Dems have been supporting the genocide since before I was born.
Yep.
They were still, in reality, the only chance of ending it in any way that does not involve the end of the Palestinian people
Fucking gross. You can’t acknowledge that the genocide has been happening ‘for decades’ and still believe they were the only option to end it without the end of Palestinians - the only way this would be true is if by what you mean as ‘end’ you mean ‘complete, but slower’. Up until now the genocide might have been ‘gentler’, but it wasn’t by any measure slowing down.
It seems that we actually agree on a lot though you seem to be operating under the assumption that I only became aware of this bullshit when my privilege stopped being as significant as it once was.
No, I’m saying your anger is justified, but you simply aren’t granting that same righteous anger to people who have long since given up on the democrats and democracy. Yes, trump is fascist, yes, democrats were better. But popular discontent has been building since long before this election, and it was the Democrats who chose to not to pull those people back in and instead pushed them away.
I don’t care about your leftist credentials. I want people to acknowledge that the problems with this election were so much bigger than the individual voter’s shirking of responsibility. Placing the blame on voters isn’t just selfish, it also deflects blame from democrats who have been fomenting the popular discontent for decades. If a fascist wasn’t voted in this election, it would have been the next, or the next. Fascism is a systemic issue, and unless you’re willing to deal with it systemically then the only possible outcome is violence.
I hope the party in-totallity has more maturity than you do.
Yep.
