Drops his own gun next to the hand of the guy he’s arresting, then hastily picks it up to point it at the people recording him. Incredible.

They are, and if I was in a position where my vote could actually influence things I would probably vote for democrats over that, but that’s not the country I live in either.

I would prefer they both lose, tbh.

Also Democrats have had their share of military interventions, and countries they destroyed. Their whole issue with Iraq at the time wasn’t that the invasion was wrong, but that they would run it better. The genocidal warmongering is established bipartisan consensus.

We can’t ever know if dems would’ve been much better because we lost that chance,

The democrats ran on a year+ of genocide, I have no confidence that they would suddenly have a change of heart afterwards.

The democrats in my state do in fact pass some protections, but do basically nothing about the fundamental economic and housing inequalities that make it almost impossible for red state trans people to safely relocate there. If you’re someone who can hustle enough to afford to live here it’s relatively safe, but despite all that we still have plenty of right wing democrats triangulating over things like womens sports.

I’m not sure I buy the apathy contagion theory, I have a hard time believing anyone is actually swayed by me.

frankly the comment about not caring about getting sent to the camps was mostly being edgy to the guy doing the vote scolding like it even makes a difference now. maybe the Democrats would have been less bad overall, but after their past actions I have no reason to expect that Palestinians would be any better off under them.

my vote is a no-confidence vote in this shitty system and if supporting trans people becomes no longer politically expedient I fully expect that Democrats would cut us loose too.

hi, I ended up here in the US as a result of a right wing coup in my home country. I have had many relatives with first hand experience of war, civil war, famine. it’s not something I take lightly which is why I am so appalled at the Democrats treating Palestinians like they’re expendible.

We don’t have a popular vote, due to how the system is arranged my vote hasn’t once mattered in decades of electoral participation. You’re kidding yourself about the influence of the fediverse if you think my comments had any impact.

I’m apathetic about voting, I’m actually extremely active organizing in my community against this shit. I find the people scolding about votes while doing fuck-all otherwise to be the ones making it worse.

this is not a war, it’s been America helping the colonial occupation empty its largest concentration camp

they could have just stopped sending unlimited bombs to that genocidal occupation, but they chose to anyways in spite of all evidence that it was going to cost them the election.

I’m none of those descriptors, I just didnt vote for the genocidal shitheads

it would be nice if they actually decide to have primaries next time, I’m not holding out hope that elections are going to save us

Even in a garunteed blue state, action I spires action. Discourse even to just a handful, has an echoing effect to someone who can male a difference.

It was the democrats participating in a genocide for over a year in advance of the election that had the ‘echoing effect’ of making people not want to vote for their disgusting asses. Just being realistic, a trans anarchist in a blue state not voting for bomber harris has literally zero impact on how anyone else voted.

But you lot lack any strategic vision or foresight.

You’re the one acting like scolding people over votes while the gestapo is roaming the streets is accomplishing anything

It was never about being allies with the liberals.

They’re not credible opposition.

I’m trans and I didn’t vote for Kamala. Blue state, not like it even mattered. I have zero regrets about it on my part either. Since then all the liberals seem to be busy meeting the moment with capitulation and self-censorship, it’s clear they were never allies. I don’t care if I end up in a concentration camp, fuck this rancid ass country.

Maybe if the seals spent less time trafficking and doing drugs they would fuck up less

time to check in on the straights, how bad could it be
