    Lmao, Harris didn’t lose because of Stein or the youth vote. Stein hurt Trump more than any other candidate and Harris won the youth vote. The whole “Palestine protesters were sponsored by Russia and lost us the election” shtick is one of two things. A) a way to manufacture consent for globalizing the Palestinian genocide; B) a way to run away from the fact that Harris lost because she had nothing to offer and didn’t even pretend to offer a solution to the contradictions of capitalism.

    Wouldn’t the “leopard ate my face” moment have been Palestinian Americans voting for Joe Biden and then him doing a genocide against their families?

    The leopard eating face moment already happened.

    liberals should support china by their own logic

    say every accusation they have against china committing genocide is true, they’ve already made it clear genocide is an acceptable compromise in the face of a greater evil, and china is clearly the lesser evil compared to the united states.

    all the things they say china is supposedly doing wouldn’t hold a candle to what the US has been doing regularly to muslims for decades now

    The Democrats in that thread are indistinguishable from Nazis.

    EDIT: the deportation thing is also super telling. Citizens vote. Are they calling for race based deportation of people with citizenship or buying into Republican conspiracy theories about immigrants voting? Either way fuck these people.

    Smugly blaming minorities for their own persecution is definitely an item in the “how to be a liberal” starter pack.

    I am not sure how many of these people just thought it was fine because Kamala would win, but I know probably all of them thought that if Trump did win that there would be mass protests by Democrats to help them out.

    I have some bad news for them. A lot of us aren’t interested in that this time because Trump won the electoral and popular vote. It’s also tiring to try to keep people from hurting themselves, and at a certain point you just need to give up and let them experience it firsthand in the hopes they will finally pay attention. They are in for a rude awakening.

      Fuck these crackers. It’s the other way around you dumbfuck racist libs. Leftists, especially leftist PoC, are constantly catering to white liberals to try and get small concessions. We compromise with them all the time to avoid shit like economic depressions or a full collapse of the environment. We don’t want to. They’re hostile and unhelpful the whole time. Yet we still do it to not make things worse for the most vulnerable. We ejected the Posadists for a reason.

      And in comes whitey with this condescending bullshit. We’ve been fighting this fight longer than we’ve been alive. Trump is the point where a lot of people gave up and will let these useless fucking white liberals experience a small fraction of what marginalized people face every day.

      I’d slap the shit out of someone if they said that to me in person. They’d need it to understand politics isn’t some arbitrary thought experiment. It has real consequences and those consequences are what’s happening to Palestine.

    Literally how many times did people say, “at least she’ll listen to protestors while he’ll make it illegal to protest.”

    “I’m speaking.”

      The dems tried to pass a shitty immigration bill and then the republicans torpedoed it to deny a Biden victory and then the dems campaigned on how irresponsible and inept republicans are at passing more draconian bullshit.

      Paid to lose shitheads I swear to God I wish I was making this up but I’m not and it is stupider than I made it sound

      Excuse you

      She said she was going to be worse

      Bonus

      “I went after transnational gangs, drug cartels and human traffickers that came into our country illegally. I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won,” Harris said. “Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been talking a big game about securing our border, but he does not walk the walk,” she said.

      Imagine being this much of a clueless loser lmao

      I still don’t get who she was trying to impress? Conservatives who called her a racial slur communist anyway?

    Liberalism is a political and moral dead-end, and liberals (at least the big L variety you find posting like this) are terrible people.

    now threatened with suppression and deportation

    so things are exactly the same as before, which is precisely why so many people didn’t show up to vote?

    “Helping Cost Kamala the Election”

    This is an inaccuracy. LEMF is for when you support the bad guy. The theoretical line is framing it as some kind of instant karma. The response is that we’d have to respond with some sort of hypothetical about how the Dems have been doing tricks on it since before October 7th. Instead you do the work of showing yourself as vindictive and complacent for me.

    libs on reddit love posting this narrative. “lol the dumb arabs thought trump would be better so now they’re gonna get deported for being muslim because trump is racist, unlike me” meanwhile nobody thought trump would be better, just that biden/harris couldn’t be worse than what’s already happening. for the year leading up to election day, all we heard was “progressives/leftists/young people will give the election to trump if they abstain from voting just because they don’t like harris” but why is anybody obligated to vote for someone who they actively don’t support the policies of, just because these other people do, and somehow that obligates the rest of us? they can’t comprehend that their candidate is no better than the other one on anything other than rhetoric. the democratic party knew what would happen but rather than changing their course and even paying lipservice to progressives and leftists and young people, they took cheyney endorsements, went further right, and literally plugged their ears to people’s protests. they gave trump the election, not people who didn’t vote or voted third party

      The DNC is faced with two fronts: a looming class war and a battle for state control within their own class. They decided the class war is more existentially threatening.

      Taking a hard stance against leftist ideology and following up with this kind of blaming propaganda is necessary for them to discipline the population in much the same way that employers utilize layoffs to ward off strikes and collective action in the workplace. It works well because when bad things happen like layoffs, people are upset and look for someone to blame. It’s difficult to counter this kind of propaganda.
