This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
I still chose to blame the republicans.
No one ever just blames them directly in these conversations. It's always "blame the protest non-voters" or "blame the leftists" or whatever.
Just go directly to blaming the people who gleefully voted for it. Everything else is just infighting and stupid.
No it's not. There is a huge difference.
Republicans wanted this so they voted for it. You don't have to tell them this lol they are thrilled. Of course we blame them. That shit is all over the internet all the time, but a scorpion is a scorpion. Its in its nature, you cant change their whole ideology.
The group he is criticizing claimed to have been protest-non-voting because of harm done to specific groups. Mainly Palestinians. This is the group who should have empathy for human beings, who's motive should align with the other Democratic voters.
We told them REPTEADLY. LOUDLY. CLEARLY. that what they were doing would result in worse violence FOR PALESTINIANS and MORE marginalized groups like TRANS PEOPLE and IMMIGRANTS. And what happened? Exactly what we told them would happen. So everyone who fucking claimed to have been doing what they were doing to protest needs to see this. They need to be held accountable. WHAT PRIVILEGE IT IS to be able to protest and go back to your life without worrying about ICE or Israel or transphobes or Russians coming and killing you.
WE TRIED TO GET THEM TO HELP PROTECT THESE GROUPS AND THEY REFUSED KNOWING FULL WELL WHAT WAS COMING. THE GOP PUBLISHED THE MANUAL BEFORE THE ELECTION.
Every time someone says "I told you so" it comes with a justified rage and I won't fuckin hear someone telling them to stop bringing it up. Fuck that.
I hope this sticks with them and the guilt haunts whatever conscience they have for the rest of their life. It's not comparable to what they allowed to happen. It doesn't even register on the scale next to this. They were the ones who actually could've stopped this.
The democrats didn’t give anything worth voting for. I’ll never vote for genocide. It’s literally a systemic issue. Don’t punch left, punch right.
I can see how stupid, ignorant people could think this.
Anyone not stupid and ignorant knew multiple things.
Democrats are better for our economy. That's not debatable. That's fact.
Democrats don't strip our rights. That's also not debatable. Also fact.
Democrats regularly vote in favor of the middle/lower classes. Again, not debatable. Fact, as well.
Democrats didn't run on a platform of hate and fascism.
Now, I don't know how stupid people brains work firsthand, but from where I'm standing, those are all things worth voting for, particularly when the other side are MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS.
You literally did vote for this if you abstained from this past election. How about you help punch right instead of being a fucking pussy.
You're fucking dispicable and selfish. Worse than a red voter because you claim to care about other people. Fuck you. Virtue signaling garbage.
how's that vote working out for you? able to sleep at night warm in your convictions while children are slaughtered in Israel?
did you even make a difference?
