Most of far leftists you see here with their accusations of “dOiNg a gEnOciDe” were absent from any discussions about Palestine prior to October

This is one of the funnier things I've seen a Democrat make up to smear anyone to their left.

The whole meme is bullshit. Libdems screamed at leftists to shut up throughout 2016. First it was to forget about Bernie and vote for the historically unpopular warmonger whose “turn” it was. After she lost to a nearly equally unpopular opponent, they screamed that it was time to resist, not actually consider the mistakes they made.

Just like there is no actually acceptable method to protest under neoliberalism, there is no actually acceptable time to push for third parties and alternate voting systems.

If Hillary made it in 2016 we’d have a much better supreme court and Roe v Wade would still be a thing but you sure showed all the libdems.

Hillary Clinton would have almost certainly won if her entire platform wasn't based around the idea that she didn't have to do anything good because, hey, what do you want to do, vote for Trump?

Blame her, because she is the one who fucked it up.

If you mean she didn't have anything left*, she saw what happened to Obama. Obama passed the ACA and his thanks was to lose the house of reps for years 3-8. And the Senate for years 7-8. Aka the left never showed up, even after left policy was enacted.

*Except that she fucking declared war on climate change, that big existential issue that the left says they care about and will totally show up for, right?

And this is one of the funnier rebuttals to being called out if only because there’s no denial of it.

Leftists are some of the only people who paid attention or cared about Palestine before last year.

Yeah… they’re not though.

Tell me more of the leftist people you know so intimately. What else do they believe?
