I’m so fucking tired of seeing this comment, because it’s just so unbelievably dumb. It would make (some level of) sense in posts about Elon taking over the government and immigrants being sent to Guantanamo Bay, but here? Like, just genuinely fucking stupid. And yet people keep fucking making them in all news threads about Palestine.
Can anyone here actually show me examples of people saying that Trump wouldn’t do this? Because all I saw was people saying that Palestine is going to be fucked regardless, and they didn’t want to cast their vote for someone who was going to support genocide. Meanwhile, comments like this one imply those people thought Palestine would be saved by not voting for Dems, which is a straw man.
Did you guys just forget how much happened under the Dems, and think Kamala winning would actually have improved things for Palestine? Is that it? Do you think it’s somehow worse for Palestinians now?
Stop with this comment in Palestine posts already. It’s seriously the dumbest fucking place you can make them. Go make these comments in a post about Trump censoring scientists or something.
EDIT:
So many downvotes across all my comments here (at least 26 in this comment as of right now), but not a single person has managed to actually answer me. No one can show me people who voted third party (or didn’t vote) saying that Trump is better for Palestine, and no one can answer how are things materially and concretely worse for Palestinians under Trump. Someone even tried to lecture me about how Trump is worse for America - as if I hadn’t literally said that already in this fucking comment.
This is why people use the term “Blue MAGA”; it might not be as bad as Trump MAGA, but it’s just as delusional and cult like. The one way in which Dems and Reps are the exact fucking same, is the one that people are choosing to shout about how much better the Dems would have been. If you are one of those people, next time you are thinking to yourself “why are so many people uncritical, unquestioning, believe everything they hear, and have a tribe mentality, etc.”, look to yourself for the answer.
Gonna leave this thread now, so any further replies I will answer when I am back on.
Explain to me how, then. Don’t be abstract or vague. Tell me, right now, concretely and materialistically, and preferably with sources, how are things worse for Palestinians right now?
I’ve had this argument before and I never got an answer. Do you think it makes any difference for a Palestinian who is being shot/tortured/raped/blown up/having their home destroyed if the weapons and ammo that are being used to achieve those goals come from one American party or the other? Or did you just forget everything that was happening in Palestine before Trump was elected? Feel free to look at the links I posted.
Okay first of all, a lot more, maybe all Palestinians will be killed under Trump.
Second of all, the Trump regime will completely dismantle the US. They’ve already started. People like you (presumably) didn’t show up to vote democrat for some vague moral win in Palestine that doesn’t have any real world implications. Even if the situation in Palestine were exactly the same under Harris and Trump. Millions of people all over the world will suffer because of Trump’s decisions. Queer people, immigrants, women, poor people are going to fucking die because of Trump.

Again, completely vague. But while we’re at it, how is that different from Dems? Have you been living under a rock? They were actively bombing, shooting, raping, and killing medicals workers in Palestine. So what do you base that “difference” on? The fact Trump said he supported it instead of “only” helping it happen?
Second of all: thanks for demonstrating the lack of intellect and thinking in these type of discussions. I literally said in my first comment that Trump was worse for America. I literally said you could be saying this shit in any thread that isn’t about Palestine, and it would make a lot more sense. And yet, here you fucking are, trying to lecture me about how Trump is worse for America, as if I hadn’t already fucking said it and my question was specifically about how it affects Palestine. Why are you even arguing with people if you don’t even bother to read what they say?
We’re not talking about Reps though. We are talking about people who would usually vote for Dems, but because of their stance on Palestine either didn’t vote or voted third party. Can you show me examples of people on Lemmy who voted third party or abstained that said Reps would be better for Palestinians?

Here is an article from July 2023: Israel Is Officially Annexing the West Bank

You’re one of those “once genocide starts, it can’t get worse” people, aren’t you?
I’m one of the “genocide is genocide” people. And you still haven’t said how it’s actually worse, though. More vague BS avoiding the question.
Because far more people will die.
My god.
Look up the Trail of Tears.

Reps calling him genocide Joe was indeed implying this
What about calling him Butcher Biden? Or is the Irish MEP also a Russian troll?
Claire Daly is absolutely pro-Russian, yeah.
No longer an MEP thankfully, her and that other clown Mick Wallace were both voted out…

Yes. Verdant Banana.
Asking for such evidence is a classic manipulation technique of conservatives and will be discarded as untrue anyway the moment it’s delivered.
Off course, how convenient for you.
I’m a Socialist btw, but go on with your excuses.
