up most of our society work two jobs and there are still several jobs and conditions that make it tough for people to vote and resources that intimidate and make it tough for people in low income communities to know how to vote early.

Voter turnout drops due to distrust in government in general & has even before this election. Barriers like strict ID laws or poll closures, long lines, etc. Many feel their vote doesnât matter or feels there arenât enough choices (again this has been a factor for decades).
comment in response to

Oh, and sorry for the opinion column response. Lastly, there have been plenty of articles post-election explaining how even with third party votes, Harris still wouldnât have won and voter turn out is far more complicated than pro-Palestinians telling people to ânot vote.â

Democrats and republicans are ruining America equally. To have any sense of hope for the future, we need third parties. Not âbetter candidatesâ for broken parties. It just continues to put a different driver in a totaled vehicle.

In my opinion & from my experience, democrats are no different than Trump. Theyâre just better politicians in the sense that everything with them is smoke & mirrors. Everything is sneaking around the real intention & slapping a pride flag on anything to make it appear more progressive.

Iâll leave this hear, and wish us both luck the next four years:
Trump may be a loud mouth, but thatâs what his followers initially loved about him. He doesnât play âpoliticsâ he doesnât lie. He says what he says and doesnât try to be anything heâs not. Again, this is how they view him.

The Democratic Party has never been more aligned with republicans in policies and structure in our lifetime.
And a lot of it is due to the fact that, because we have such little options, weâre left with truly believing one is better than the other.

For you to continue to blame third party votes goes against any idea of democracy. Itâs voter shaming and continues to divide and has been proven to keep people from going to the polls. Third party candidates need a certain percentage to continue getting funding.
comment in response to
post
Third party votes are necessary and every presidential candidate needs to factor them into their campaign due to the fact that we live in a âdemocracyâ and to be subjected to a two party system continues to push us into the âlesser of two evilsâ options again and againâŚ

This is why these discussions are meaningless, when backed into a corner all you do is blame Trump⌠your original comment to the post was not in anyway trying to be a satire to Trump or reference him in anyway⌠it was your own opinion and now youâre backpedaling.

Second, your comment reflects bigotry toward Muslim and pro-Palestinian voters, many of whom voted for Harris despite moral conflicts, fearing a âwasted vote.â
Ultimately, your generalizations reveal internalized Islamophobia. My facts remain valid.
comment in response to

There are so many flaws in your argument, itâs hard to know where to begin. First, assuming all 111,017 third-party votes are interchangeable is incorrect. These votes came from across the political spectrumânot just the âfar left.â
comment in response to
post
Do you have any evidence in proving that he won by that small of a margin? What exactly is your point here?
It is a fact, that Muslim + Pro-Palestine voters did not lose Harris the election, which was your original accusation.

How do you not see it? The Black Panthers and Wu-Tang Clan were both targeted as potential âterrorists.â Oppressive struggles are interconnected. Ignoring the ties between Middle Eastern conflicts and domestic struggles of marginalized groups is willful ignorance at best.

This upholds the troubling precedent that only Israelis are seen as credible on Palestine. Palestinian journalists have risked and lost their lives reporting this for over a year, yet itâs only now, after an Israeli ex-defense minister speaks out, that itâs deemed reportable.

This is similar to bringing up âBlack-on-Black crimeâ when discussing the epidemic of violence by white police officers against Black Americans. It sidesteps the core issue entirely, shifting focus elsewhere instead of addressing the reality at hand.
Every oppressive empire gives birth to resistance

I'm looking forward to all the think pieces the NYT will start putting out acknowledging what everyone's been saying since November 2023. The intention to commit genocide was present from October 8, and the NYT has been complicit in peddling the propaganda to make it possible. We'll never forget.

Third-party candidates got ~1% of the vote nationally in 2024, down from 6% in 2016. In swing states like Michigan, their 2% share was smaller than the margin of victory. Voter turnout dropped from 66.6% in 2020 to 63.7%, which had a larger impact on the results than third-party voting.

Factually, Arab Americans, pro-Palestinian supporters and Muslims had nothing to do with Harris losing the election to Trump and to continue to blame them or shame them for their decisions is beyond ignorant and borderline racist and Islamophobic. Do your research beyond opinion columns.

A similar âblame the oppressed for oppressing themselves even furtherâ rather than focusing on the issues directly causing these atrocities is what has been used against Black Americans for centuries as well as other marginalized groups.

This is deeply unfair and prejudiced. Holding a Palestinian fighting for her peopleâs rights responsible for the consequences they face, simply because she encourages voters to support a party that isnât complicit in their oppression, is a gross misrepresentation of her intentions and agency.

I question if those around me truly want changeâor if theyâd give up the comforts of this empire. Many ease guilt with loose change but avoid real action. Decades show Americans clinging to chains masked by illusions, as privilege now blinds more than just white settler-colonial Americans.

How can we find hope when Civil Rights are treated like fleeting trends? Allies disappear when movements challenge the white-supremacist, heteronormative, radically-Christian power structure that enforces a two-party system, convincing us that voting outside it makes us the problem.

Weâre reliving another Red Scare and Lavender Scare. Politics is silenced in workplaces and online, especially under the watchful eyes of coworkers. Once again, weâre crushed by a government that thrives on fear, ignoring our calls for reform and equality.

Protest attendance has plummeted by over half as the propaganda machine unleashed a wave of Islamophobia, echoing the mediaâs demonization of the 2020 BLM protestsâmovements that were also co-organized by pro-Palestinian activists.

Since the election, spite has driven many to abandon boycotts, blaming Arab-Americans and pro-Palestinian voters for the loss. Protesters are labeled as supporting t*rrorists, while the center-left bends to the Democratic Party, deflecting accountability for its own inaction.
