  • This is a thread about what Trump is currently doing and the most upvoted comment is blaming voters. I don’t know what alienating people after the election serves. It’s literally going to make sure they repeat the same behavior, doubly so if the dems feel confident enough to run on apathy a second time.

    My point is that currently, most here seem to be vocal about the wrong thing. They voted stupidly but we’re goaded into it by a party that clearly does not represent its constituantes anymore. We should be asking the party to change but we are doing the opposite.


  • In a real life trolley problem, you are supposed to blame the ones driving the train and tying up people to tracks, not the guy pulling the lever.

    Yes not voting was stupid, but it’s dumber to actually think they hold the blame. The dems won’t even acknowledge being pro genocide was a bad move and it’s because they feel confident their base has been manipulated to blame a scape goat.

    What kind of change are we to expect if we can’t even be vocal about something so ridiculous as supporting genocide even after most of us held the line and voted for it anyways. Keep them accountable and stop giving them an easy out.




  • There is a difference between non-citizens and a population you have kept in prison over decades.

    During the apartheid in South Africa, the black population was systematically denied citizenship. Would you consider those fair elections?

    But I guess any rhetoric is okay as long as it’s in defense of the great genocidal warmongering state of Israel. I’m guessing you have a connection with the nation, but rabidly defending pure evil is always a bad look, even if you were raised to do so.


  • They cannot be free and fair. The very fact that it’s an apartheid state means segments of the population are not represented fairly.

    Technically, palestinians can vote but they must be “citizens of israel” and getting the title is very hard, mainly because Israel makes it difficult. Gaza and most of the west bank cannot vote in national elections.

    Any politician that isn’t Jewish faces massive discrimination and there are laws to make sure they can’t actually lead or gain power.
