I like how it's somehow non-voters fault even though they made their position abundantly clear. They're literally one of the only groups I don't blame. They told everyone repeatedly that they wanted an end to US support for Israel's genocide. Biden didn't do anything, and Kamala made no significant promises to end it.
Obviously Trump wasn't going to end the genocide, but continue it. But the point was taking a principled stance against an administration that could do something and did virtually nothing. When your options are genocide or genocide, and that's your main issue at the polls, of course you won't vote.
Also you're the person yesterday who was lying saying there's no genocide in Israel. You never did reply to my comment after yours was removed.
Edit: If you blame non-voters as much as Trump voters then you're the problem in leftist politics. You're the reason why their is so little unity in leftist spaces. Rather than find your communities or protect your people, you lambaste non-voters and cause greater division. People that had very legitimate concerns about a very legitimate genocide. Maybe you should try and look at the bigger picture of how this happened. Instead of blaming people that were very clear from the very beginning about where they stand.
So they sat home and let the worst of the options take control.
They cant really say genocide is their biggest issue if all they did was make it worse. Because that is what they did.
Did they make it worse? Legitimately, what did Biden do to stop the genocide outside of claiming to stop sending bombs that his administration still sent anyways? Seems like it's the same as it ever was in terms of the genocide.
I have no idea how you can blame non-voters when Biden held all power and still did absolutely nothing for his or Kamala's campaign.
Removing sanctions, allowing the biggest bombs to be sent to Israel again, starting deportations of pro-palestine protestors
You have to be lying or must be blind if you don't think that's worse
Biden was still sending those bombs during their administration. So no, the genocide is pretty much as supplied as it ever was.
