    I have the feeling that since the vote is over, a lot fewer people are here to defend their “ron’t vote for harris because palestine” stance. Like something was switched off…

      I’m getting the same shit I did after the Biden win in 2020. With all the astroturfers gone Dems are allowed to control the narrative again and they are full force defending the DNC. This is how it will be for the next 4 years. Until the astroturf accounts have their next assignment.

      Wasn’t it something like 11% of Democratic primary voters that checked the box for “uncommitted” to signify that they weren’t willing to vote for genocide? (Might have been 11% in one state, I’m not sure, but the ‘uncommiteds’ were a big enough number for MSM reporting.)

      Seems to me like Dems had plenty of time and motivation to change their political stance on the issue.

      I’m still here. Harris fucked up on Palestine. Biden fucked up on Palestine. It just doesn’t need to be repeated on and on and on again - there is no new information, only people who think “vote for a candidate that supports genocide” is the correct thing to do. And that “Trump worse” is somehow a gotcha, when there isn’t any difference - the genocide has been happening and has been killing Palestinians for a year when democrats were in charge.

        What short memories people have. It’s been decades. Since Clinton and before. It spiked in the last year. And will spike even harder now that so many actively voted for fascism like in 1980. Or railed against the achievable (you) in pursuit of unobtainable perfection. Only to predictably, as it always has been. Achieve the worst possible outcome. But denying self responsibility. That part is always present too. Otherwise people would have to learn.

          Yes, I know it’s been decades. We are talking about this election and what’s been happening “right now”. And why democrats lost it now.

          The difference is very simple. A lot of people don’t give a shit about Palestine, but act as if they do. They clutch their pearls when you point it out. They say things like you do, where “stop the genocide” is somehow “unobtainable perfection”. Like oopsie, guess we will never change it, it’s completely impossible to not be funding genocide!

          Fuck that and fuck everyone who thinks that. You aren’t the good guys for voting Harris, and for voting for the genocide. You aren’t the good guys for voting for Trump and for voting for the genocide.

            Aaaah yes. More childishness. Everyone who isn’t you etc doesn’t care. Yes. You’ll get a lot accomplished with that BS. Like playing a part in getting a fascist elected. Muddying the waters and demotivating others with hyperbolic and false statements of “ThEy’Re ThE sAmE!” or “GeNoCiDe JoE/hArRiS!”. But you’re a special boy/girl. You’re riteous and correct. Everything is simple black and white. You and you alone see the simple black and white solutions no one else can. We were all pretending to care when we told you that BS would be counterproductive and even backfire and that we needed solidarity till after the election.

            But hey, trump is all worth it for you to keep your imagined purity and sense of superiority. Good job!

              If everything isn’t black and white, why isn’t Biden / Harris stopping the genocide right now? To punish these bad voters that didn’t vote for them?

              Again, you try to be sarcastic, you try to be funny, and yet again you prove - you don’t give two shits about Palestine. You say “solidarity was needed” when your policies were the ones that were being supported, and mine weren’t. It is easy to say that when you get what you want you know.

      There are still a couple running around, mostly with day old accounts. They claim they’re being banned for holding that stance but from what I’ve seen they’re getting banned for being inflammatory dickholes.
