    They are either humiliated, or they literally believe 4 years of genocide is worth it to send Democrats a message. I’m done giving a shit about their opinion. Half of them were probably Russian or Israeli anyway.

      We tried to warn you that continuing to support genocide would be too much for some voters. You wanted genocide so badly that you screamed that anyone who tried to warn you was a Russian.

      You’re getting the policy you refused to abandon, and you’re blaming your left.

          Biden should have abided by the Leahy law. No democrat has any business supplying a genocide.

          Whether or not it would have stopped the genocide, who knows? We didn’t need to be complicit.

            Some of us have things to do in addition to entertaining entitled genocide supporters on lemmy. I’m not sorry that I didn’t respond within your timetable of checks comment times one hour.

              But you still haven’t answered the question, who is the realistic non-genocise candidate we should have all voted for to prevent this? You’re so adamant that anyone who voted Harris loves genocide so much, so who was the non-genocide candidate that you, in your wisdom, voted for?

                But you still haven’t answered the question, who is the realistic non-genocise candidate we should have all voted for to prevent this?

                That wasn’t the question, and this comes off as gloating that both major candidates agreed with you that we should have kept funding genocide.

                The question was:

                So tell us, what was the realistic option that would have halted the genocide?

                Which I answered. Biden should have adhered to the Leahy Law. That was a realistic option. I don’t know if it would have stopped the genocide, but we would no longer be complicit.

                    They literally did, stop being a redditor who expects an instant reply for you to post on your basement corkboard of “internet arguments won 19374, arguments lost 0”.

                    You didn’t get a reply in an hour and thought you won? Touch some grass.
