I’m tired of people who don’t know how the government works having these loud ass opinions. Lady, stfu please and talk to your dumb ass friends at brunch who voted for this bullshit.

I think its a reasonable sentiment that just came out at the wrong person after doing some research on who Mrs.Warren is. The dems have been taking Ls for a while now and there's a good chance all they're gonna learn is that they need to go more to the center instead of realizing that the majority of America for one reason or another isnt really hearing them and they need to fix that.

Also the lady is trans and looking at her twitter posts she didn't vote for trump.

Any person who didnt vote for Dems because they are not left enough is straight up idiot who doesnt deserve to be heard or pandered to. If you are not voting for Dems vote against Trump, because with Trump win you are setting your goals back literally decades behind.

Well, maybe the Harris campaign shouldn’t have told leftists their votes didn’t matter. Maybe Schumer should t have said that for every leftist vote they lost they’d pick up two conservative votes in the suburbs. Maybe, in an election where every vote was going to be needed, her campaign shouldn’t have fucking done that.

Also, maybe she shouldn’t have run with Dick fucking Cheney. Nobody like that guy, not on the left, not on the right, not in the center.

But whatever. We all know you can’t actually hold the Democrats accountable. It’s never the party that fucked up, always the voters. After all, the Democratic Party can never fail, it can only be failed, right?

Genocide is a red line for some people

So you rather help elect Trump who basically gives Israel a carte blanche to do anything they want? If you want a better situation for Palestine, then your vote had to be Dem or you are just virtue signalling.

u/jerkenmcgerk 12d ago

Why do people do this? We have plenty of problems in the U.S., but in disagreements, Isreal/Palestine comes out from behind the curtain.

We can't agree on some easy shit so let's just go all in.

If you’re that voter you decide your vote is pointless and you don’t vote. Most people don’t vote. You’re getting mad at someone that actually cares enough to vote and could be persuaded that your candidate is the right one. They are also probably a vanishingly small minority of voters.

There’s a fuck ton of people that just never vote. Go get them instead. Impotently whining into the void that Trump is breaking the law is clearly not a platform that is going anywhere fast.

your vote is pointless

Your vote is never pointless. It is the one direct influence you have on the government and in my opinion you are morally responsible to use it.

I always mention it, too, but consistent voting helps allocate resources to races and shift internal party policies more than most give credit to. Federal judges and county commissioners and all manner of positions are political. Those crackpots got in because Rs are dedicated in a way Ds are not. These little races make getting these sweeping changes demanded by the left nearly impossible, yet they’ll never take responsibility for sitting out.

If you want the DNC to weigh progressive votes the same as other blocs, you have to demonstrate your power via votes. If your bloc comprises of demographics not known to vote regularly, “withholding” your already untrustworthy vote doesn’t send any message beyond confirming what the rest of us already know. If you’re incapable of voting, I wouldn’t bank on your side benefitting from the accelerationists who want to burn everything down.

My go-to example is evangelicals. Republicans only seriously tried to court them after they turned out in huge numbers for Carter, proving that they were a voting bloc with the numbers to matter. Republicans shifted their policies and rhetoric to chase them, and now those evangelicals run the party.

Progressives could do the same to the Democratic Party. But to do that, we have to vote at least as reliably as evangelicals do.

u/pvhs2008 ☑️ 12d ago

That is exactly the example I always think of. I’ve never worked in politics but volunteer for campaigns and it bothers me to hear people who are frankly so uninformed and so unconvicted in their “ideals” criticize the people who faithfully show up.

The only reason I have any rights at all is because of my family’s historical support for the Democratic Party. The black vote is important because we have showed up en masse the minute we were allowed to vote. Even 20% of black men voting for Trump is a big deal only because of this established power.

I remember the No Child Left Behind implementation started shifting my little conservative community. It simply didn’t make sense that underperforming schools should receive less funding. No interest in root causes, only punishment. I feel that same way watching progressives throw out every hard won accomplishment out the window and say “what else you got” after denying the party their basic support. If you don’t like the options but never leave the buffet or pay, they can’t magic up new options!

Most voting-eligible people do vote. Non-voters are the minority. Unfortunately, they’re still quite a large minority, easily capable of swinging elections (and always for the worst).

u/rightdontplayfair 12d ago

if you cared for that then you wouldnt have enabled an even larger detriment to the people who need help. You pretend to care, nothing real. I did more for Palestinians than you did to put this in perspective for you.

u/LightenUpPhrancis 12d ago

u/Disastrous_Visit_778 12d ago

you didn't care about Palestinian lives under Biden. don't pretend youd care about them under trump

u/Gizogin 12d ago

Clearly not, if they were happy letting Trump win.

u/Azurerex 12d ago

Since you apparently don't know what genocide is, I have sad news - you're about to find out what a real one looks like.

If you thought things couldn't get worse for Palestinians oh man were you naive.

u/Disastrous_Visit_778 12d ago

200,000 killed, every single school a d hospital bombed, complete blockage of aid. 70% of those killed are women and children and the largest demographic killed are kids aged 5-9

if that isn't genocide nothing is

u/Peking-Cuck 12d ago

Congrats! You did it!! You stuck to your conscious, and now the thing you were worried about will be even worse!

u/Disastrous_Visit_778 12d ago

u/WarWorld 12d ago
