Framing anyone unhappy with genocide as a purity testing lefty who didn’t get everything they wanted so they pouted and sat out the election is wildly blasé, however, and its gross that that’s a popular sentiment here.
It’s reasonable, because most people whining about supporting Israel’s genocide don’t acknowledge that it’s a policy of the US government that anybody who could ever win an election would also support. It’s unconscionable, it’s horrible, it’s a crime against humanity, but it’s also not a factor in choosing who to vote for to cause the least harm in a shitty first past the post system.
Yes, I don’t disagree. That’s what i did.
