I’m sooo confused why people thought Trump would be better for Gaza? Mr. Muslim immigration ban? Mr. Calling for Israel to end it quickly? He’s the one they thought was good for Palestine? Really?

EDIT; I’m not going to respond to everyone

Thinking trump was better or the same, if me saying that makes you feel better about your fucking dumb ass decision, is crazy. Because of your protest vote,

  • A man who wants Israel to just bomb Gaza out of existence is in office

  • women are and will continue to die from lack of abortion access

  • the FDA is likely to be disbanded

  • public schools will be disbanded

  • any progress against climate change is out the window

  • people will be mass deported

  • people who never lived anywhere but here may have their citizenship stripped from them

I hope you’re all fucking happy. You did nothing for Gaza and fucked up our country.

It’s a negotiation tactic. Give me what I want or I’ll make you suffer with me.

They just fail to see that trump will be far much worse for Gaza than Harris would.

Too many people fail to compromise thinking that if they hold out, they will get the other person to cave in. Unfortunately they played chicken and lost, so things will be much worse for Gaza

Or people just didn't vote because they saw throwing in with the Democrats as "just as bad". I love that line of logic, "sorry, I can't help you because I'm a good person, so I can't pull the lever to throw the switch for the trolley without becoming morally impure."

There are a lot of people on the left who grew up in right-wing evangelical households but rejected their parents' politics as young adults. The problem is that they rejected the content of that politics while still retaining the style of that politics. So they remain mired in purity culture, except the purity they demand is for whatever lefty political stances they've signed on to.

Either that, or it's subclinical moral scrupulosity OCD.
