In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

    You’re rewriting history. People stayed home because they refused to vote for genocide, and that’s what Democrats offered unapologetically. You don’t get to blame the voter for not choosing between genocide or genocide plus, you’re not morally superior for voting for Harris.

      Then vote for a third party, and make your voice heard. If 10% of the vote went to an anti-genocide party, at least next time Democrats would realise that being pro-genocide is bad for them.

        They already realize it and don’t care.

      Side note: while the Gaza genocide was absolutely a factor for many people, I really don’t think most of the voting base used that as the basis for their vote (or for staying home). Americans by and large have become wildly selfish and egocentric, as a society (and I say that as an American who does their best to be an outlier in that regard). I really do think that the biggest determinant of a person staying home was fatigue at the status quo, and a couple of years of 10% inflation alongside the fact that everyone in the DNC was trumpeting about how great the economy was doing, while a VERY large percentage of the populace had lived through at least two “once in a lifetime” economic crises, and the playing field continues to get visibly worse as time goes on.

      Yes I do. And yes I am.

      You said “I don’t care what the trolley does because this test isn’t moral”

      The rest of us actually made a choice.

      Get fucked. You helped put my trans son in danger and I don’t fuck with ANY of you fucks cosplaying as revolutionaries.

      You’re children.

        Members of the party you support ran anti-trans hate in their own ads. The presumptive frontrunner for their 2028 nominee threw trans people under the bus to appease the fascist guest he had on his podcast.

        centrist democrats are as committed to trans rights as they are to any issue (save one). Which is to say, they will abandon it at the first sign of a disapproving look from a fascist. centrist democrats have solidarity with exactly one man on this earth, and his name is netanyahu.
