Opposition to the Iraq War is why I voted Democratic. Supporting the Genocide in Gaza is why I stopped voting for them. But I am sure they did the math and determined that votes like mine didn’t matter.

Not even significant enough to be a statistic

Not alone, but if you convince a few hundred thousand people in a few key states to not vote against a dictator...

How is it my fault that the Democrats decided genocide was the way to go? We tried outreach, we tried talking to our representative and congressperson, and not just me. We were formally from the top-down pushed aside and ignored.

“We also didn’t create a new category for Gaza responses out of fear that category would be leaked. Instead we were told to mark them as ‘no response,’” the organizer said, faulting top Harris campaign leaders for failing to address the issue. “The only ‘clowns’ out there are those who were in senior leadership and decided to abdicate on this issue, who silenced a Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and who told us to ignore it every time a voter asked us about Gaza.”

What difference does it make if the genocide was being committed by Democrats or Republicans? It is the same to me.

Make all the excuses you want. What's happening right now is your fault. Go tell your family you voted for this. Then maybe pull your head out of your ass, if you're capable of shame.
