    I will think back to threads like this every time I wonder why Democrats never achieve anything meaningful and the country continues to lurch toward fascism. You all seem to be more interested in team sports than actually having principles and expectations for your own party.

      The “leftists” on here literally supported Trump. Their reason doesn’t matter, they’re fascism-enabling Trump supporters in every way that matters.

      If you didn’t vote, or if you didn’t vote for Kamala, you helped Trump get elected. That’s not politics, it’s math.

        The “leftists” on here literally supported Trump.

        I’m a leftist, and I do not, nor have ever, supported Trump. I just didn’t support the other genocider, either. Because I have principles that I stand on, one of which is “Never give support to genociders”.

            Your inaction is part of the problem.

            Why isn’t Harris’ inaction part of the problem? I mean, she could have said,“You know, genocide is bad, and when I take office, I will end all support for Israel until they agree to an immediate ceasefire?”

              She was never President, so we’ll never know. Trump literally said he was going to “finish the problem” but you didn’t see any problems with letting him take office. How do you defend that decision?

                Harris said she supported Israel, unwavereringly.

                So, true, we don’t know for sure. Would have helped if she said she’d end US support for the genocide, if she won…

                  No it wouldn’t have. You’d have fallen for some other propaganda designed to get you to stay home.
