As I recall, there were fuck-tons of blowhard tankie trolls berating everyone and accusing anyone voting democrat of being “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtErS” and that everyone should either vote for dipshit unknown, untested, 3rd party clowns, or not vote at all.
So… I took a look around and yeah… there’s no high road for you here.
I don't know why you went out of your way to use the mocking "gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtErS" while, when, an actual genocide was being committed. You can disagree with the strategy of not voting for genocide supporters in elections, and there may even be compelling reasons when the alternative is trump, but mocking the people who prioritise not supporting genocide isn't a very high moral ground in my opinion.
More than attempting for third parties to win, the whole "conditioning the vote on an end to genocide" was attempted at forcing the democrat administration to end the genocide under threat of losing the elections, not "let's make sure that X third person gets elected". The democratic party was clear: we will not compromise in our support of genocide even if it costs us the elections. So they lost.
I mock it because before the genocide in Gaza, there was another genocide that NONE of you gave a shit about. Also, before the conflict in Palestine, NONE of you cared to know that there was shit going on over there for decades. I’d even go so far as to wager that most of you couldn’t have pointed to Palestine on a map prior to last October- and some of you probably STILL can’t.
So, forgive me for recognizing crocodiles tears when I see them. Because I’m not buying the bullshit. You for sold on a propaganda campaign.
I don’t speak to unprovable anecdotal claims.
