the electorate did not swing further right or switch sides to Trump out of refusal to vote for a black woman look at the popular vote compared to 2020. Trump has 3 million fewer votes than he did 4 years ago and Kamala is down 15 million. this isn't a case of everyone got more fascist 3 million people got less fascist. this is what happens when a party abandons their base and any semblance of principles or conviction.

[alephskoteinos]

Principles? The Democratic Party is an explicitly Zionist party. They have followed exactly the principles that this entails (supporting and enabling genocide). And they lost to another Zionist party represented by a fascist.

[alephskoteinos]

As of this morning (November 8th), votes are still being counted, Arizona and Nevada still haven't been called yet, but it looks like Trump is only about a million votes away from closing the gap between 2024 and 2020.

I expect that pretty soon the "he actually lost votes" argument will collapse. That's what happens when you don't wait for the full count before making a point.

[cayomuchacha]

democrats lots TEN MILLION VOTES in four years 😭 so how did joe’s moderatism turn out then babes?

Imagine looking at the US and decided that yes, that's what you want to turn your country into.

You Are In Fact Demanding Tyranny by telling people Protesting or Demanding Better will Cause Us To Be Hurt or to Lose.

We can hate Trump and be anti-genocide and I really think Dems gotta understand their Pro-Genocide talking points continue to be Republican talking points that benefit Republicans and the Rich.

Sincerely ask yourself why you don't hold the same standards for BLM as you do Anti-Genocide/Pro-Palestine protests.

Please ask yourself if the difference is solely because you're scared to demand anything from Dems, lest we lose through Actual Political Action instead of simply voting silently and hoping for the best or ignoring problems we cause without our permission?

Be Ignorant of corruption or bad legislation or mistakes, They Have To Be Perfect. Anything less and they'll lose. Because of course, Kamala Has To Be Perfect whilst Dump does not.

And because of Your Mentality, you have Boxed Her Into This Situation where she cannot possibly give a definitive answer. If she is public about a Ceasefire Dems Will Not Vote For Her. If she says she's pro-Israel it's the exact same.

All You Have To Do Is Be Anti-Genocide So She Can Give A Definitive Answer. God damn.

Why should people be silent about an Active Genocide we're funding? Why should you be allowed to Demand Free Healthcare and accountability for police but are not allowed to for Israel's Genocide?

Ask yourself why you want a Tyranny and yet are scared of Dump?

Don't get intellectually lazy here-

You Are In Fact Demanding Tyranny by telling people Protesting or Demanding Better will Cause Us To Be Hurt.

Quit being Republican about Genocide/Israel. Do you just defend party blindly no matter the fucking cost? Grow up! Or admit you're republican but vote dem for social reasons.

Get out of this wide umbrella of a party if you don't support our ability to Demand from Elected Officials. That is what Republicans Vote For. Not Dems.

Fuck off you pathetic, terrified, nazi enabling larpers who can't come to the most elementary school conclusion upon Mass Murder and Simple Civics.

Demand Better.

Genocide Bad No Matter Who.

Fuck you.

[First Image ID: A screenshot with a water filter over it of someone else's text post. The text post reads "I keep seeing this around, especially now around Yom HaShoah, and it's starting to piss me off, "Never again means never again for anyone." NO THE FUCK IT DOES NOT." /.End ID]

[Second Image ID: A screenshot of someone's reply made in the tags. It reads "There's actually a whole (academic) article about this. How in Israel the phrase is generally understood to mean 'never again the victims' whereas in diaspora it's understood to mean 'never again for anyone' and how the phrase was PROBABLY coined by anarchist communists who specifically meant like 'dismantle the systems (like nationalism) that led to this in the first place'. IDK if this person is Israeli but it's usually Israelis you see responding like this and it's because they straight up have no idea the rest of the world doesn't see it like that. Combined w the at this point pretty infamous disdain for Holocaust victims and survivors for being 'weak'. It doesn't mean 'in your honour we will never let this happen again to anyone else' it literally means we will never again be like YOU who failed to protect yourself. Edit ppl sharing these tags feel free to do so without attribution. I'm not really keen to engage with teh people who will be angry abotu this. /.End ID]

[pro-prin-prinny]

@jewishvitya if you do not want to get involved feel free to ignore this @ but I wanted to confirm with you that this is an interpretation held by Israelis. Personally I've only heard "never again" as a blanket statement for "never again letting genocide happen to anyone."

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

Yeah, that's true, in Israel "never again" means we'll never allow ourselves to be victims again. That's how I understood it for us growing up.

