I’m not sure what you need explained here. Pretending it’s the Democrats and only the Democrats that caused Harris to lose is silly. Sure, they have culpability. So does every person who loudly and repeatedly said not to vote for “Genocide Joe” and then “Holocaust Harris.” So do people like me for not trying hard enough to keep Trump out of office.
There’s lots of blame to go around, but everyone is going “not me! Not me!”
That’s fine, it’s nice you’re taking responsibility, it shows initiative. All I’m saying, all I’ve ever said, was to stop defending the democrats in this, by persecuting people who voted, or didn’t vote, according to their conscience. The dems should be sharply criticized for their failures. Maybe there’s lots of blame to go around, but there is a higher concentration of blame where there is a higher concentration of power.
Blame actually isn’t worth much to me. But the brow beating, infantalizing, condescending attitude toward working Americans while gate keeping every scrap of power, apparently just to end up losing it to the right, is an absolutely inexcusable yet predictable consequence of deep political corruption. Until you personally start organizing against it, then any blame you try to deflect away from the party by taking it on yourself will be a reflection of your ego, not your willingness to put it on the line and fight for change.
And you don’t even have to be a commie like me, you can be a pragmatist/reformist and I’ll give you shit but at least I’ll respect the struggle. Probably doesn’t mean much to you but it beats defending corruption.
I never defended Democrats. Nor do I think Democrats are even relevant anymore. My whole point in this thread is a bunch of people are arguing over Democrats and Republicans and not giving a shit about Palestinians, just using them as pawns to argue about American politics.
Okay thanks for clarifying I’m in a couple threads having similar arguments and got my wires crossed.
My comment was really directed at many of the other commenters who are defending dems and pointing the blame.
I’m glad you’re working through the problems and it shows a commitment to truth that is lost in most political discourse so thanks for bringing something nicely and distinctly human to the discourse.
If the point you are trying to make is that our spectacular political theatre of divisiveness and trump is actually moving the discourse away from where it should be grounded, that is the fight for the liberation of Palestinians from genocide and decades of oppression, from the actual suffering and struggles, then we agree. Not sure how I would have gotten that from your first comment, but I’m happy to accept that’s what you meant, or whatever your actual intent happened to be.
