I too remember when the DNC decided committing genocide was more important than beating Trump. Hope you are happy with their decision!

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I’m pretty sure they voted at least.

"Sure, they committed genocide; the worst and most unforgivable crime, but at least they voted!"

BlueMAGA liberals are deranged.

Yeah. The DNC voted for trump. 🙄

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They have the same donors. It would not surprise me.

Then remind me to sell you some bridges. Best price! Big impress!

To clarify, is this supposed to be an argument against the comment you replied to? Cause both you and the above comment are right.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No they are not wrong. They blame the voters instead of the DNC.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm saying both are to be blamed. The powers that be for not giving an option to vote against genocide, and the deliberate non-voters for enabling Trump's victory.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago (4 children)

No only the DNC is blame worthy.

Voters who abstained did the right thing. No votes for genocide.

Hope the very real human lives you've decided to condone sacrificing for your principles was worth it.

Weird how it was their principles but others paid the price. Why don't they just admit they chose a nap over harm reduction? Given the known correlation between lower voter turnout and crueler candidates winning, should they just admit they abstained so there'd be more genocide?

Your daily reminder that BlueMAGA liberals do not consider Palestinians to be "real humans".

Hope the very real human lives you’ve decided to condone sacrificing for your lack of principles was worth it.

I'm not American and this wouldn't even make sense if I were

Consider not commenting smugly on politics you do not understand.

[–] CarrmynCarnage@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've lived here my whole ass life and I don't know wtf you're going on about. You're not a hero for not filling out a ballot. You did nothing. You don't get to pat yourself on the back for doing nothing. Doing the right thing? You had a choice and you chose nothing. You are the problem, and you dare pose yourself and others like you as the solution. Disgusting behavior.

You can stop being proud of your support for genocide now. You already lost with it once.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Who would have died under Harris but was saved under Trump?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago

this says it all.

[–] CarrmynCarnage@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Thanks. Ill remember your apathy fondly when a boot is on the back of my neck.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

You should remember your own apathy for genocide instead.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml -3 points 3 months ago

Likewise, we remember your selfishness in the face of the modern holocaust.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Hope you're a white American, cause otherwise you might be in for a bad time.

The right thing isn't always the smart thing.
