    Are you happy you didn’t “support genocide”? Did it make the world a better place?

      I am indeed happy that I didn’t “support genocide”. But no, it didn’t make the world a better place. Are you happy that you supported genocide? Did that make the world a better place?

        The fact that you think people who supported Democrats supported genocide is infantile and shows that you are arguing in bad faith.

        Funnily enough your moral high grounding resulted in school lunch programs being discontinued. So good job now we have a genocide AND more hungry kids domestically

          Homie, please stop arguing with this person. You’re not doing yourself any favors and giving them what they want.

          Like maga idiots, they get off knowing they upset you. And you deserve better, if only as an obligation to yourself. Plus you are giving them a stage to preach their dumbassery.

          Funnily enough, the DNC running unpopular candidates on unpopular policies resulted in school lunch programs being discontinued. So good job now we have a genocide AND more hungry kids domestically.

          Maybe the DNC should put out candidates and policies that people want, instead of running Republican-light candidates.

            Lol. Congrats. You have successfully twisted yourself into a pretzel to avoid placing blame where it belongs. On the American electorate.

              Or… It could be placed on the supposedly opposition party, who ran unpopular candidates on unpopular platforms. Maybe they should have tried to fight against Trump, instead of trying to co-opt his policies.

            You made a choice and that made kids hungry. Own up to you. You can justify it however you want. You can use whatever prose and logic you wish, but you and many others like you bear that responsibility.

            The dems can be a whole hell of a lot better, and so can you. I’m sorry you found neither shool lunch programs for hungry kids and abortion rights for women an appealing policy of their platform

              You made a choice for Genocide, own up to you. I find it interesting that you are mad at me, but not willing to own up to your own decisions.

              I wanted Democrats to solidify those programs so that they couldn’t be taken away, but the Democrats didn’t want to so that they could dangle them in front of voters every election cycle. Maybe if we had a serious party we wouldn’t be in this mess.

              But I don’t know why you are so angry. You got to keep the genocide, the child-bombings, the wars, the open corruption, and the attacks against the working class that you wanted.

                Frankly I don’t care how you try to justify it. Project 2025 was not a secret. Now my sister lives in fear of how she’ll make ends meet and provide Healthcare for my niece. And I am looking at being unemployed all due to Trump’s policies.

                Your logic doesn’t change Trump’s actions nor does it change the absolute devastation facing me and my family.

                These plans were not a secret, and instead of casting a vote for less suffering you stayed home. Ensuring the suffering of not only people here, but an accelerated genocide.

                But hey at least you think you have the moral high ground. Must be nice having the privilege to both judge and not feel the effects of Trump’s policies at home. Daddy leave you an emerald mine too?

                  No you don’t understand. We should let Trump win because Biden let Trump win. Run on a platform of spite!

                    EDIT: I didn’t get the sarcasm of the above reply. I’m leaving my reply below for visibility even though I don’t agree with it anymore because of that context.

                    I didn’t “let” Trump win, I voted against him. If I had the ability to kick him out of the race, I would have. But I also would have done the same to Biden and Harris since they both openly fought against what I wanted.

                  Well, you’re clearly wrong on multiple points here. I knew about 2025, and never claimed ignorance of it. I live in fear of being taken away to a camp, and am also looking at unemployment. I have multiple health problems that are going to haunt me for the rest of my life because I can’t get them fixed because of Trump. I’m terrified that my SO is going to be dragged out of our home.

                  And I didn’t stay home, I voted against genocde and fascism. The people you show allegience to support both the genocide, and the facists. I don’t know why you keep defending them, when they are the ones that pushed Trump into office the first time, and have since been giving half-assed attempts to fight him, when they aren’t openly supporting him. You can be mad at me for not wanting fascism or genocide, but I find it telling that you’d rather be mad at me, than be mad at the genocidists or the fascists supporters.

                    Doesn’t seem like it. You valued your virtue signaling more.

                    Now my family has to worry about being able to eat and you worry about your SO. Frankly I worry about mine too

                    Neither of these things would be happening under a Kamala presidency, but that doesn’t matter to you it seems.

                    You may find this hard to believe but you can vote for harm reduction and continue to protest the things you disagree with.

                    If you believe that the democrats lead us to fascism through a lack luster campaign then you acknowledge that a Democrat win would have resulted in the prevention of fascism. That means you chose fascism. I guess we all have to live with the consequences of your actions.

                    Also you underestimate the number of things I can be mad at. I can be mad at Trump, the Democrats and people like you all at the same time. You’ve made it very clear you can only comprehend one issue at a time, but trust me I have enough anger. I’ll keep marching until they stop me ✌️
