We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

Good thing, Democratic youth stayed home and didn't vote for "Genocide Joe", and the majority of you here on Lemmy said at the time, "yes, understandable, good show, damn israel, do not vote for anyone you carrent not to my good people of the university commons, spread the world far and wide on national television, every fucking night, all spring and all summer and all fall in an election year, disrupt democratic candidates on the election trail, do it all, i bless you and keep you dears to my very own heart, you rapscallions"

Well, no one voted for"Genocide Joe" because Biden was not in the election. I'm sure there were a number of people, though, who abstained from voting for Harris because she also did not represent their wishes for the situation in Palestine, though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.

I don't understand the quote or run-on sentence of yours. People should indeed try and campaign for candidates they believe align with their ideals of governance.

There were a lot of those, and many of them are still defending that choice in the face of everything happening.

Good thing the Democrats decided that appeasing a foreign government was more important than representing their own citizenry and winning the election. Their part in this whole thing was entirely their own choice.

Especially those people who claimed "it's the most important election in our lifetime." They should be outraged that Biden and then Harris, knowing what was at stake, chosen to ignore their base and the American people in favor of some wholly corrupt foreign government. This was low hanging fruit that they left to rot.
