    When you dismiss people condemning the democrats, you essentially send the message that enabling genocide is okay.

    I see attacking the voters as a zionist dog whistle, to desensitize on the subject and low key make genocide something that can be overlooked for the “right” reasons.

    Insulting to be said I’m using it as a tool. Every thread about it, there’s multiple comments talking about the voters and using them as a scapegoat. I’m just responding to them. If I’m using it as a tool, so are you. And you are a lot more vocal about it then me.

      I am dismissing people continuing to talk about the election when it’s over as if it matters when people are fucking dying.

      But you don’t care because American politics.

        Seems like you’re dismissing only the people responding to the behavior negatively and not the ones actually doing the behavior. I find it convenient that you are constantly silent on the genocide in general. I only see you commenting when it comes to pointing the finger at scapegoats. It’s easy to notice with the amount you post (not an insult, just an observation, I don’t mind high engagement).

        It doesn’t seem like you are arguing in good faith, since you accuse me of something I’m clearly trying to curtail.

        Yes it’s annoying when every thread about the genocide has people screaming at the top of their lungs trying to blame voters.

        I have more to say on the subject but I was too harsh and got my comment removed so I will leave it at that.

          No, I’m dismissing anyone who doesn’t give enough of a shit about Palestinians to bother talking to them.

          How often have you done it?

            Feeling empathy for a population isn’t contigent on direct communication with them. Pure rhetoric. But to answer your question, I have a good friend who’s Palestinian. He’s been here for many years but it was still brutal to see how it affected him. So yes, I’ve talked to them.

            You are also dismissing only the people that don’t align with your beliefs. You are clearly only pushing one side, the one that makes light of the genocide and seeks to divert attention to anyone who isn’t Biden and by extent Israel, and it’s easy to assume why.

              Why are you lying? I have not once defended Biden. Not once.

              My whole fucking point is that U.S. politics are not what is important here. I literally already said that in this comment chain.

              Lying in order to argue with someone is pretty shitty behavior.

                I never said you defended him directly. I’m saying you only blame voters and only dismiss comments being critical of Biden. I’ve repeated this many times.

                You reinforce the idea that the voters are to blame because obviously, applauding Biden would show your pro genocide stance a bit too clearly.

                If you only criticize one group, you are still taking sides.

                I know how you argue bro, stop with the rhetoric. Are you really going to pretend you are impartial? I’ve seen you directly start commment chains more then once on the subject and it was always to blame voters.

                    “Both parties are the same”

                    “A vote for Harris is a vote for genocide”

                    This was your sarcastic comment in a thread talking about the article “Trumps calls to ‘clean out’ Gaza and move Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.”. You weren’t dismissing anyone but were actively participating in the behavior. This wasn’t in response to anyone, it was a parent comment. It was 3 days ago.

                    Nothing in the article mentioned voters, you decided to bring up the subject.

                    What a surprise, more projection from your part. I obviously dont expect you to walk back your statement calling me a liar and admit just how two faced you are. I know arguing isn’t about the truth for you but your ego.

                    Your rhetoric won’t work, don’t call me a liar.

        Did it matter 30 days ago to you? If so, why do you support the person wanting to continue it, and blame voters for not wanting either of the genociders?

          Of course it mattered to me 30 days ago. It mattered to me when this genocide started which is why I have been doing everything in my very limited powers to stop it. What have you done?
