I don't know why I'm surprised they don't but I really expected that maybe this time they would care even a tiny bit.

Like they kinda sorta cared a little bit about healthcare for a minute and that blew over, and then they kinda sorta cared about minority rights for longer than I expected so that was cool but these issues are actually kind of historically complex and difficult to solve so I wasn't too surprised when libs just... fucking forgot. Climate change, me too, student loan debt...all sorta kinda complex in certain ways.

But genocide is so simple. It's probably the least complicated issue that libs have ever had to confront. Bombs go out children go boom it cannot be less complicated.

And yet here we are with libs across America hand wringing about how well it's maybe not genocide and maybe it's somehow complicated and maybe we should talk about it after we defeat Trump who we're SURE will do this complicated thing we can't quite understand worse somehow.

I guess if genocide staring libs in the actual face isn't enough to get them to care a tiny itty bitty bit about maybe trying to do something good for once...is there anything that possibly could? I can't imagine much worse of a thing than literal genocide. Maybe libs are just wholly incapable of using their brains or their hearts in any capacity at all.

And if that's the case is there any hope at all? I know there is but man this moment watching this election and everyone cheering wholeheartedly for as much genocide as they possibly can might be one of the most hopeless I've ever felt

Blue maga party loyalists are gleefully defending genocide, but regular people, generic liberal apolitical randos, actually genuinely believe Biden is trying. They genuinely believe Harris is trying. The entire news media is complicit in a really shocking level of disinformation that they have committed before but don't really commit often. They reserve it for situations like this.

Normal people will find out soon how bad the lies have been, and how bad Biden is. This will have an effect on a pretty substantial number of people.

Genuine question, what do you think the result of this will be? Because my outlook is not optimistic, to say the least. “Normal” people are simply libs waiting to be scratched, here.

Even if they did have a face turn moment, they'd great man theory it away saying it was an unprecedented bad actor combination of Bibi and Biden that made it possible and that's the most optimistic outcome. When the full toll of this slaughter is documented a mere jingling of the keys will be sufficient in making these "normal people" forget about the hundreds of thousands killed and maimed
