Get used to that feeling.
The disgust. Because once you catch its scent it is omnipresent.
The incompetence. The backbiting. The corruption. The utter indifference “The Party” holds toward those who would otherwise be the core of their base.
It’s not that I couldn’t smell the rot before, it’s that they had offered some sort of off ramp to the fucking insanity happening right now. For them to blow it now, they are officially a sunk cost. Watching people invest any effort their way for the next four years will be exhausting while each one of us need those same people to put their efforts elsewhere.
I was perma-banned from politicalmemes.world for ‘Misinformation’ by saying you had to excuse genocide if you’re going to vote for Harris or trump…
Well here we are. Harris lost. This is the end game. Are you out of steam? I’d often hear the anti-genocide crowd only did it because they said they had leverage because it was an election year. So, I guess there wasn’t leverage. What now? How do you stop the genocide in Palestine now. What’s the plan?
I’ve been pretty politically active for the past 20 years, and it’s rough right now. Remain vocal and remember organizing locally is the most impactful. Complaining on lemmy (which I do when doom scrolling) doesn’t amount to more than yelling into the void. Boycotts, protests, volunteering, and a direct action approach to the issues you feel strongly about are where your time and energy will serve the most purpose. It’s great to see positive change on a national scale, but it’s far too depressing if that where you keep all of your focus. Internet communities are not as important the real ones we live in.
As far as the genocide in Gaza, the average person can’t do much more than boycotts, protesting and calling/emailing your representatives. It’s deflating when both presidential candidates commit to supplying the weapons being used to continue the war crimes…but I will remain vocal and participate in local events. Food Not Bombs is one I regularly support.
Keep up the good fight
You can’t. Any plan will be immediate shut down by the Republicans in any way possible since they now control every aspect of every form of government (entire Senate, entire House, Supreme Court, entire swaths of the fucking Blue Wall states, etc.)
Oops, than, I guess? So, it was all about misery loves company?
Fuck it then. Gloves are off now. Let them full fucking genocide them. Fuck it, let them die. This election reveals that an alarming majority of the United States don’t give a fuck about genocide anyways. This shit disgusts me, and there’s nothing anyone can do about this situation anymore.
So, are you not morally superior anymore?
Who are you asking? I’ve always been in support of Israel, just never wanted them to fuck up Palestinians so badly. Nowadays I hope they fully finish the job and eliminate them all so I can stop hearing about them suffering in the news and we can all finally move on to the next issue.
So. You did care, but now that it doesn’t matter, you don’t care?
As you all down vote me and ban me just remember what you’re doing right now. After 2020 I came down hard on biden and was kicked from democrat spaces only to know now that I was 100 since day one. I’m not a fucking oracle. If you’re disagreeing with me right now your head is soo far up your own ass.
