Im not American. I don’t really care about either of them but it’s incredibly gaslighty as I previously stated for left wing American voters to blame her for the rise of Trump. Further, she was running while she was VP. She couldn’t very well run a campaign that was opposite to the ‘current’ regimes stance on gaza could she? We’ll never know if she would have changed her position once it was her in office. Also, there are other genocides and atrocities currently occurring that get zero attention from press or western governments. Again, I applaud you for voting against Trump.

Yes, she supported genocide just like you do, so she can do no wrong. She can only be failed by the stupid voters who don't love genocide like you want them to.

Further, she was running while she was VP. She couldn’t very well run a campaign that was opposite to the ‘current’ regimes stance on gaza could she?

She was permitted to differ from biden. She ran to his right. She said she was going to appoint a republican to her cabinet, something even biden wasn't complicit enough to do. But she couldn't differ on the only issue that centrists will never abandon: their unconditional support for genocide.

Also, there are other genocides and atrocities currently occurring that get zero attention from press or western governments.

The US wasn't selling weapons for those. I'm sure you're endlessly disappointed.

Just saw another post asking if Lemmy was worse than Reddit in terms of left wing nut jobs declaring that I love genocide because I won’t be gaslit into blaming her for Trump winning (who also loves this genocide). Lemmy is showing to be full of worse personalities than on reddit. . America has so much blood on its hands and yet you throw your vitriol at me. Not in the least surprised. The entitlement.

It's not gaslighting to correctly point out that genocide is unpopular. harris lost because she hitched her wagon to netanyahu. The people for whom genocide is a winning issue were voting for trump, not marginally second worst to trump.

You're here, yes.

You keep carrying water for harris because she, like you, supports genocide.

Fair point. I think I’ll take my leave from this cesspool of gaslighting Americans who fund genocides all over the place. Enjoy your circle jerk.

You can't convince one person to love genocide to the exclusion of literally everything else so you're going to pretend to be a victim and leave in a snit.

falsely accuse me of gaslighitng you a couple dozen more times. It won't make your support for genocide and absolutely nothing else ever a moral choice on your part.
