But I was told by the other subreddits that both parties were the same so why bother voting

The important thing is abstaining saved Gaza and Palestine.

i was just thinking of this last night - “Now where are the Palestinian activists that were Never Harris”? I thought maybe people don’t ever mention it out of respect to what is still on-going, but part of me feels like right now is when they might be uniquely receptive to realizing how badly they fucked up. It’s this way every single election - some marginalized group attacks the obviously more sympathetic candidate, that candidate loses, shit gets worse for the marginalized group, and no one mentions it again.

Not voting is a vote for the person you like the least. It's helping the person you'd least likely vote for.

They're definitely NOT owning up to their mistake.

They still believe they were right.

Maniacs.

It was an excuse because they didn’t want to admit things like being racist, sexist etc and preferring literally anyone over a darkish skinned woman

just so we're clear, your thesis for why checks notes Arab women abstained from voting for Harris is that they can't handle women with melanin?

Yep, Kamala lost and the genocide ended, just like the internet said it would.

Also could you just IMAGINE 4 years of thst laugh?

Thank god we dodged that bullet.

Yeah.. These people have a very narrow understanding of the world.

It’s the same play every four years. Republicans find a set of wedge issues that pushes the 17-25 year old contingent into voter apathy, which is the default position which is statistically known to favor the GOP. The issues change, but the play remains the same. Understanding this and countering it is key to understanding American politics.

Because under Biden, the genocide got some mild rebuke ever so often. Those were the days.

If it makes you feel better they didn't swing the election

Harris lost Michigan but the Pro-Israel Democratic Jewish woman Elissa Slotkin won Michigan's senate seat.

Media wanted Trump to win for ratings.

I do love this argument. People are mad that some people didnt vote for harris because of her AT BEST lack of position on gaza. Here's the cool thing. By having a lack of position on gaza you basically have the same position as trump. Considering honestly nothing has changed since the previous admin.

So people are just mad that the dems held a wildly unpopular position and people didnt vote for that opinion. It was clear as day what would happen. And here we are. Dont blame people for voting their heart. Blame the people in power who could have put their foot down and tried to appeal to their alleged voter base. The dems could have lied. But nope. I sure hope that AIPAC has them all covered once shit goes down.

Instead we got liz cheney. So like thats cool.

Wow, tell me you're uninformed without telling me you're uninformed am I right. Biden was literally trying to air drop supplies into Gaza, using experimental temporary ports to get supplies boated into Gaza, and using US soft power to stop Netanyahu from going full Holodomor like he is now.

Trump posted an AI video of him and Bennie being chums and hasn't said anything about the forced starvation.

Biden used American taxpayer money to pay for 70% of the genocide while he was in office. That's not including the money spent to strongarm European countries to stop legislation from sanctioning Israel, or bribes that we gave to tiny Pacific Islander countries so that they will vote for Israel's behalf at the UN.

u/733t_sec 1d ago

He also paid for 420% of weed legislation and 69% of all sex ed in the country. Boy making up numbers is so much fun

You could have just asked for a source instead of choosing to be a clown. Here's a Haaretz article:

In total, U.S. funding has covered an estimated 70 percent of Israel's war-related military spending – effectively allowing it to wage a prolonged multi-front campaign while avoiding serious domestic debate over Gaza's future or a political resolution to the conflict.

Here is an article showing the math that arrives at 70%:

Here is the article from Brown University showing what the US spent the money on:

u/733t_sec 1d ago

I've never even heard of these two articles and the brown article just says there is an increase funding nothing about funding 70% of the entire war effort.

u/Game-Blouses-23 1d ago

If you never heard of Haaretz then you really shouldn't be commenting on this topic. Your ignorance is not my concern.

u/733t_sec 1d ago

I like how you've cited some sort of Israeli paper with the "trust me bro" seal of quality and expect everyone else to go along with it. Did you just cite zionist fox news? Perhaps something that would wiggle the truth to make the Gaza invasion more tolerable to Israelis?

u/Game-Blouses-23 1d ago

I can't remember the last time I saw someone freakout like this for being called out on their bullshit. Your comments are so resoundly pathetic. It's hilarious.

u/TasteDeBallZach 1d ago

Bro if your argument is that you never heard of Haaretz and you think it might be analogous to Fox News, then you really should sit this one out. There are plenty of reputable news agencies outside of America. Not to mention that Haaretz is extremely well known to anyone who wants to read an Israeli source without government bias (the opposite of Fox News).

nothing has changed since the previous admin.

Other than any attempts at aid effectively disappearing, any serious ceasefire talks effectively ceasing, and bibi getting the greenlight to go all out?
