      Joe Biden and his administration sent 8 billion dollars worth of hellfire missiles, artillery shells and bombs in January. He sent 20 billion in August. Your quotes aren’t necessary.

        We get it, that wasn’t enough for people like you so you help elect Trump and now you’ve got the genocide you really wanted.

          It’s more about holding the dems accountable. They are supposed to represent their constituents, instead they chose to represent genocide to the point of losing an election against trump of all people.

          The bad guys in all this are ultimately the ones that enabled genocide and not the voters who abstained (other then trump and his fanatics obviously). The democratic party basically aimed for a low turn out and if we aren’t critical of them, we will get the exact same energy next time.

          I toed the line and voted strategically but the whole time, I was asking myself what the fuck they were thinking. Now that it’s over, I can’t really blame normal people that were conflicted about genocide.

        it was so blatantly naked, too. we had to cordon trump from power, vote the republicans into irrelevance, and then launch a progressive political movement. now trump has near infinite power, voting may never happen again, and our progressive movement has to operate in an environment where participation may legitimately get you killed.

        this is why accelerationism doesn’t work. does chuck schumer seem like he’s learned his lesson to you? have you actually punished the democrats for running to far right? or have you punished uninformed voters and yourself for not knowing how horrifically bad donald trump is?

        the elites have always, and always had enough access to protect them. and running mutual aid networks is not somehow easier when everyone is dependant on them rather than just some.
