The bigger problem was that when you brought up domestic genocides before the election, it got handwaved away as you not caring about Palestinians and also dismissed as not going to happen. I saw this over and over on Lemmy, along with the ludicrous idea that once a genocide has started, it literally can't get worse because genocide is genocide.

No need to astroturf when there are a huge number of self-righteous people who think the only cause that matters is their cause.

I do have to wonder how many of the people who earnestly bought the whole "a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide" people ever talked to a Palestinian in their lives, let alone asked them what they thought of that idea.
