    You’re holding them accountable? How? By making sure they’re not in power, so we’re at where we are today? You’re holding them accountable by having people deported en masse as a result of your strategy?

    You seem to think you’re hurting dems by not voting. You’re not. They’re still rich and in power. The people that were actually impacted are the people in LA, all the small businesses falling apart from tariffs, people being grabbed off the street.

    All this, because you want to stick it to the dems, do you really feel good about the effects of that choice?

      post-election post-election post-election

      I was vocal about voting for her before the election and did so myself even if it felt wrong. We are well past the point where supporting genocide helps them win an election.

      The dems lost because voters are babies that couldn’t stomach genocide.

      Do you understand how vile the narrative you try to spread is? It’s simply enabling the dems to keep doing Israel’s bidding. By contrast, I’m saying:

      The dems lost because they supported genocide

      Blaming and holding them accountable for their actions might actually lead to change while blaming voters brings about absolutely nothing. If they give us the same platform next election, we will lose again. They have to change and we have to pressure them to. It is their job to listen to what the people want, not the other way around.
