    So, now those voters have genocide in Gaza and a new one in Ukraine, plus the people who are dying because they can’t get medical abortions.

    Great job.

      I’m sorry, if a politician sees the polls that say “Don’t back genocide” and still pledges to back genocide to pander to the mythical moderate conservative, why are people still obligated to vote for them? Because they’re the lesser of two evils? Clearly they don’t give a flying fuck what their constituents want.

      When they chided “who else are you going to vote for?” In 2016, they got a resoundingly clear answer: “Nobody.” But it’s supposed to be different now? The Democrats need to step off the stage and progressives need to step up, because it’s obvious they can’t win elections on being Republican Lite.

        because now you have a “blank check” for expanded genocide. congrats. that was a fucking masterful plan

        there were 2 choices… you don’t get a 3rd choice - you can argue it was a choice for the future, but this round anyone who didn’t vote is partly responsible for the additional lives that will be lost, the rights curtailed, and the erosion of your due process
