Democrats for selling their souls to AIPAC and ignoring their constituents
Protest voters for not seeing Trump as enough of a threat
The two party system for allowing this to happen in the first place
Billionaires for funding a literal Nazi
The Israeli government for waves hands
As someone who had to leave behind everything and flee the US for safety (2025 was lining up to be a damn good year dammit), I am furious at all of the above
That’s mostly fair, but “protest voters” still didn’t throw the election. If you added all third party votes to Democrats instead, you’d still have a trump presidency. This is after Harris ran a very right-wing campaign. They bet hard on Zionism, “border security” and military strength and they lost, partly because Trump can do all those things “better”(worse).
Feel free to do the math yourself then. But I don’t mind absolving them. They didn’t vote for Trump, and they exist in a terrible two party system that makes them choose between fascists. They literally did not cause this. So shut the fuck up. I don’t want to hear criticism of third party voters from anyone who hasn’t given 10x that criticism of everyone else on your list.
Firstly, you assume I don’t criticize others when my original post straight up does. That is a very false assumption. Secondly, you are only absolving them because you are in a position of privilege to do so. Until you’ve also had to uproot your life, tell your loved ones goodbye, and flee your home because of an existential threat, you have absolutely ZERO right to police my voice on this. With all due respect, fuck off.
Multiple people are at fault

We might not have lost the House and Senate though, in addition to other smaller local races. Stop trying to absolve them.

I will not be responding further
