    Except…

    The same thing would have happened with Harris… Harris fully supported Israel’s genocide.

    The Protest Vote Paradox™

    As we’ve all read time after time in the months leading up to the election, the Protest Vote™ simply states states that:

    “We refuse to vote against a Tyrant-Felon in order to send a clear and concise message that we will not stand for [roll D20 for random popular single issue], and alongside our refusal to vote against the Tyrant-Felon, is a collective hope that the aforementioned clear and concise message- if ignored, is received under unmitigated duress!”

    -Cut to Tyrant-Felon’s win, and the aftermath:

    Wether observed or not, the behavior of the Protest Voter will attempt to achieve the following:
    • Obnoxiously tell everyone “We told you all what would happen!”
    • Claim there is “No way protest voting could cause trump to win.”

    As both of these options cannot simultaneously be true in the same reality without breaking important time-space things that we would probably prefer not be broken- we are left with only a few logical conclusions:

    1. Protest voters have no idea what they’re talking about.
    2. Protest voters don’t understand the concept of hypocrisy.
    3. Protest voters have somehow learned to defy reality and become exempt from the concept of paradoxes, thus creating an entirely new study of theoretical science, known as Bulletproof Symbiotic Hypocrisy Theory, or BLsHt.

    Something, something, something Ted Talk.

    If we don’t give the nation of Israel full control of the region, then we can’t fulfill the prophecy to bring end times!

    Reminder that the West Bank is the one that’s not even ruled by Hamas and hasn’t attacked Israel. If Israel tried to do this under Harris, no doubt weapons would’ve been cut off and the US might have even favored sanctions.

    Finally I can stop wondering how the protest voters handle aiding and completing a genocide while claiming to have any sense of morality at all.

    They ignore it because they never cared, that’s IT! NOTHING ELSE. ITS ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSES FAULT BECAUSE OF THEIR NARCISSISM.

    FAFO! Big time. Bunch of idiots. They do not understand that Israel has the USA by the balls and this has been going on since the USS Liberty.

    You think they actually gave a shit.

    Palestine was just the latest version of “The Issue”

    Someone they can make their entire personality to make themselves look good.

    Maybe the political party should have conformed to the pressure of the people who vote in its party. Just saying.

    Yeah. You’re right honestly, it was too much to ask the Democrats to stop funding and arming a genocide. It’s not their fault at all, no sir no way. It’s the fault of the Palestinian Americans who refused to vote for people committing genocide against their communities.

    Youre so smart. So principled. You know exactly who’s fault this situation is. It’s those damn Palestinians not wanting to vote for people arming genocide against them. How dare they.

    The democrats had no choice. They HAD to keep committing genocide against Palestine. Poor Joe, he felt so bad for the Palestinians whenever he signed off on the next missile shipment to Israel. :( He even shed a little tear each time. The poor boy he just had no choice he had to keep arming genocide. He really felt so awful about it the whole time 😔 he’d sometimes even forget that it was happening at all and then remember and feel bad all over again.

    It’s so normal that you blame the Palestinian Americans who wouldn’t vote for people arming the genocide of their people. Yup. There’s NOTHING the Democrats could’ve done differently. You should just keep on defending them forever. You know what, you should do one even better and support them as they continue to slide to the right. Instead of fighting for the party to change, you should continue to blindly support them even as they support the indiscriminate slaughter of starving Gazan children.

    I should hope the /s isn’t needed here. I’m so fucking tired.

    Coworker: “I hate trump, he should never be president!” Me: “So you’re voting Harris?” Coworker: “I don’t know if we’re ready for a WoMaN president”

    Asking for a friend, where is the nearest cliff? He would like to go jump off of it.
