Users in hexbear wiping their hands of the guilt of election outcome because Palestine - eviltoast

Essentially, there have been two reactions over on grad today:

  1. I didn’t vote, neither of the candidates were going to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, therefore, there could be no good outcome for the US, therefore I can’t be held accountable
  2. I voted for a third party, which Republicans will have to acknowledge and respect

    Look, I also thought the whole “don’t vote” schtick was kinda annoying, but personally, I place most of the blame on:

    a) those who actually pursued this outcome (fascists)

    and

    b) the DNC for their limp-dicked campaign strategy of being the Republicans-but-less-so while appealing to institutionalist values within an extremely populist cultural zeitgeist

      appealing to institutionalist values within an extremely populist cultural zeitgeist

      I feel this so much in my fucking bones. They’ve been doing that since Hillary’s campaign. I think I’ve given up hope that they’ll learn, considering they’ve had this long already.
