President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.

“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

    ok, so what exactly would this category of people you define as having voted and done literally nothing nothing else be doing to not disappear right now?

    It seems to me, by definition of how you have delineated the category of people you want to criticize you should expect not to “see” them until the next time they vote…

      At least a few of them have been pretty outspoken here on Lemmy even after the election. Not so now though.

        I don’t understand how this distinction works though, I voted for Harris so I don’t fit into either category but wouldn’t you just remove people from the “protest vote gone quiet” if you saw them not being quiet about it?

        Like those just become “protestors” right?

        No, there are still some of them around still doing the “both parties are the same” schtick, claiming Harris would have done this too.

          Make no mistake, both parties are willing and complicit in the Palestinian Genocide, that does not make them equally evil, it means that splitting hairs about Harris or Biden being a litttle less genocidal and much more polite about it too… is an incredibly hollow argument that inveitably leads to a deadend of nihilistic cynicism.

          I think you might not be understanding how people are making this point in conversation with you.
