    Do you disagree, was voter turnout for Democrats not low? Or are you being sarcastic because you can’t address the content?

      I’m pretty sure I directly addressed it. I don’t even know why you would think I was implying turnout wasn’t low. Fucking weird.

        You didn’t directly address anything, you deflected legitimate criticism of the dnc to criticize voters.

          Since subtext isn’t your thing I’ll spell it out. If you sit out elections you’re a fucking idiot. If you didn’t vote for Kamala because she didn’t explicitly state she’d stop the genocide you effectively enabled someone that stated they would speed up the genocide. Again, a fucking moron. Sitting out an election does not remove you from the system.

          Good job sending the DNC a message. I’m sure all the harm coming from the Republicans controlling everything for a minimum of two years will be totally worth it, and the DNC will definitely move in the direction you want them to.

          I’m not even a Democrat or Liberal, but y’all need to live in the system we have and not the system you want.

          Fuck’s sake.

            The election was 2 months ago. Stop hinging everything on something that happens once every 2 years, because there’s nothing more to be done about it now. Kamala wasn’t going to do shit to stop the genocide, and voters showed that it was an extremely important issue that the democratic candidate failed to differentiate on.

            Now we have a Trump presidency, paved by the DNC, again. What are you going to do to fight back?

          Voters should be criticized, they made a stupid decision for stupid reasons. Every person has personal accountability and responsibility.

            Another reading of the election is that people were unwilling to crawl over the bodies of dead Palestinians to vote for a choice between maintaining the genocide or increasing it.

            I don’t particularly agree with that reasoning, but I understand it. Voters carry some blame, but it’s ridiculous to say that it’s mostly or even significantly the fault of voters. It’s primarily an issue with the electoral system and the political parties within it.

              Really? It’s worthy of ridicule to say voters are responsible for the results of their votes? Sophistry.
