    I’m glad you’re involved in the cause - I just wanted to highlight how we should have class solidarity against the ruling class and not divide ourselves based on who’s voted for whom as if that’s what makes it or breaks it.

    Well then you did that poorly, because this was an accusation that I did not care enough and do not do enough when you did not actually know:

    I just hope you will now become more understanding of the Palestinian struggle (as a refugee yourself) and will fight for the DNC to recognize both your rights and theirs as you now more viscerally understand how you’re both in the same boat.

    So maybe reflect on how pointing fingers and making assumptions is not the best way to build solidarity.

      Come on, stop being so divisive. Why are you getting upset at a group of people who’s actions directly contributed to empowering someone who put an anti vaxxer in charge of health, actively believes the greatest threat humanity has faced so far is a hoax and wants to strip your fellow citizens of rights. Can’t you just be a bit more understanding of the fact that they felt icky?

        Excuse me? Would you be understanding if you have spent a huge amount of your time fighting genocide and were accused of not caring or doing enough?

        Even the person who said that to me realized it was wrong of them, but you want me to apologize for something?

          I was hoping my juxtaposition of people feeling icky vs the literal fate of the planet would make it obvious that I was being sarcastic but I guess there are people who genuinely think this way. Otherwise we wouldn’t be in the position we are now.

      Fair, I can understand how it came across that way - I didn’t mean to blame anyone but the DNC for losing an election by not doing the one thing most of their voters wanted them to do.
