The president made the remarks alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He claimed earlier in the day that Gazans had "no alternative" but to leave their homes.
It was never about your vote. It was about the impact of a one-sided message on the votes of others.
Criticism of Biden’s handling of Gaza was completely fair. That topic had no place in discussing the election unless fairly compared to the alternative we see here.
Trump won with 1% of the vote.
35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.
Protest voters are absolutely to blame for this.
I really thought everyone would have learned about the electoral college by now, but the important thing is making sure people understand our system moving forward.
Every single nonvoter in Cali could have held their nose and voted D, it wouldn’t have changed the result at all
If you actually want to look at the numbers of who stayed home in 2024 after voting in 2020 then those demographics were the older white men/women and hispanic men. Probably because both those groups have a harder time stomaching a woman with the exact same policies
The people protesting the Zionists’ war were college students and under 30s, who voted the exact same they always do.
This election was an existential threat to democracy. Anyone who was able to vote and didn’t vote for Harris, the opposition candidate, is to blame. The Democrats who stayed home because of fucking Gaza even moreso. We Harris voters knew this shit would happen because we pay attention. Anyone who voted for trump to send a message needs to do the same. There was 0 chance a trump presidency would turn out well for the Palestinians in Gaza.
Just so ya know, @Breadsmasher mods a sub called the_Donald (which I assume is what you’re talking about) that is dedicated to documenting trumps crimes. NOT a pro-trump sub.
I highly recommend clicking through when you find something like that, often it’s a terrible sub but there’s also times when it’s not what you’d expect. As for the other sub, that’s called lemmyDrama, which is just about lemmy drama, like how r/subredditdrama on reddit is about drama. So I wouldn’t call that trolling. But that might just be my opinion on what trolling is.
That would make sense, if they didn’t seem to spend an inordinate amount of time accusing people of not voting because they talk about what the party could do better, and “joking” about genocide.
I took a look at their first page of post history and didn’t have to dig any deeper to block them.
I don’t think I’d have found anything constructive if I scrolled deeper.
I mean, do you honestly think anyone watched the last three elections and think the best path forward is attacking the left?
Even if they’re being genuine, it’s a terrible strategy to get Dems back in power.
So whether it’s intentional or not doesn’t really matter. They’re actively hurting the party with every comment they make.
“Both sides are bad, so I refuse to vote for either”
“Democrats need to earn my vote”
"Well, yeah, Trump is definitely bad. I don’t want Trump. But I demand a pony and a blowjob. If the Democrats want my vote, they’re going to have to do more than just stop Trump from killing all the ponies. "
You should be calling return2ozma and TokenBoomer too. The ‘I’m not voting for Trump’s opponent, but I’m gonna complain about the consequences’, crowd.
I’m sure the 100k people who use Lemmy swayed the millions of voters the Dems needed to defeat fascism… for another 4 years… until the next manufactured choice between “corporate whore lite” and “yet another fascist”.
@givesomefucks@lemmy.world did biden/harris advocate for palestinians to leave gaza
I hate how horribly accurate that meme is.
If it makes you feel any better, most of the people they’re accusing voted D just like they always do…

Protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election

35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.

Its not as simple as you’d like it to be.

Non-voters sure as shit did impact the election.
Cool less than half the voting age population votes in the US.
And it has always been like this
So whining about the people who never vote and will never vote isn’t helpful

Keep telling yourself that I’m sure it will make things turn out different next time.
Meanwhile I’ve been waiting for young people to actually vote since I was 18.
Waiting on poor people to vote in their own self interests.
Still waiting.
Meanwhile you’re being tricked by propaganda into hating poor and young people.
Did you want to show me an example of you treating an ongoing genocide as a joke like a trump supporter would?
Edit:
Nevermind, you literally mod a trump sub and a sub about trolling, no wonder you act like a trump supporter

exactly. fuck trump. he is destroying america. the little that remains

“Genocide can’t get worse”
“Both sides are bad, so I refuse to vote for either”
“Democrats need to earn my vote”
"Well, yeah, Trump is definitely bad. I don’t want Trump. But I demand a pony and a blowjob. If the Democrats want my vote, they’re going to have to do more than just stop Trump from killing all the ponies. "
both side are bought and paid for by the oligarchs
damn right a public leader needs to earn votes otherwise we get more Bidens and Trumps that think galas with celebs will do it
There are factions among the oligarchs. Or are you saying both sides are exactly the same?
Unfortunately teaching them that lesson means now we’ll have no more Palestine.
Unfortunately there will be no more Palestine and democrats will refuse to learn.
They got paid. Their one policy is still being implemented.

There are degrees of genocide, as you can see very plainly by just reading the news.

theres a lot of shills
Dude singlehandedly saved Gaza.
I’m sure the 100k people who use Lemmy swayed the millions of voters the Dems needed to defeat fascism… for another 4 years… until the next manufactured choice between “corporate whore lite” and “yet another fascist”.
Congrats on saving Gaza.
