Single-issue voters suddenly started caring about a genocide that’s been going on for nearly 80 years that they previously didn’t give two shits about (because of right-wing influence campaigns and bourgeoisie-owned media). They decided that the best course of action was to engage in purely performative, pseudo-political wankery that was only ever going to result in enabling fascists, as was easily seen in all extant historical election data from FPTP systems, so that they could pretend that they were doing something meaningful and stoke their egos by claiming that they had anything resembling moral high-ground.
Sorry, the world isn’t black and white. It takes consistent, strategic engagement to effect positive change and these people chose instead to inflict greater suffering on humanity and pat themselves on the back for a job well done, while also doing fuck all in the way of direct action or attempting anything to meaningfully improve the human condition.
Oh! And to add to that, I’m regularly seeing the same people deriding anyone engaging in non-violent action as “shitlibs”, specifically as it is not involving violence, while still doing absolutely nothing but be up themselves on the Internet. Want violence? Stop being a coward and do it yourself, rather than trying to pressure people into it on the online or engaging in the amoral religion that is accelerationism.
Both the genocidal neolibs and the egocentric protest non-voters are significant contributors in this. And before you try saying that I’m going easy on the nazis in order to deflect, no. Just stop with the dishonesty.
It’s an AND situation.
Dems went with the fucked up status quo.

weird that that wears you out
That’s very fair. Really. I got in an AuADHD-fueled, sleep-deprived stream of consciousness.
I also agree. Palestine and the Palestinian people must be free.
