    Smug is such a perfect word for all the morons that decided not to vote, because Harris wasn’t able to fix a 8 decade long problem from the vice president’s desk.

    Smug and stupid, because a lot of the Palestine crap posted was done by bots and saboteurs to fracture the left, and oh boy did it work.

    Have you noticed how no-one is screeching about Palestine since the election?..

      I guess you don’t listen to Democracy Now. They’ve been reporting on Palestine every day since the election. The Ralph Nader Radio Hour has been talking about it since the election, too.

      morons that decided not to vote

      The only people I see on this board are people who held their noses and voted while complaining nobody else voted but them.

      The non-voters aren’t on social media telling you they aren’t going to vote. They’re simply checking out entirely.

      The only people who hear you are the ones that did vote for the shitty compromise candidate and are now getting abuse from you because they didn’t vote hard enough.

      No, people against genocide are not bots, and liberals have not ever been the left. You people love genocide until it might affect you, you’re not the left.

      And just because you were banned from spaces because you were pro genocide, doesn’t mean anyone has stopped talking about Palestine.

      Yep. It was pretty wild that some people actually fell for the Palestine argument. That was only really an issue for a very small minority of the left. Most average Americans couldn’t find it on a map, much less a reason to give a shit about it.

      Ultimately, it wasn’t even necessary to try and fracture the left with the Palestine argument. It was already fractured enough that she never stood a chance.

      Even in a fairly normal race, it’s silly to think voters would care more about people half a world away, rather than the issues they’re dealing with themselves like the high cost of living, housing shortages, etc.
