Sadly, I keep trying to explain this to tankies, but they insisted NOT voting for Kamala because she wasn't going to use the Dragon Balls to bring back every Palestinian killed by Israel was a power move...
Anyway, that's how Donald Trump got re-elected
You're right. We liberals saw that Kamala and Biden did only the bare minimum genocide necessary. It's better than the extreme amounts of genocide trump is doing. Tankies often miss this point.

The point isn't that there's a magical "Correct Amount" of genocide that is acceptable.
The point is that there is no magical solution that saves Palestine, there was however an option that made an already horrible scenario even worse, and that's the option we took in large part thanks to people who thought not voting would be good for anyone's health.
Kamala may not have cared about the lives she was helping snuff out under Biden's watchful eye, but at least she wasn't outright planning to build a fucking resort atop the mass graves. (Trump Gaza ring any bells to you?)
By the way, I'm a transwoman, I'm seeing ciswomen get awarded for "Standing up" against my kind, as my existence is being publically reframed as an affront to women's rights in what I can only imagine is the greatest dream TERF-kind ever had.
This wouldn't be happening under Kamala.
There are already states planning to illegalize "Gender Identity Fraud" in attempt to CRIMINALIZE MY VERY EXISTENCE
First of all, the democrats were in charge when most of the genociding was happening. They let it get this bad in the first place, don't play it off like it was just some pre existing scenario that was handed to us.
Secondly, by the sounds of it, you accepted that what was happening to the gazans. In order for the democrats to have a chance to win, it was necessary. So tell me why you have a problem with my wording?
Edit: and now if we're looking for someone to blame.. We obviously didn't do anything wrong so it's clearly the anti genocide voters. I don't know why you have such a problem with me, I'm just agreeing with y'all!!
Because your wording is not only in bad faith, but you're twisting what we're saying to suit your own agenda
"We liberals".
Yeah right. Troll harder.
Nothing says "I'm not part of this group" quite like "We [group]s"
I don't know what you want from me, if the genocide was unnecessary then why did the dems allow it to happen? Like clearly it is necessary for our democracy?
