    I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

    – Martin Luther King Jr. (1963)

      These are the same people blaming non-voters because they had a conscience.

      Democrats were fine with throwing Palestinians under the bus but people who said “no, we don’t want to be a part of it” are the “problem”.

      They don’t want peace, they just don’t want to be bothered by the actions of their system they created.

      Reprehensible people.

          I would go even further, by not voting the message those in power get from you is “the current situation/trajectory of society is fine with me”. Whether or not that’s what you intended.

        Oh, cause Palestinians are doing so much better under trump, right? He just gave Israel $3.3 billion for their military…

        But anyone saying “Kamala Harris would be much better than trump” is reprehensible?

        People making your argument have no sense ofrealpolitik.

          that wasn’t the only issue harris had. but that was the issue everyone looked to her at that moment to rally her base, only for her to not only dash that but to parrot the same neo liberal bull shit. and that’s when everyone knew that there would be no escape. if victory was the plan then the democrats should have known better
