Everyone of these dumb fucks can just go shut the fuck up. They are one of the main reasons for the Trump victory. All of them knew Trump would be worse, but they were all too fucking stupid to just go with the least bad option. Kamala was not a good candidate, but she was better than Trump in every facet.
They were too insignificant to listen to. They're too insignificant to blame.
Their rhetoric and decision to not vote for the only viable non Trump candidate is plenty reason to blame. They aren't as bad as people that directly voted for him, but they are the next worst thing and the difference between is borderline indiscernible.

Centrists ignored them on the grounds that they could afford to lose them. You were wrong.
who ever thought trump would be better for palestinians is dumb asf. not saying harris would have done a good job since it seems no president will take their side.
They were complaining that Biden was doing nothing for the situation.
What did they think Trump was going to do for them?
Well, he was the "Muslim ban" president, so it couldn't have been good.
But that ship has sailed. We have a malicious, greedy oligarch in control of the USA now.
People always start taking the status quo for granted eventually. On one hand, Trump might actually end the Palestinian genocide. Just, not in the way they want.
Yeah he'll get the genocide finished as quickly as possible.
The situation in Palestine is going to get worse under trump, but then things were also getting worse while under Biden too. There is no winning for Palestinians because the plan is for Israel to take over the entire area. Policy over partisanship, as AIPAC puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
Go fuck yourselves. Almost everyone tried to tell you this was going to end badly.
God. Damn these people are so pants shittingly stupid.
They are going to be yelling about how no palestinian can be removed from their land even as they are being tossed onto a plane to El Salvador.
Stupid fuckers. All it's going to take is one u s soldier getting his boot scuffed, and they'll round them all up.
They've been scuffing the boots of IDF soldiers for years and they're still going
But, hey, I'm sure the US is totally different, look at how easy and cheap it was for us to occupy Iraq /s
Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He's ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War ~~day 1~~ ~~week 1~~ ~~whenever convenient~~ committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.
You know. Peaceful things.
Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.
I'm a little more concerned about our loss of democracy and rapid societal decay.
I think some folks just wanted the worst possible outcome for Americans.
Go right ahead, not like there will be much to fight over after Trump turns Gaza into a Israeli resort town.
I'm rooting for you!
How completely unexpected to see the libs firmly deciding that this is all the fault of brown people.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X: "Gaza MUST BE FREE from Hamas. As @POTUS shared today, the United States stands ready to lead and Make Gaza Beautiful Again. Our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people."
Ahmad, the spokesperson for the Abandon Harris campaign and a Palestinian activist, also said: "Despite the entire world being against them, Palestinians have proven that they will be victorious. They are returning to their homes and living among the rubble—people like that cannot be defeated. That is not a matter of opinion; it is a fact."
The level of cope is just so hard here.
I bet this face must be extra tasty for the leopards.
These leopards are going to get diabetes with how they’ve been eating lately.
"Over the past 16 months, the Biden-Harris administration's full, unobstructed support for Israel's campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing has failed to remove the Palestinians of Gaza from their land," Hudhayfah Ahmad, a spokesperson for the Muslim-American led Abandon Harris campaign, said in a statement to Newsweek.
"It is not Trump—just as it was not Biden or Harris—who decides what the Palestinians can or cannot do; that decision belongs solely to the people of Palestine."
I hope what's happening to the Palestinian people never happens to you, but if it does I hope people don't treat you the same when you beg for help for your friends and family who have spent their entire lives under occupation and multiple genocides.
Hopefully someone doesn't have to write a new poem, but it seems like humanity didn't learn the lesson last time:
I hope I'm not ever stupid enough to pick a Republican that has pushed for Palestinians to be removed from Gaza, that told Israel to do what they had to do to end the war during the election, and talked about harsh punishments for pro-Palestinian protestors into office.
One can be critical about the one side support from the Biden administration, which I absolutely was and still am, yet realize that there are worse people out there and not be so stupid as to let that evil into power.
Enjoy your protest vote, hope it works out for you guys.
Lil Marco is such a pathetic bootlicking weenie.
