Well, we have the fucking camps opening. Luckily, plenty of terminally online leftists are ready to tell us how noble and moral not voting was! (lemmy.world)

It sends the message that you’re not voting, what do you not understand?

Right. So, just hands up, silent protest kind of thing, give all the power to the even more horrid people?

Had enough people declared that they wouldn’t vote for the dems if they kept bombing civilians, they would have had to stop bombing civilians.

No, they wouldn't. Because "had enough people not voted" the Republicans would've stayed in power and escalated things even more - as they do.

Everything else are those people. with blood on their hand, trying to shift blame to feel better about their sad life

I guess it just sucks to be stuck in two-party system as hard as the US is. In most other places when you want to show you're not happy with one of the major parties, you vote for the smaller ones. This often forces the winner of elections to enter a coalition government with the smaller fish, giving them a little bit of power.

The genocide was going on for a year when the elections happened

Which genocide? Gaza, which decidedly WASN'T a genocide at the start, or Uyghurs in China?

Oh, right, I forgot - you people never talk about the Uyghur genocide.

Under the Democrats, Gaza was not a genocide. They had foreign aid, Israel was trucking water and meds in, the strikes were preempted with alerts ensuring extremely low civilian casualties. I know "a lot of people died", but in the first year of Gaza, the civilian casualties were historically lowest in terms of urban combat in a densely populated area.

You can stomp your feet all you want, those are the facts.

Once Trump took over, things escalated IMMEDIATELY, and him talking about changing the Gaza Strip into a hotel didn't help.

What also didn't help was how you people were screaming "genocide" so much, when there was none, that now that there IS a genocide being committed, nobody is paying attention, sweeping it all under the "alarmists are loud again" rug. Congratulations.

Your democrats

I'm not even from the US, mate.

You’re not off the hook, scumbag, if there was any justice all genocide voters would get trialed for complicity in crime against humanity

That means your kind, buddy. The people not voting are the genocide voters. Because anyone with half a functioning brain knew that Gaza would get wiped off the face of the Earth when Trump gets power. The people who didn't vote are the ones who would be tried in your scenario.
