  • Did anyone tell the Palestinians that this would have been the same and to not worry? We had brave, brave people who sat on their hands and did nothing in their name, so I hope they're grateful for their "sacrifice."

    • The more common correlary was to sit on one's hands and provide consent for genocide or to try to vote shame on support of genocidal candidates.

      Though I think you know that those who stand with Palestine tend to be more politically active than your typical Democratic voter. I know I don't see your type in the streets or running education programs or building connections to support Palestinians directly.

      • Oh my, my type? Goodness, you know, I didn't see your type either now that I think about it! When I went to protests and meetings in my community, I'm afraid I didn't see you there, I only saw people who we trying to actually help people, you know, the ones that knew they were between and rock and a hard place, but actually tried to not hand the government over to a blood thirsty racist, while making sure the community was informed in what steps to take should he win and are now continuing to rally and make their voices heard instead of "not VoTiNg fOr GeNoCiDe" which, you know, kind of got us here.

        But perhaps it's scary to stand for a belief off of the internet, but I'm unfamiliar with the feeling because my mom didn't raise a removed.

        Don't worry, we'll handle it, sport. You just stay safe inside, okay? ♥️

          Speaking about this as if they are over and not something ongoing says a lot. I'm leaning towards this just being a lie.

          I have never seen a pro-Palestinian protest with that message. That just sounds like you projecting your armchair liberal takes onto other people.

          The people who organize pro-Palestinian protests are socialists and allied Palestinian groups, occasionally JVP. And while JVP is milquetoast and weak, even they aren't that mealy-mouthed.

          I wonder what slur you used while calling yourseld a good person.

          It id also telling that this is the only part of my comment that you replied to.

    • They were braver than that, friend! They took to the internet in droves, and in every comment thread they showed everyone how principled they were, commenting "I ReFUsE to VoTE 4 GENOCIDE!!!!!!!", spreading their message to either vote 3rd party or don't vote at all. They worked hard AF to spread their apathy far and wide!

    • You could literally ask them yourself. They quite explicitly refused to vote for you and your genocidal racist candidate.

      You brave, brave keyboard warrior who would get their ass beat if you said any of this in person

      • Lmao I would absolutely square up against a fascist. Don't threaten me with a good time. See, I'm an adult. I understand the work doesn't stop at the vote, but I know how important it is to do what I can, even if it's small. And I know that giving the government the equivalent of a cold shoulder allows shit to happen. Evil happens when good people do nothing, and, unlike you I guess, I refuse to do nothing. I'm involved in my local government and plan to keep working. I'd say you should do the same, but I think we both know that ain't happening. But I hope you feel good doing nothing but bad mouthing those braver than you on the internet. Just down vote me and be on your way. 💅🏾
