Yes, I can see that it would be demoralizing, and it was demoralizing. The Schumer/Biden wing of the Democrats deserves to be cast into the bonfire of the vanities, they are completely useless. And while this might sound sarcastic, I truly believe they have ended their usefulness, if they ever had much.
But we are talking about human beings and their lives. It may not make much of a philosophical difference to compare different stances on this senseless slaughter, but it makes eminently practical sense to save the lives you can. An American Presidential election was not going to produce much of a genocide-stopping president in 2024, and I hope 2028 does better, but there were distinct differences in approach and stance and collaboration with Bibi.
Case in point, look up "Gaza floating pier," vs. "Trump Gaza resort." it's not about philosophical differences when you are starving.
If genocide is bipartisan, then the less bad choice is whatever collapses the US the fastest. You wouldn’t try to choose the leader of Nazi Germany based on who’s going to run the holocaust most effectively
BlueMAGA is a parody of itself
the floating pier from day one was to have israeli guards at the end of it. It was a pretend situation where Israel could have instead just opened one gate into gaza instead for the exact same effect. Its a transparent and idiotic PR game and always was, and evidently you fell for it. Or you're pushing the same braindead propoganda narrative with a straight face. How was the pier any different than a gate on land?
The Gaza floating pier was used to do warcrimes, then dismantled.
As planned.
Fuck demoralizing. People made a conscious choice to screw the United States for ar least 3 more years...all because they were "demoralized". So how bad are they depressed right now? "I'M DEMORALIZED....SO I'LL DO SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE IT EXPONENTIALLY WORSE." Here in the south, we call that "short bus thinking". Yeah, I called those people the terrible R word...maybe I'll take it back when they stop acting that way. And I don't give a fuck. They fucked up. They can own it or cry into their lattes. I REALLY don't give a fuck about their whining.
I'm glad monsters like you are suffering
Your shitty system will always produce fascism as long as you don't hold the slightly less fascist party accountable. Last election the dems threw immigrants and palestinians under the bus in the name of 'appeasing the center' next election it will be trans people that will lose all political support and some time afterwards the dems will fold on womens rights in their stupid attempt to become the republicans lite edition.
Uhh trans people lost support last election. Or were you not paying attention to all the anti-trans legislation coming out.
Yeah, they had one party fighting against them and zero parties fighting back.
