    I guess all the “Genocide Joe” commenters aren’t getting paid to skew the election anymore, so they won’t be here to comment.

      There are a few stragglers around still. And just as sanctimonious with their tiresome and reckless high-flying rhetoric about how principled they are…

      sigh.

      I only started using the term after the election, I wish I was paid. It’s crazy how I’m expected to shut up about it for the next 4 years. Apparently, asking the dems to change their stance on genocide of everything is too much and everyone would rather stick their head in the sand. The moment someone enables it just a bit more then them, they get none of the blame and we get to wait through 4 years of shit just for them to give us literally the same stance.

      Both parties enable it and are complicit. Defending either on the subject is clear bootlicking imo.

        No one is defending either on the subject. We are simply stating that one is WORSE than the other by an order of magnitude. Honestly, how can you not see that?

          His comment implies anyone speaking disfavorably about the dems stance on genocide is somehow a paid shill.

          Read the rest of the comments. It’s always the same thing. The dems lost because the voters got manipulated into thinking genocide was something to draw a line over. Well it fucking was. I still think not voting and voting for Trump of all people is massively stupid but I hate the message we are sending.

          Trump isn’t worse, he’s the same on it. We shouldn’t be calling them anything other then Genocide Joe and Genocide Trump. Biden did a lot of good but his whole legacy is not breaking with genocide.

          We have 4 years to exert pressure and make sure the next candidate isn’t a mossad and wallstreet plant. Instead we are infighting like peasants and trying are hardest to not hold the politicians who are suppose to represent us accountable.

            We’re easy to dismiss that way. Then they don’t have to think about how monstrous they have been to support genocide all this time.

        There are a disturbing number of people in this thread who feel that condemning Democrats is more important than worrying about what is about to happen to Palestinians.

        As if you folks were using genocide as a tool. And it’s pretty hard to read.

          When you dismiss people condemning the democrats, you essentially send the message that enabling genocide is okay.

          I see attacking the voters as a zionist dog whistle, to desensitize on the subject and low key make genocide something that can be overlooked for the “right” reasons.

          Insulting to be said I’m using it as a tool. Every thread about it, there’s multiple comments talking about the voters and using them as a scapegoat. I’m just responding to them. If I’m using it as a tool, so are you. And you are a lot more vocal about it then me.

            I am dismissing people continuing to talk about the election when it’s over as if it matters when people are fucking dying.

            But you don’t care because American politics.

              Seems like you’re dismissing only the people responding to the behavior negatively and not the ones actually doing the behavior. I find it convenient that you are constantly silent on the genocide in general. I only see you commenting when it comes to pointing the finger at scapegoats. It’s easy to notice with the amount you post (not an insult, just an observation, I don’t mind high engagement).

              It doesn’t seem like you are arguing in good faith, since you accuse me of something I’m clearly trying to curtail.

              Yes it’s annoying when every thread about the genocide has people screaming at the top of their lungs trying to blame voters.

              I have more to say on the subject but I was too harsh and got my comment removed so I will leave it at that.

                No, I’m dismissing anyone who doesn’t give enough of a shit about Palestinians to bother talking to them.

                How often have you done it?

                  Feeling empathy for a population isn’t contigent on direct communication with them. Pure rhetoric. But to answer your question, I have a good friend who’s Palestinian. He’s been here for many years but it was still brutal to see how it affected him. So yes, I’ve talked to them.

                  You are also dismissing only the people that don’t align with your beliefs. You are clearly only pushing one side, the one that makes light of the genocide and seeks to divert attention to anyone who isn’t Biden and by extent Israel, and it’s easy to assume why.

                    Why are you lying? I have not once defended Biden. Not once.

                    My whole fucking point is that U.S. politics are not what is important here. I literally already said that in this comment chain.

                    Lying in order to argue with someone is pretty shitty behavior.

      I’m here. Biden is a genocidal monster, and nothing Trump can do will change that fact.

            The fact that you place the entire weight of 80 years of US Israeli policy on its most reluctant participant demonstrates your agenda. If Trump was in office on Oct. 7, there would be no palestinian territories anymore. They’d be under the Israeli flag and stained with the blood of American soldiers.
