    People here still blaming this on minority voters are deafeningly silent on party leadership holding the coalition hostage over AIPAC funding

    Stop directing your anger at people being robbed of basic representation instead of political actors who are gleefully accepting blood money to turn against their constituents and a blind eye to genocide

      We know they’re war-criminals. There’s still a difference between that and leveling the place for a hotel. Trump gleefully accepted $100m from Adelson for the west bank.

      Stop assuming we’re pro-dems and not just anti-trump.

        This is the shit that drives me nuts. No matter how many fucking times you explain it, they just cannot wrap their heads around this for some reason. Or they refuse to.

          I’m not accusing anyone of being pro-dems, I’m pointing out that this line of reporting is intentionally misdirecting anger at voters - who can literally only react to the policies and governance of the democrats as they are - instead of the democrats sabotaging themselves for thinking they could have their cake and eat it too.

          Thinking that the democrats could participate in a highly-publicized genocide and not lose any voters is folly, but then turning around blaming the voters for the loss of votes is beyond hubris and well into delusion. Anyone with eyes could see this loss coming from a mile away and was screaming at the democrats to change course.

            It doesn’t matter if Democrats aren’t picture perfect. Anyone willing to rub brain cells together knows they’re infinitely better at governing than Republicans, including in regards to Palestine, and should vote accordingly. I don’t need the Democrats to cup my balls and talk dirty to me to know the smarter move is to vote for them. I don’t need to be courted every fucking election or my vote goes to a proto-fascist or I don’t vote at all.

            The majority of the fault is squarely on voters, not Democrats. Because they didn’t fucking inform themselves responsibly.

            But the voters are to blame. So is the DNC. Both suck…bad. Unfortunately, the majority of Americans, including their political representative, are more concerned with propping up failing capitalism than actually fixing solvable world issues. At this point, I find it impossible to envision creating enough public and political support for actual change unless the entire economic system burns down. My fear is that instead of galvanizing the working class, ian economic collapse is only going to create a vacuum to be filled by the next fascist to secure even greater control.

            If you have a practical solution, i’d love to hear it.

      The election was three months ago. These constant attempts to relitigate it are just an attempt by the right to divide the left.

      The truth is there is blame on both sides. Those who stayed home hold some responsibility, and the Biden admin is also to blame for shunning their own base.

      But now we have bigger fish to fry. There’s a constitutional crisis on, and a united front is needed against the right. Fuck the dividers. When someone tries to divide the left, call them out on it or downvote them to hell. They’re either a conservative or a Russian troll.

        The right didn’t need help to divide the left this election. The left did it itself. The American left splintered into toxic little sub groups who all hated each other, saw each other as unworthy allies and called each other fascists for being even slightly right or even left of each other. Meanwhile the right was unified and laughing at the left who so easily felll for the right’s manufactured war

          Yeah. There were a lot of people saying they wouldn’t vote for Biden or Harris due to one issue, even though Trump wouldn’t be an improvement on that one issue they wouldn’t vote for Biden on.

          Now they’re angry that Democrats have very little power to resist Trump.
