Poor one out for all your LGBTQ+ homies in America, they’re about to be hunted for sport.

    I’m not disagreeing with you. All I’m saying is that I understand why say a Palistinian American might be adverse to voting for the side actively faning the flames to a genocide including their own family members. I can imagine waking up and being told you should vote for the side that supplied the bombs that exploded half your family and going “why? So the other half can also get bombed? My whole family is going to die either way” and that being their rational for not voting.

      Wh vote for the side that didn’t interfere when someone else bombed your family, when you can help elect someone who will encourage them to bomb every living relative too

        JFC. What is with you people? I don’t understand what you want from me. I voted blue straight down ballot in a swing state and I yelled at my lefty friends to do the same.

        All I am saying and have been saying is I understand why people whose friends and family are being exterminated might not want to vote for team actively arming the people commiting a genocide.

        Hell, theres another post right now on lefty memes about how the harris team knew saying they’d stop arming isreal would give them a jump in the polls.

            It wasn’t the time before we lost either.

            Saying you understand why something happened isn’t being smug or in any way happy about the outcome.

            Stop externalizing your poor mental state and take a break from the internet or something.

              Maybe you can take some of that empathy for people who straight didn’t care enough to fucking vote and redirect a little of it toward people who rightly care about what’s just happened.

                What just happened is for two months the entire democratic party was toxic as fuck towards a large swath of voters. both arabs and pro workers. and now you want empathy after being toxic fucking morons towards people literally telling you what was going to happen if the dems didn’t shape up.

                You can continue being a toxic fuck or go do some shrooms and get some perspective on life.

                    Sure, OK. But it’s not a universal observation. Leaving off “to me” makes it so. That commenter didn’t sound that way to me. See how that works?