We're aware of the different interpretation worldwide. But we don't trust other nations to protect us from another genocide, so I saw it more as an expression of guilt than a promise I can rely on. There's a level of... scoffing at this other interpretation and seeing it as a bastardized version of the promise we made to ourselves. "You don't mean it, you don't actually care, you just want to feel better about yourselves."

And this might be something to keep in mind. We don't trust gentiles. So any demand from Israel to stop oppressing Palestinians is taken as... you felt bad for us as long as we were victims, you like us when you can tell romanticized holocaust stories about how all we did was be murdered, but once we can protect ourselves, you hate us again. "They're so antisemitic they can't stand seeing a Jew being strong, they want us to roll over and be murdered." So many Israelis aren't even trying for... good PR. Because they believe that the only way to look good to a world that hates us is to die.

When other countries stand against Israel, the response is that we always knew we were alone and universally hated. So that's another reason to be patriotic and defend the existence of this country. Because no one else will protect us. That's why you see Israelis doubling down rather than seeing how wrong we are.

The disdain towards holocaust victims doesn't show anymore when we talk about this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of the history of the meaning. Holocaust victims were seen as weak in early Zionism. To the point that survivors were mistreated.

If you see grains of truth in any of this, it's because these attitudes make use of very real antisemitism to lead us to these conclusions. Other countries are not doing enough to protect Jews and combat antisemitism. So it's easy to look at that and say "see? We can never trust them."

(Disclaimer in case this reaches someone who doesn't know me. I'm anti-Zionist, I'm explaining a mentality I don't agree with. I'm not making these arguments as if they're correct, I'm laying them out to show them.)

[changeling-of-night]

Yeah, while not Israeli, I was very much raised in a zionist mindset, which heavily involved the idea that someday we would NEED to run to Israel. And I was pretty heavily raised with all of these ideas, with a complete fear and suspicion to any gentiles to the point where I knew I wasn't supposed to trust a single gentile opinion on anything Jewish, because they were obviously just using it to control us into assimilation, or drive us out, survival optional.

I only recognized how dangerous that was from other Jews, and even then only because I was constantly uncomfortable with listening to the concept of a "self hating Jew" as the only explanation for why they disagree with Zionism. I need a reason, even when my entire being disagrees with someone, I need to understand why.

Without that mentality, the real oppression in the background of zionist thinking, makes it so easy to just spiral out into monstrosity. People really do hate us, and really do condemn legitimate self defense. So if there isn't the self awareness that fascism isn't a unique ideology of "bad people", that anyone can be prone to being swayed by fascist thinking even if they've been victims of it, the legitimate terror and still-present discrimination makes a fantastic barrier to lock yourself in an echo chamber where you dismiss those who say you're hurting them as not one of you, and thus lying.

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

This last paragraph is great, thank you for that.

[bringmemyrocks]

Important (no alt text bc phone, feel free to add) removed the posters name but they're welcome to respond ofc.

So many Zionists think the only other option to what they're doing now is death. In 1967, a war which Israel won and knew it would win, Israelis were preparing large fields for Israeli burials bc they thought they would be killed en masse. Sorry for linking TOI here but this quote os relevant and it's hard to find for free online from a better source. Quote partway down the page "During the Six-Day War, Israelis prepared for their demise, following the ways of our perpetrators from World War II, digging mass graves just in case of catastrophe as well as producing atomic weapons."

In reality, Israel was not at risk and Israel in fact used this war as a reason to expand further settlements and commit the Naksa, the expulsion of a further 300,000 Palestinians. Egypt had no means of destroying Israel in 1967 just as Palestine has no means of doing that now. But that's not what Zionists teach their children. They hear Israel was almost destroyed in 1967, and that Israel did what was necessary to "defend itself."

If you're brought up in constant fear of annihilation (no matter how unfounded), both of yourself and your community (worldwide Jewry etc.) It's easy to fall into fascism. And if you're taught that anyone who disagrees with you wants you dead (whether they're part of your in-group or not), you won't be reasoned with.

