And some candidates should be able to take a stand against genocide. Too bad you got your way and none were on the ballot.

    Yes "my way". As an American jew I'm totally not horrified by what my supposed homeland is doing, and I certainly don't challenge anyone to call me a Jewish antisemite for saying "Fuck Israel". And I also don't still have to live with that complicit radioactive orange dementia patient as my fucking President because a bunch of pansy cocksuckers couldn't get off their knees and go fucking vote against him.

    Maybe if democrats credibly supported something other than genocide, more people would have voted against him.

    Or, maybe if she had been unequivocally anti-genocide or even anti-funding Israel without checks or guarantees from Israel first, she would have lost even worse. Sad to think about, but close to 1/3 of the US is irredeemable deplorables who have been shamelessly propagandized for over 40 years by hate media. Your own argument seems to distill down to everyone is a genocider. Can you really say that she wouldn't have lost more votes than she gained, and that the purity testers wouldn't have just moved on to a different issue they had with her and still sat out on election day?

    They aren't ever going to vote for a democrat. They are not your audience, they are not your voters, and no matter how much you support genocide, unless you support it harder than trump, none of them will vote for you. Not fucking one.

    Well, considering how many of you are still carrying water for a genocidal candidate more than a year after the election, I'm disappointed to say that too many members of the democratic party support genocide and nothing else.

    Can you really say that she wouldn’t have lost more votes than she gained

    I think that's the very reason that the party won't release its postmortem on the election.

    purity testers

    All this has ever meant is "I have no standards and I expect you to abandon yours."

    Yes. I agree, but unfortunately I'm not buddies with Nancy Pelosi or whoever the fuck picks these people, and I don't make the rules, I just live under them.

    Yes. I agree, but

    But you blame the voters instead of the politicians who refuse to represent them.

    Yes. Because I also live in reality, where the lesser of two evils is often the only option.

    And I hate everyone who manipulated events so that no one had the option to vote against genocide.

    You just hate the voters.

    Politicians lie. They say shit that they think will get them elected, and then make decisions once in office. For all we know, Harris has a modicum of morals, and would have put Israel in its place, despite what she said. We'll never know, because instead your non-vote was a vote for Trump, who absolutely was never going to do that. And now the country is falling apart, and the entire world hates us, for good reason. And people are being disappeared off the street, if not straight up murdered. So thanks for your moral outrage. It's partly responsible for this shit show. This isn't up for debate. YOU HELPED MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

    I've been saying all over this thread that I voted for harris.

    None of you give a solitary shit who anyone voted for. The only thing any centrist wants from the voters is enthusiastic support for your only policy: genocide.
