yes, ANYONE not taking a firm stance against white supremacy when your vote is your only power in this democracy, THAT was inconsiderate to arabs and others suffering
so i guess i took a firm stance against white supremacy
vote or not, i can still recognize the pain of arabs and understand why they wouldn't vote. i can also recognize that the lack of votes from them didn't explicitly put trump in place
Abstaining from voting was short sighted. Calls to abstain were always likely to improve Trump’s chances more than anything else since right wingers are intrinsically disinclined to support Palestine with it being a leftist movement, and it would only be leftists taking part.
Supporting genocide was short sighted. Vowing to never withhold weapons to Israel in order to force a ceasefire likely improved Trump's chances more than anything else.
Hell, I can keep going. Biden staying in the race, hiding his mental decline, and staying in the race until his brain leaked out of his ears on that debate stage in front of the whole world to see was also short-sighted. There should have been a primary.
In no way am I downplaying or passing the buck on the damage Trump is doing and will continue to do. But we all knew what type of time he was on. Kamala and Biden were perfectly okay with supporting Netanyahu's genocide even if it meant risking another Trump presidency.
Oh that's tarrific
delete this
brother white supremacy would still be alive under kamala
whether trump emboldens it or not, im still gonna get harassed. maybe i have a higher chance of get killed now but we were already getting killed to begin with. i understand the frustrations with trump which is why i didn't vote for him to begin with BUT kamala wasn't gonna stop white supremacy or bigotry or homophobia or anything and that's why she lost. her campaign came down to "im not the other guy" and that isn't inherently wrong but things aren't good to begin with and she promised nothing to change that. the illusion continues to dissipate when i see democrats hate on trans athletes post-election among other things...
yadayada kamala alienated her voter base and her voter base didnt vote for her. i wouldnt blame her voter base
id blame kamala and biden
notice how these people bringing up palestine who are still attached to the democratic party never engage with statements from palestinian organizations in palestine or in the diaspora? I posted one multiple times on the last page and yet crickets.
like why didn't these organizations agree with you? why did CAIR and the PFLP tell people to not vote for her due to the genocide? are arabs and muslims fanatical morons who just don't know what's good for them or is ktt user "maxxing" simply wrong? I suppose we'll never know for sure.

Facts. This is the moment the party is supposed to do introspection, realize where they screwed up, and how they can do better next time so they don't lose again.
Instead these fools have been running defense and shielding Kamala from criticism at every turn, which she and the rest of the party elites can see and are overjoyed by
Oh we in here talking about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on April 4th 2025 3 months after their defeat. The fight for im right and you're wrong continues

aint about right and wrong. its about who's going to rope others back into support for a genocide of arabs bc "its not trump" and who's going to divest from the homicidal racist mania of both mainstream parties.
you were close tho.

Not disagreeing with you but this was specifically about abstaining your vote. Like I said, we can blame the dems all we want but abstaining was the choice you made and you can think it was a moral victory but it was not a practical one.
Compare the amount of protests, attention, and media coverage pro-Palestine movements were getting under Biden, to headlines now, which all revolve around moving from one Trump atrocity to the next in a never ending spiral of bad policy.
My leftie friend talking about how there's legitimate ways for trump to run a third term cause his business buddies told him at work lmao

It’s true if you interpret the Constitution a certain way.
It just says you can only be elected President twice. Nothing about being elected Vice President with someone else as president, then they resign and the VP gets bumped up, granting you more than 2 terms

Yall still think we care about rules
Yall still think we care about rules
Exactly, I wish these people would admit; rules are gone and it doesn't matter.
Stop lying about it, you're advocating for everything that exists as a rule to cease to exist.
Move the f*** on, the constitution and the amendments don't matter. Just state you are fine with trump doing whatever he wants and you want it as the final rule.
It's over, don't s*** in my mouth and tell me to enjoy it. You are giving up on everything the second you say there are "legitimate" ways for a third time as we have exceptionally explicit language directly banning the actual thought of it baked into an amendment.
I'm over arguing, I am over debating, nothing matters except what trump states.
I hope for the love of God you people are preparing for the very near future. There's nothing any of us can do anymore aside from that.

This is not true and stop pushing this lie. The fact is they just won't care about the rules anymore. The Constitution is clear after the amendment passed to make sure another FDR doesn't happen.

In other U.S. elections, candidates are elected directly by popular vote. But the president and vice president are not elected directly by citizens. Instead, they are chosen through the Electoral College process.
How does my vote count in the Electoral College?
Forty-eight states and Washington, D.C. award all their electoral votes to the candidate who receives the greater vote share statewide (“winner take all”). The two exceptions are Maine (four electoral votes) and Nebraska (five), which each allot two electoral votes to the candidate who wins the most votes statewide. The remaining votes are allocated to candidates according to the winner of each congressional district, meaning that the states’ electoral votes may be split between two or more candidates.
It is possible for a candidate to win the most votes nationally but lose the electoral vote, ultimately losing the election. An election in which the winning candidate for president did not win the most individual votes has only occurred five times in U.S. history, most recently in 2016:
John Quincy Adams (1824)
Rutherford B. Hayes (1876)
Benjamin Harrison (1888)
George W. Bush (2000)
Donald Trump (2016)

“White supremacy would still be alive” is such a ridiculous response. Yes, no one action will fix everything. That’s not a reason to not take a step in the right direction.
White supremacy is intertwined with capitalism which is destroying us all, we can’t fix it if you’re gonna wait for the one perfect person that fixes white supremacy to convince you to vote.
Kamala would have been a step away from white supremacy and the patriarchy, both intertwined with capitalism, if not just because another white supremacist would not be in office.
I mean you said Kamala lost because she didn’t give people a reason to vote for her. Im just saying that, you can’t wait for people to give you a reason, you have to think for yourself about what path you want to choose. Trump is not just any white supremacist, he’s a very powerful and connected one, who originally popped off politically because of racist gossip about Obama basically.

https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1908060104991420678It’s time for the millions of people who stayed home to take a long f***ing look in the mirror and ask themselves, if the scariest, dumbest, most unhinged, most fascist white supremacist billionaire wasn’t enough of a threat to get people to vote against him, than what will happen in the next election when the same white demon is now disguised in a more charismatic, less crazy package. We are f***ed.
Trump defeat should’ve been a lay-up, up next is gonna be a way more difficult opponent, the next republican will be trump 2.0, he’s gonna win and libs are gonna be on the internet in 2028 saying “yeah he can take over and kill all poor people, trans people, minorities, etc. idc because the democrats are not convincing me enough”