Joe biden nonstop pledging IRONCLAD support for a GENOCIDER ROGUE STATE 😭 is driving me up the wall it fills me with SUCH disappointment, frustration, rage and indignation towards the democrats. Every time i hear joe biden declare the US’ ironclad support (i think he just did it YESTERDAY?!?!) in this fully unacceptable manner, I feel so strongly the desire to never vote for democrats again or participate with them. Because how tf can he even say that he is suchhh a sick fuck. We cannot just let him say he’ll give unwaivering ironclad support to an evil genociding rogue and pariah terrorist regime like israel—WE MUST SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS!!! But i KNOW i want to vote dem bc obviously i have a brain and can see the evils of republicans but do WE have brains when we tune out the evil shit dems are doing!!!!!!! but their leadership support for the unacceptable is really. Making this difficult. i am really having trouble feeling like i can actually support and believe in my supposed representative leaders :/ why are democrats so pro-israel and utterly disgusting? is it because this constitutional republic is founded on genocide and displacement? 😭 but what about the american idealsss We CANNOT accept joe biden saying he’ll give ironclad support to those fucks and i’m scared Harris is going to make the same unforgivable mistakes!! I need her to not so i can vote for her but Its literally in dem hands :/ how can i think about this more positively? US pseudo-democracy is giving me indigestion to say the least. its nauseating. Fuck america forreal

united states Dont Be Evil Challenge: failed

[determinate-negation]

so many americans being psychologically unwilling to grasp that the us political system is supporting this genocide because they WANT to because AMERICA IS AN EVIL COUNTRY and not because theyre scared of israel or because of a 'zionist takeover'... really feel like theres very little hope for the organized left in the us lol

[determinate-negation]

notice how the actual palestinian resistance and u.s. based palestine solidarity groups have consistently correctly identified americas imperial interests and willing participation in genocide and colonialism, while shit for brains americans find nothing else substantive to cling onto besides aggrieved nationalism. gullible easily manipulated people.

[hyperions-fate]

The sight of Kamala Harris praising Dick Cheney and welcoming his endorsement is unsurprising but wretched all the same. Extraordinary rendition, systematic torture, and the annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis - these are just trivialities for respectable American liberals, who invoke Trump's malevolence and uncouthness only to excuse their own love for empire.

Hey just a headsup spacelazarwolf is acusing you of antisemitism and racism against Israeli hostages

Whoever this person is, they've blocked me and so I cannot interact with this. Anyway, they're a clown and a Zionist poisoning the well with disinformation. Race don't enter into my position. If the hostages had been Chinese or American or Portuguese or South African I'd have said the same, because colonialism is colonialism and colonizers cannot complain when the colonized seek to liberate themselves from under their heel, regardless of race.

However, race enters into spacelazarwolf's position, because they're a defending colonialists simply because said colonialists happen to be Jewish Zionists, a (predominantly white) Jewish suprematist movement notorious for persecuting other Jews who don't agree with their ethnonationalist ideology.

So yeah. I'm not interested in debatimg these clowns. Report and block them any chance you get.

[pilot-of-eva-00]

It’s been said before on tumblr but the whole “white queer ex Christian to Jewish convert who simps for Zionism” needs to be talked about more. Tumblr leftists enabled this to happen by acting philosemitic and treating Judaism as the progressive opposite of Christianity rather than the complex religion and culture it actually is. Taking a page from their book when they call ex Christians who don’t agree “culturally Christian”, just because you have trauma from Christianity doesn’t excuse acting like a chauvinist and supporting genocide. I’ve seen how ex Christians who don’t agree with them, as well as queer/trans people of color especially Palestinians are treated by them. I had a phase where I considered doing this, but then realized how that isn’t what I need and talking to real Palestinian/arab kids made me disgusted with even liberal Zionism. The fact that these people claim to be leftist and understand that trans rights aren’t something you can “agree to disagree” over yet see Palestinians and their lives as something to debate over shows the cognitive dissonance they have. @hussyknee, @lesbianchemicalplant

if democrats actually hated that racist conservative nancy pelosi we’d be able to beat trump in a landslide. but they don’t care about corruption among dems :/ and we all suffer for it

Nancy pelosi is a conservative dino one of the scums of the earth

we as democrats must DEMAND that Kamala Harris MUST denounce Dick Chaney

we don’t need his vile endorsement or association!

[dicapiito]

We as Democrats know we need all the votes we can get to stop Trump’s project 2025.

Actual Democrats understand why his endorsement is important since Republicans vote.

Unlike the dipshit leftists who don’t vote/vote third party to help out Trump.

[corvoidea]

OP is genuinely so stupid it should be a crime. No way their vote counts the same as mine, smfh.

We are not with Dick Cheney - he is with us. We were right first.

This is not difficult to understand.

His endorsement is not to be mistaken as an endorsement of Kamala’s policy positions or anything to do with the Democratic Party.

It is him being a former national security war hawk who knows a compromised candidate when he sees one. It is him signaling to other longtime Republicans that things are extremely serious and this is no longer about politics but about the future of the country.

Dick Cheney is obviously one of the most evil people to ever walk this Earth. Being evil does not mean he's stupid. But clearly you are.
