since we’re talking about ossoff as a candidate for president, reminder that in 2024, he voted with republicans to block biden from appointing a judge because the judge had allowed a trans woman—who was regularly assaulted by prison guards and incarcerated men—to transfer to women’s prison

whoa, trans here in GA, hadn't heard this. Where can I read more than an account of the abuse?

i'm comfortable letting your words tell the story of what happened here

If only there was some subgroup of likely Dem voters who could have gotten the party ahead of this issue before they found themselves on the immoral (and unpopular) side of the issue.

Surely nobody with that kind of viewpoint was chased out of the party for "antisemitically" IDing a genocide.

again, would be way more effective for you to repeatedly assert this to any group of people OTHER than those who are telling you we voted for Harris.

what are you accomplishing other than demoralizing ppl who have no choice but to support Dems?

correct. i admit i don't have the answers, as opposed to pointlessly insinuating that we voted for Trump or abstained, and that of we hadn't "the genocide would be better".

you're making claims you can't back up. i'm just poking holes

How does this change the fact that you're repeatedly telling ppl who didn't vote for Trump that "they made the genocide worse", pointlessly.

I didn't say I can solve the problems you claim genocide apathy would have. I said you're lost

People out here blaming Trump on leftists opposition to genocide, taunting "oh great the genocide you hate is worse now", never considering for an instant "what might have happened" if Democrats dropped support for the genocide in 2024.

See there's this thing called Congress, and if you get ppl in there who have spines then it turns out you can do things. It's incredible what you can do when you serve your constituency instead of AIPAC

by all means, continue

Stop selling arms to Israel, for one. Like any of the things pro-pal ppl have been calling for for the 1.5 years you've been hating them? Disinvest immediately. Disincentivize corporate support of Israel.

If you can't handle being quote-posted without chasing down every criticism that escaped the containment of yr post, you can always turn that off, or NOT go responding to ppl who have decided to disengage by showing you showing yr ass

"I am saying that voting for the demonstrably worst candidate, the one who had previously shown he would make life worse for every single minority, was not smart."

Tell it to someone that opinion applies to, then.

tend to get defensive when someone tells me I voted for the government that now oppresses me, and keeps talking even as ppl say "we didn't vote for him, we voted for her"

This is a strange thing to say again and again to a bunch of people who said "we voted for her" as you insist "nobody can know that, so let me repeat in case any of the leftist Trump voters are in the room with us now"

It's giving "all lives matter". It's irrelevant to the discussion.

Some people are just richer than they are gay

Either smoking is so dangerous that tobacco products should be banned outright, or they’re a matter of adult personal choice.

The slippery slope here is horrifying.

Rule of acquisition #420 -- "No"

"it's too late" gave their whole game away. they're here to humiliate and shame ppl for Trump winning, there's no other goal but making ppl feel bad for something they didn't do

50+ years of both parties building the war machine police state that now threatens the world, but oops, it was those pesky ppl who weren't excited to vote for a "lesser genocidal evil" but did anyway. They made the fascism happen. Boo *them* in particular

better accuse some more opponents of genocide that they caused it, then. running out of time to do nothing to stop the inevitable

Juuuust a coincidence

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

Love to see the party I'm morally obligated to vote for is gearing up for the fight they need to be ready for -- *checks notes* -- telling minorities who reluctantly voted Harris that they voted for Trump.

Democrats are not going to save us

by "busted in" i mean when ppl criticize Dems, you leap in to assume they must have voted Trump, or not voted. You are airdropping into conversations where nobody voted Trump, and equating criticism of Dems as a vote for Trump. Fucking Blue MAGA -- YOU MUSTN'T DISAGREE

The people you're mad at aren't here. You're yelling at a bunch of people who voted in support of a genocide they saw happening, and acting as though they didn't vote for who they voted for. You make this lose-lose for me -- support the lesser genocide? Get Dems yelling at me. Don't? Same

"You can't know that" applies just as much to your assumption that when you bust into threads like this to berate people, you are speaking to Trump voters.

"Trump won" =/= "I can walk into criticism of Democrats and assume it's Trump supporters"

In the words of you, "u can't know that"
