Indeed. Imagine the enormous stupidity it takes to think votes can be won by ignoring voters. Only a massive moron would think such a tactic would work. Good thing no one is that idiotic.

How about I shame you for supporting genocide

I’m not the one sending billions in weapons to support the genocide and then telling voters “other guy worse” to justify it. You obviously think the democratic party strategy which so severely lost them the election is a brilliant strategy, so this discussion will obviously go nowhere. Have fun posting your memes about burning houses while defending arsonists (instead of being open to the suggestion of perhaps not doing arson) and feeling morally superior because the other party has more destructive arsonists.

If pointing out similarities between the parties is a voter suppression tactic, then democrats should try being different from the republicans instead of kissing dick cheney’s ass and screaming that they need to move even further to the right after every election defeat. You cannot shame me for criticizing support of genocide.

Something to keep in mind when people are suggesting AI be used to replace teachers.

I’m not the one ignoring genocide, buddy. Next time tell the democrats that getting people’s votes is more important than sending billions in support of genocide. Sure though, people supporting genocide are totally not fascists just because the other party they love “reaching across the aisle” to support it harder.

Maybe if you keep ignoring voters you’ll get their votes someday.

Comic is too optimistic because here the fire was extinguished. In reality the fire has only gotten larger and is surrounded by all sorts of volatile elements.

The process from approval to actual drilling and extraction takes longer than that. Also, we’ve been a net exporter for longer than biden has been in office.

The US is a net exporter of oil and the country that we import most of our oil from is Canada: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=727&t=6

Iran has been a constant for decades, so that isn’t a factor. While Russia has been sanctioned, their oil is still being bought up at a steep discount by India and China, so those countries’ demand for oil from other sources are reduced and the impact to the oil markets are likely insignificant overall.

I voted for Harris, but obviously that didn’t work out, did it? If you honestly think republicans would go back to the center after trump is gone then you don’t understand republicans.

Wasn’t this the administration bragging about approving a record number of fracking permits?

The same NDP that doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at getting power nationally? Again, next year is going to be a disaster.

And what has the liberal party done with your vote? Next year is going to be a fucking disaster. The strategy of voting for the least bad option doesn’t work when the least bad option keeps getting worse. You can bleat at people to vote for the one party over and over again, but eventually enough people just give up or get desperate for any chance at change and think that voting for the other party will at least shake things up.

A party that insists we have to support genocide is already fascist and has no regard for human rights except to use as bargaining chips to get votes. Sorry.

They need someone to blame. Taking on blame themselves for ignoring voters? That’s preposterous! Those votes are clearly owed in the democracy that they’re the saviors of.

“Yes, we lost to the republicans. But for a beautiful moment in time we supported genocide with billions of dollars in weapons!” - the democratic party

You mean the speed up in the past year that happened under the democrats? Thanks for proving my point.

That was my point, the illusion of choice. While people are fiercely arguing over voting for one of the two parties, both parties are moving to the right. Now we’re at the point where both agree to supporting genocide. We’ve lost the plot here.

Always responding with “republicans are worse” does nothing except to shut down conversation of the complicity of democrats in all of this. It’s like pointing at a homeless person in the US and saying “well it could be worse, they could be homeless in a war-torn country”. It locks down the conversation to the two choice fallacy and blocks any conversation on avenues for that real change you are referencing. These voters are misguided, but it’s telling that democrats are so shit that these people thought a trump administration could offer anything different.

How do you measure this “speed up”? What you consider a speed up could’ve simply been the progression of the campaign which would’ve occurred under democrats as well. Either way the end result is the complete annihilation of the Palestinian people. Do you think starving them all to death is better than bombing them all to death just because it’s slower?
