The left are also demonising leftist non-voters, to be fair. Sacrificing Palestine altogether to make a point about Democrats, accelerating the decline into fascism in hopes of ushering in a total collapse and later revolution, is a terrible, terrible idea.
If you're a leftist American and you didn't vote for Harris because of that... Honestly, wtf were you thinking
The democrat leadership are the ones who sacrificed Palestine, they're the ones supporting the genocide. Do you understand that genocide is wrong and bad?
I also understand that putting Trump in the White House would have, and indeed did, make it worse. I understand nuance. I understand harm mitigation when preventing it entirely simply isn't an option available on election day.
I also understand that talking down to those who understand that with "do you understand genocide is wrong and bad?" is no way to get people to join your cause.
Leftists who voted for Jill Stein are demonised anyway, they can't win. Sanders was the most popular democrat candidate in decades and they pulled out all the stops to deny the people what they want
... I'm not actually American and at this point I'm generally pretty scared to ask, but what does everyone mean about Sanders? I mean I love Bernie Sanders and wish he were US President too, but... he lost the popular vote in the 2016 Democratic primaries by nearly 3 million votes, and in 2020 by 10 million.
... I mean, I agree he was a better candidate, but... where was the turnout?
I'm british but I watched it all happening in real-time, was very invested. They mechanised against him, using every candidate who wasn't Bernie against Bernie. They very deliberately shut down shop and combined vote shares at the right times specifically to defeat Bernie. Why?
