    Leftists will seriously complain about House Democrats doing nothing to fight fascism and then do next to nothing themselves.

    Motherfucker we aren’t the ones holding power here, they are. We’re not allowed to criticize elected officials when they aren’t doing the jobs they were supposedly elected to do?

      Libs do literally nothing when they have power except use it to stop the left from actually having power, and then have the gall to complain that we aren’t helping them get power. They see nothing wrong with this. It’s so hypocritical and backwards that it doesn’t even upset me anymore.

        Hey, thats not fair. They didn’t do “literally nothing”.

        They helped build out the tools and systems that allow fascism to thrive. They took our taxes and gave it to their rich friends. They bombed the shit out of innocent people. They increased child-poverty. They screwed over unions.

        That takes a lot of hard work!

        It’s literally just the standard view of libs, and if they do anything different I am shocked. But I have never been shocked.

    It’s a minor point but the phrasing of this really gives the game away…

    Everything YOU’RE doing for Palestine would be a million times easier and more effective under Harris.

    Not what “I’m” doing. Not what “we’re” doing. Even in the scolding premise they’re admitting that they’re doing fuck all and don’t care. It’s an explicit admission that they wouldn’t do anything under Harris either that detonates their “I told you so” before it even makes contact with the reader.

      Got into this on tiktok. Someone was like “we could have organized under Harris so much easier” and I was like I was organizing under Biden, did you? And they were like no. I don’t want to hear about these excuses that “we” would have had an easier time under a liberal. So many more people have come out the past 8 months than the past 5 years. I know they won’t stay but at least some liberals are starting to taste the fear.

    Yeah, I’m sure expressing a desire for “the most lethal military in the world” while being the very supplier of the bombs dropped on them is very popular in Palestine.

    The site they linked to doesn’t even pretend to not be a NATO op btw

    Gotta love it when the “The Middle Eastʼs leading independent news source since 2012” only targets Western neolibs

    If actual Palestinians knew this, you have know excuse

    Smug condescending tone + racism + implying that white westerners know better about a minority’s own lived experience than themselves by default

    Classic liberalism.

    These people unironically live in a world where if they chant hard enough a superhero will show up and save them. That’s the only step they can do either vote or gather in a group and yell.

      Lol BLM was run by black people (black libs, but still, black people) and I’m pretty sure the Uncommitted Movement was started by Palestinian Americans.

      Of course you don’t count unless you agree with them. Real “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” Biden moment. Or “you’re not a real jew unless you’re Zionist” type of rhetoric.

      I hate libs so much.

    I don’t think I was too off base believing that Trump would be less effective at cooperating with foreign leaders and less capable of gathering the billions of dollars of aid to Israel.

    That’s the only thing the Dems were capable of doing.

    All you’ll get is a tut tut here and there but full commitment to ethnically cleansing gaza. Why are libs still pretending with this goofy shit. You’ll be finding all this horror and they’ll still be saying israel has a right to defend itself

      Because they know it’ll never actually be tested in reality because they lost. Liberalism is a very idealistic philosophy, so they love their hypotheticals which will never intersect with reality.

        It’s one reason I would’ve loved if Harris had won. Like ya, the less accelerated fascism would also be nice, but also they would’ve had less places to hide.

          They’d just do what they did under Biden unfortunately, and blame Trump and the Republicans for all of the Democrat’s actions, if they even admit that the democrats are doing anything bad at all.

          Or the classic “Sure, our party is pro-genocide, but under Trump the genocide would be even worse!” The best part about living entirely in hypotheticals is it lets you always compare your position favourably to them.
