Where are we today in the 6 stages of grief? It's six because acceptance doesn't exist and at stage 6 the process starts over at stage 1.

No one forced the democrats to do this:

yeah its not like republicans tied ukraine aid to aid for israel or anything. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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."

what gets me is would the hamas attack and thus the isreali response happen without putin. Im very suspicious that he was not pushing on making more chaos globally to get our of the cluster fuck he started.

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

Good thing never once has a common citizen ever voted on issues of diplomacy and international relations, otherwise some idiot who can't handle anything but a white ethnostate would be left in charge because of hand-wringing simpletons. Fuck off with the high and mighty act. Democrats aren't responsible for this, it's been happening for nearly a hundred years and you tools just found out about it and made it your whole personality. Fuck you for giving us Trump again.

  1. The Democrats share responsibility with the Republicans and Imperialists that have supported Israel's settler-colonial genocide for nearly a hundred years

  2. I have been pro-Palestine since far before October 7th, 2023

  3. Even if I wanted to get Trump elected, I couldn't. The Democrats lost because they ran an awful campaign and shifted even further right despite polling telling them that at that point swing voters would rather vote for Republicans.

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] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

It’s the same thing

How many elections has the messaging been “a vote for Stein is a vote for Republicans”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

It is not the same thing, lol. If Arab-Americans wanted Trump to win, they would have voted for Trump.

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.
