    Not half of everyone voted. I think we’d be better off if they did, but I can’t blame them too much for sitting out when the other side still supports a genocide.

      when the other side still supports a genocide.

      Oh fuck off.

      Regardless what Biden did or didn’t do to help Israel, Trump has long shown that he is happy to go much further in his sucking up to his buddy Bibi.

      The 2 are vastly different in the level of harms they’ll allow to happen to the Palestinians.

      Failing to vote for the “lesser evil” is allowing the much greater evil to do whatever he wants.

        You don’t need to convince me that Trump is much worse.

            Voter turnout was low in 2024 compared to 2020. I made a conjecture as to why that’d be the case when the stakes were so damn high. But fuck me for trying to point that out.

              I think a lot of folks are still out there downvotin’ as if the election were still up for grabs. It’s true that both sides supported genocide. The democrats utterly failed to even pretend to be willing to do the right thing, and we’ll all suffer for it.
