Maybe we shouldn't have supported Ukraine if it meant supporting genocide

And in a mirror universe where that decision got made someone's arguing "maybe we shouldn't have cut funding to Israel if it meant allowing the genocide in Ukraine."

Thank goodness the Democrats perpetuated the genocide in Gaza so they wouldn't lose to Trump! 🤦

Yup. I don't understand why people are talking like Harris isn't also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that's a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

The election was never about Palestine, ultimately the Dems lost of their own volition by running rightward with Liz Cheney. Rather than going with a safe win like ending support for genocide and running on a progressive platform, or even a Leftist platform (which the DNC would never do, for the record, even if it would win), they deliberately chose to lose to the reps. Their donors would rather have Trump than progressive Dems win.

More Americans would die under Harris as well. The US Empire is crumbling, even if Harris won that wouldn't stop that process, what's necessary is for the working class to get organized.

Meanwhile, Palestine burns and the Dems got away with it.

Irrelevant

Trump ran on “the Dems aren’t doing enough for Israel” and won the Arabic vote

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 minutes ago

Trump didn't win the Arab-American vote, Harris lost it. Arab-Americans pivoted towards the Green Party and PSL.

The Democrats, in the eyes of liberals, can only be failed, they cannot fail of their own accord. Now, more than ever, is a good time to start reading theory, as many liberals are disaffected by the US election. I wrote an introductory reading list for Marxism in case anyone wants one.

You dropped that.

Jill Stein would have totally stopped the genocide you care about.

You got your favorite tyrant in control January 21st. Be happy, you wanted this 🤡

The Democrats can only be failed, they can't fail, can they? If they lose, it's the fault of the masses, each individually, and not on the Party running the campaign and trying to connect to its base, is that right?

The fact of the matter is that Trump was more successful in getting his base to vote, and Harris went against her base by running to the right of Biden in 2020, despite polling telling her it would lead to electoral loss.

None of us individually made any difference, no matter who we voted, the ones with the ability to change the course of the election are the parties and candidates running for it.
