    Eh.

    I’m not ready to forgive the utterly ignorant fools who abstained from voting or voted 3rd party and helped put us in the situation we’re in.

    They do not deserve to be forgiven. Especially this fast. I like accountability.

      You have two guilty parties on the left side of the aisle:

      1. Centrist Democrats, who ignored the pleadings of their own base and chose facilitating genocide over winning an election.
      2. Myopic Palestine supporters who decided Palestine was the only issue that matters.

      Get your head out of your ass. It is possible for both parties to be at fault. They were both playing chicken, and if either had blinked, the outcome may have been different. If two drivers are playing chicken, driving towards each other at high speed, and they end up colliding? You don’t try to argue who was to blame. You say, “you’re both fucking stupid” and divide the legal liability equally.

        chose facilitating genocide over winning an election.

        Would you prefer they lied about stopping support for Israel to win the election and then went back on the promise? Because there’s no reality in which the U.S. jeopardizes its most valuable ally in the Middle East. And changing up your stance on international politics to win elections every 4 years is how you end up with no allies. Both Harris and Biden repeatedly expressed disapproval of what our ally was doing. That’s the best we were going to get. And that’s way better than where we find ourselves now.

        Get your head out of your ass.

        It is. That’s why I voted for the best option for my own country AND for Palestinians.
