There's just something really... (sigh) gaslightingly bass-ackward and ucked fup about this... (smdh)



For one thing, as for invoking MLK and the Civil Rights Movement, they never turned to a 3rd party. THEY WERE TOO INTELLIGENT TO DO THAT!

And you might note, if you get through the entire video, there seems to be some projection on the guy's part, esp. this whole thing about not disappearing after the election. That's EXACTLY what Stein and the Greens do!!! Why aren't there Greens in Congress? ASK THEM!!!!!

Unreal.....

1. you had a choice

between a very slow "genocide" that might actually not be a genocide... and a very fast "finish the job" genocide by starvation.

You chose the very fast genocide by starvation. Oh, and hastened the untold millions or billions of people to hardship and death via climate change ( which will come to everyone, but especially the middle east ). Just to send a message to VP Harris... who, as VP, had very little to do with the Biden policy on Israel / Palestine.

Well.. 60 days after Jan 20th. Let's see how you feel. I'm certain you will say to yourselves "well, at least we showed those Israel supporting Democrats a thing or two!!... BTW, did you get a message from any of your Palestinian cousins in Gaza in the last few days? No? I wonder what has happened to them?"

2. Horseshoe Theory personified....

"...the horseshoe theory asserts that advocates of the far-left and the far-right, rather than being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear continuum of the political spectrum, closely resemble each other, analogous to the way that the opposite ends of a horseshoe are close together." -- Wiki

Like Union members voting for Trump, they insist on hurting their cause in the name of supporting it. The far left abandons pragmatism/reality for the sake or pure ideology, even if that means knowingly (hypocritically, IMO) hurting the cause they claim to believe in so long as they can claim their conscious is clear. Right next to them on political spectrum is MAGA, who will gladly and hypocritically sell their souls (ideology) if it means getting what they want; they are purely pragmatic. Two sides of the same coin.

Hope that by "breaking" things, they'll have a better chance. In other words, accelerationists. I know a few. They're not
long term thinkers.
