Libs would rather cry for months about how they completely botched an election than do anything to stop a genocide.
Rashida Tlaib won 62-38 in a district that Harris lost 43-32-15 R/D/G. The idea that Libs can't win or that Libs won't stop genocide is flatly false. They exist. But they're also at the top of the AIPAC hit-list (Cori Bush and Jamal Bowmen were two other staunch anti-genocide candidates forced out during their primaries) so they have to fight for their lives in their own primaries rather than turning out the vote nationally for their candidates.
The dirty truth is that Dems can be gaslit and railroaded by a fascist white nationalist press as easily as any Republican. We saw a hard right tilt this election because we were flooded with hard right propaganda over the last two years.
Pinning the results of a tsunami of fascist media on individual voters is just blaming the victims. When your social media is owned and operated by apartheidists and gusanos why are you surprised to see voters adopt their views? Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Lol, so we're equating all Muslims as violent genocidal cultists, but only evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews are problematic?
And is that different to the vast majority of Christians and Jews? It's not evangelicals that ended roe v wade, just a couple trad Catholics. It's not the Orthodox Jews doing the genocide, just regular people.
Lol, tell me you've never read the old testament without telling me you've never read the old testament.
"Arab muslims" is a modern cultural designation based on language and religion. Modern Palestinians hail from the same Semitic people as Jews, and have inhabited the levanth since the early bronze age. You are not only incredibly ill hearted, but also incredibly stupid.
Wrong. All religions are problematic cults of personally built entirely on mass hysteria and delusion by people who value faith over fact. All religious people are cultists, it's just that we have been culturally groomed to accept some fictional beliefs over others.
Some religions are generally more compatible with secular society or other religious viewpoints (for example Buddhism), while Islam is unfortunately less accepting of secularism, which is fucking obvious to anyone who has ever looked at life in places like Iran and Afghanistan.

The Old Testament, as well as the New Testament, are mythology, not historical fact. They are interesting and informative to history only to the same very rough degree as the Iliad and Odyssey.
The fact that so many people are still caught up on treating these folktales as if they are fact is a big part of the problem with the modern world.
False. Are you just going to make believe that the Islamic Caliphates didn't take over the Middle East and large parts of the Mediterranean by force of violence? I supposed they conquered all of that land through love and peace? Is that what they teach at the madrasa?
At any rate, those people who lived in Gaza during the time of the Bronze Age Collapse were the Philistines, who were not of Arab ancestry, did not speak pre-classical Arabic, and had almost nothing in common with the modern cultural identity of Gaza, which became centered around Arabic and Islamic traditions during the time of the Rashidun Caliphate post the death of Muhammad. Culturally speaking, the inhabitants of Gaza during the bronze age had more in common with the Minoans than they did with today's Palestinians, so you have no room to be calling people "stupid".
And by the way, if you want to talk history, then let's talk about the fact that there was never an independent nation of "Palestine" at any point in the last 2000+ years, as it has basically always been controlled and governed by some larger empire, from the Ottoman Empire, to the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, the Greeks under Alexander the Great, the Persians, the Egyptians, and so on.
"Israel" and "Palestine" as nations were created by the British and the League of Nations within years of each other during the last century, and while both people have historical ties to the land going back hundreds if not thousands of years, neither of them have any more right to their land than the Native Americans have to their historical lands.
I'm not sure when the so-called self-proclaimed "leftists" of the world became the grand protectors of religious bullshit of the Islamic variety, but it ain't it.
Palestinians have DNA tracing back to the Canaanites so not by committing a genocide on the natives. Unlike Israelis.
Oh look. It's every centrist's inner monologue.
I guarantee I'm further left than you and Rashida Tlaib, it's just that I believe in secularism and you clearly don't.
Sorry buddy, but I'm not going to pretend (in the name of political correctness or whatever horseshit is in vogue these days) that Muslims, Christians, and Jews aren't fucking cultists participating in mass delusion.
