    the lack of lemmy.ml accounts on this post is amusing.

    almost like they’re too afraid to admit they were wrong or they were Russian trolls all along.

      When I pointed out that Harris supporters shouldn’t have embraced genocide on the day of the election I got a temp ban for “trolling”.

      Maybe do some introspection.

          Did you miss all of the people supporting a lesser evil Harris genocide? Many are in this thread right now trying to preemptively pass blame for everything Trump does onto those who opposed the genocide and refused to vote for its committers.

          This is in no way a pro-Palestinian space, either. This thread has many examples of “the pro Palestinian protesters were a Russian plot!” and, “hope you enjoy Palestinians dying, non-voters!” sentiments.

              Almost everyone in north Gaza will be dead by new years. That happened entirely under Biden. Do you think Trump will kill them a second time?

              We all know Trump is objectively worse but your argument is terrible; it’s like the Americans saying we should overlook Bush’s atrocities like Abu Ghraib because Saddam Hussein was worse. No, that’s just a fallacy.

                Your premise is based on this: "Almost everyone in north Gaza will be dead by new years. "

                Which is clearly and obviously false. Check back with me on Jan 1.

                “Do you think Trump will kill them a second time?”

                The Trump administration will enable the complete erasure of the Palestinian people and their land. Huckabee has said as much already. Israelis have said as much too. I believe them.

                Finally, do you think nothing else matters? Do you think the consequences of a Trump administration beyond Palestine don’t matter? If so, I’d encourage you to spend less time virtue signaling and more time checking your privilege.

          .ml has some trigger happy mods but nobody gets banned for criticizing the democratic party for supporting a genocide.

          You can tell how much of an echo chamber it is here since there are no weapons restrictions for Trump to lift. Because the democrats did not place any.

            Oh you don’t get banned for going along with Russian propaganda? Wow, weird huh.

            But then you do get banned for pointing out Russian propaganda.

            Here.

            That’s @davel@lemmy.ml pushing against BlueSky, spreading his usual bullshit links about “Nazis”. He thinks Ukraine is filled with Nazis and Russia was right to invade it. Now “BlueSky is filled with Nazis”

            It doesn’t take a genius to suss this out, but that’s what the poorly educated Russians don’t get. Or they rely on Americans being equally stupid, which is a good bet, honestly.

            But for people with a normal amount of media/political literacy? Lol.

                You guys genuinely can’t argue like adults, it’s very irritating.

                I’ve not followed anyone around nor have I made any personal attacks. Is “are you pro-Russian?” a personal attack in your opinion? I guess we’ll find out.

                Are you pro-Russian?

                Do you believe Russia has broken international law with their illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine in February 2022?

                (And I know you won’t answer any of that, you’ll just continue with the garbage quality propaganda. Which is to say utilising shitty rhetoric to push your agenda. Ie the childish nature of your wannabe argument. I wish you could see just how ridiculous it is, but you’re genuinely not able to. If you were, you’d be too ashamed to write that, lol.)

We’ll have a whole conversation about it, and I’ll teach you to use it better… after you reply to a simple yes or no question: Do you believe Russia has broken international law with their illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine in February 2022?

        There were two ways to vote for Trump. 1) Mark Trump on your ballot and turn it in, or 2) Not vote for Harris, not turn in a ballot at all.

        Quit being coy, just take a bow and acknowledge your victory. You stood strong against genocide, and helped elect the only candidate who can’t be reasoned with and whose stated political policy was to SPEED UP THE GENOCIDE. Congrats! If you thought their blood wasn’t on your hands before, it absolutely is now.

          In that case, Trump has won with an overwhelming majority in every election he’s ever run in, since nonvoters are like half the population and all of them count as voting for Trump.

          Back here in reality, that’s not how it works.

          By this logic a vote for Jill Stein would be a vote for Harris, lol. Question your political masters, this just isn’t logical at all.

          Quit being coy, just take a bow and acknowledge your victory.

          It is good for Democratic voters to have failed while supporting genocide. You shouldn’t support genocide and I shouldn’t have to lecture you like this. Be a good person.

          You stood strong against genocide, and helped elect the only candidate who can’t be reasoned with and whose stated political policy was to SPEED UP THE GENOCIDE.

          Israel already has unconditional support for its genocide and opened up two new fronts with the suppory of the Biden-Harris administration. Israel does not have one hsnd tied behind its back. The dominant global empire supports it materially and diplomatically.

          Your lesser evil logic means nothing here. It is again just a thought terminating cliché from your political masters. Instead of justifying lesser-evil genocide, please go and inform yourself and work to help others.

          Congrats! If you thought their blood wasn’t on your hands before, it absolutely is now.

          Blood is on the hands of those committing and supporting genocide, not those who fifht against it. Look at how this political illogic has twisted your understanding of basic reality.

            Nope, it was the apathy. Democrats that came out to vote for Biden 4 years ago stayed home. That’s a FACT you can count in the number of votes cast this election vs last.

            You know what else is a fact? People that stayed home and didn’t vote DIDN’T GET EXIT POLLED.

              Exit polls and polls leading up to election. Come on now, lets not mince words or pretend the data wasnt obvious. They did know. It was all over the news snce the day she started her run.

              “The economy, particularly inflation and the cost of living, is the primary issue for a majority of voters.”

              https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm24g1nj364o

              Bidens historically low approval rating was well documented, and the reason for it being low was well understood. She chose to say that “she couldnt think of anything she’d change” or something like that. She ran on a platform that had already ended up on the rocks long ago. Centrists just put their fingers in their ears and pretended Biden was the second coming of FDR whenever Biden was criticised, but the numbers were there waiting to be read.

              88% of Americans disagreed with how the US was acting in the Israeli war on gazans. She knew that wouldnt be consequence free. She ran with it anyway. Thats just Bidens stubborn rightwing petulant stupidity thats been the hallmark of his entire career bleeding into Harrnis’ campaign. A competent politician wouldnt have talken on that baggage when it was so obviously going to cost big in swing states.

              https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/arab-american-voters-struggle-to-back-harris-over-u-s-support-for-israels-war-in-gaza

              “The vice president has said she would not change from Biden’s policies, and argued that Israel has a right to defend itself. But she has also said that far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed”

            Harris lost because of a lack of blue voters who didn’t get an exit poll.

            There were more red there, and they claim to have voted because of economy because racism and hurting the other team wasn’t on the official ticket.

          It’s fine, the internet will internet. Unless someone tells me what I’ve done wrong, I’m just gonna assume one downvote gave it the initial velocity for more downvotes. Trying to understand it beyond that will make you go crazy.
