A political movement organized around a policy, changing policy was resolutely rejected, and the movement was crushed. It would be more accurate to say letting Trump win was preferred over opposing genocide than the other way around. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rocket_dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago This but it's the green party whistling at genocide under Trump because they get to LARP hunger games on their social media accounts now. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I think I've already asked you this and you've already refused to answer, but I'll ask again just in case: If I challenged you to send an email to a prominent person- a politician, a celebrity, a business leader- asking them to use their power to speak to the media in order to speak on behalf of Palestinians every time you brought up the election, would you do it? permalink fedilink source parent [–] spujb@lemmy.cafe [S] 2 points 2 years ago no one here is cheering genocide. i wasn’t even shaming voters, i was shaming leadership and saying “wow i sure wish trump wasn’t elected” it’s clear you have more emotional investment in snarky internet comebacks than any other value you may genuinely hold. get back to us when you can reprioritize your shit. permalink fedilink source parent
