ITT: libs finally realize a genocide is going on and actually care about it now
Other than this meme ridiculously implying that if only the pro-Palestine vote would have gone to Harris instead of Trump, then Harris would have won (two ridiculous claims not backed by the reality of the data): Can we please stop with that notion, that the Democrats are trying to stop what’s going on in Palestine and finally see it as the US foreign policy that it is? Who has the power in that relationship? Without the US, Israel has a fraction of its weapons, billions of dollars less for their own civil programs and no shielding from international law. Don’t act like the Biden administration has been genuinely trying to stop a genocide, when they:
- are supplying weapons (Biden even circumventing congress in at least one case)
- continuing payments
- are spreading debunked Israeli propaganda even after they’re debunked while ignoring or actively delegitimizing information to the contrary
- actively bomb the Huthi’s who attack ships headed for Israel (also with weapons)
- vetoing or threatening to veto anything that furthers international law on that matter in the Security Council
- diplomatically and threatingly shielding Israeli threats to the ICC and ICJ
- actively delegitimize the ICJ and their decisions openly
- are threatening countries with sanctions if they don’t adopt outrageous laws and standards redefining anti-semitism and cracking down
- are pressuring countries to tow the line with zionist support
- … (list is not extensive)
This behavior isn’t new. International law didn’t matter, when the US offensively brought death and destruction to Afghanistan and Iraq and as a result again in Iraq and Syria. Or when they did the same with the EU in Lybia,. Or when they supplied Saudi Arabia with weapons and support for their genocide in Yemen, and are supplying Egypt with weapons and support for their water war in Sudan, which has seen atrocity after atrocity in its wake. This isn’t even an extensive list of just this century.
They aren’t trying to stop it. All the public lip-service is but theater as are the negotiations. Which should become clear at the latest, when Israel assassinates their negotiating partners and then the US claims, that there is no one from the other side joining the table…
Fuck around: do genocide, ignore your base who are apalled by genocide
Find out: lose election
If you want to keep losing, keep doing this same shit. Most liberals seem like they would rather lose than agree with online leftists.
Sure is going to be difficult to enact change when met with a regime that wants to regress. Hope that y’all who didn’t vote are happy with the outcome cause I sure ain’t.
This post doesnt belong in political humor.
Why are Liberals are taking expedited genocide of Palestinas as consultation price?
ignores core voter issues
spends entire campaign talking about how opponent is worse
Tells entire uncommitted voter base to fuck off
“Why did the voters do this to us? Those must be 10 million russian/maga/chinese shills in disguise.”
Love the font. Reminds me of Rexlia, but it’s slightly different.
Libs would rather cry for months about how they completely botched an election than do anything to stop a genocide.
I’m sure some of these strawman exist in a field somewhere keeping the crows away.
Democrats need to get rid of First Past The Post voting in the blue states they control. Time to admit they need help and shouldn’t be going alone against the republicans
More democracy. More chances to defeat the republicans. More people engaged and involved in the political process.
More people voting = more votes for democrats. More chances of republicans electing a more moderate candidate.Electoral reform is an absolute win for the people of this country. Except for the legacy poltical parties. They will unfortunately have to compete for your vote. If they are unable to stay relevant, that’s on them for becoming weak and frail using FPTP as a crutch.
Why would people vote for Republican Lite, if there’s the real deal? At least now we know chasing these Republican votes was foolish and that we should campaign on universal leftist points. Right? Right???
Lay it off with blaming people who are mad at Democrats about Gaza for Trump. Honestly, it’s tired, inaccurate, and wrong. Trump won the popular vote. The Dems ran a shitty campaign, they had no message, and failed to inspire 10 million of their previous voters.
It’s really sad. It’s really sad that reality has no effect on the people.
I mean in all fairness we did tell them that exactly this would happen. It’s their open damn fault they, and the rest of us, now have to try and survive in the still-rotting corpse of democracy.
Edit, add: Their self centered, short-sighted voting choice has screwed over everybody else along with them. I’m not going to feel particularly bad about the hardships they’ve invited on themselves, whether through stupidity, logical fallacy, ignorance, emotional thinking, or (in the case of actual T supporters) actually believing blatantly stupid bullshit.

It is not like you cared about the genocide when Biden was president. At least now the decorum is gone.
Hell, the only thing Harris voters have left is the bitter pleasure of watching the Trump voters and non-voters suffer with us. I will not extend an ounce of anything but schadenfreude their way for any bit of pain they feel as a consequence of their own actions.
classic neoliberal compassion
At some point, “They want to see us literally dead and we just want them to have healthcare” has to become, “Well, at least they’ll die, too.”
Twenty million people includes a majority of democrats. You did this to yourselves, and you did it to everyone else too. You’re scum, you’ve probably destroyed democracy, and when the republicans start their pogroms, I’m not going to shed tears for liberals. You got us into this mess, so you can do the dying.
Wow, you big mad. I certainly didn’t, and blaming liberals for electing Trump is maybe the stupidest way to shed your guilt you could’ve chosen lol
If there were 20 million leftists, you wouldn’t be able to laugh at us every election. This is your fault, whether you want to admit it or not. Democrats stayed home in record numbers, and failed the nation.
The thing is, leftists are armed. Liberals are not. It’s not us who has to worry about nazis coming. We’re gonna look out for our queer and trans brothers and sisters, but you guys? You can have a front row seat to Gaetz weaponizing the DOJ and taking revenge on you for defying Trump. It’s gonna be a rough four years for you.
Why does ‘leftist’ rhetoric sound scarily similar to extremist conservative rhetoric?
Because both are anti-government, and liberals rely on government violence to maintain the status quo that keeps them comfortable. You don’t like threats to your privilege.
Hmm nope, pretty sure it’s a bit of mental illness mixed with extremist language.
we are simultaneously a small amd pathetic minority, but also able to swing a major election on a major country. just pick one already.
I mean, honestly, I don’t think people protesting Democrats because of the genocide were what caused Dems to lose. I honestly believe it was because the Dems refused to acknowledge that times are hard for non-billionaires. That being said, anyone who voted for trump thinking he’d be better is an absolute fool.
It may have been a factor in Michigan. Their are about 300 Arab and Muslim Americans in Michigan, an estimated 200K of which are registered to vote, and Uncommitted vote had about 100K votes in the primary, which is less than Trump’s margin of victory. There’s going to be a lot of nuance examining how the anti-Genocide voters might have affected the electoral map, and I’m not sure we’ll ever get a straight answer.
It doesn’t matter to people who share these memes, though. They don’t like looking at the numbers. In their head, they have an image of a young, entitled white kid with a Genocide Joe sign who just wouldn’t listen to reason. An analysis would probably show that person is more likely to be Arab or Muslim with close ties to the Palestinian community, and that knowledge would make them uncomfortable.
Dems refused to acknowledge that times are hard for non-billionaires.
Agreed. It’s why the number of people who just didn’t vote dwarfs the number of people who switched parties.
i don’t think leftists voted for trump though.
it’s almost like every vote matters.
*~only applies to swing states~
5 million is a small minority in a country of 300 million.
5 million votes means a lot when it’s a close election.
it wasnt close though.
Sounds like the Dems should have pandered better to them then. They had a billion dollars to find out what marginal vote block would give them the edge.
Even if Dems won Michigan, they still lost Georgia and Pennsylvania. 5 million votes is a lot, but where those votes come from matter in our system
Progressives are 8% of the voting population. So they are more like 27 million voters.
