Most democratic voters disagreed with biden on gaza, it is the people who support human rights here who will suffer under fascism. I hope you sleep well when american protestors are shot in the street and when people are dragged off to jail or executed for opposing trump. Your clean conscience has only brought down the boot of dictatorship on 330 million people in america, we the people of america are who you voted against. Poor people with disabilities will lose healthcare, housing, medical care. Without democracy there is no path to progress on any issue. And you and all who refused to vote for harris have killed democracy and thrown the vulnerable amongst us to the fascist wolves.

I live in Texas and we have an electoral college. I voted Democrat down ballot. My vote changed NOTHING. Even adding ALL the electoral votes to Harris would change NOTHING. And I'll stick with my friends who are Palestinian American who also find it gross when people vote for the person committing a genocide against their families. We've been pushing the democrats for better rights for quite some time. For ALL human rights here and abroad. Not just some rights for Americans only. Hopefully those of you who were comfortable and stayed home the last four years will finally join us now that a republican is in office... I also love (sarcasm) how so many people voting to "save our democracy" love to tell people who they should and shouldn't vote for which is the opposite of democratic.. But I guess it's follow the leader's example as she tried to remove valid candidates from ballots and told people who have lost their whole families to "shut up" and let her talk... I swear the democrats are just as fascist as the Republicans...

There were a number of Democrats in Congress who tried to change Biden's policy on Gaza. there were Democrats led by an Independent, Bernie Sanders, in the Senate, there were Democrats in the House of Representatives so it was a minority of Democrats but it was in fact Democrats who stood up for the Palestinians in Congress where they could have made a difference. So no Democrats are not just as fascist as Republicans and problems OF democracy such as third party ballot access can only be solved WITHIN a democracy. Now Congress is controlled by Republicans who never took a stand to help the Palestinians but now that Trump is elected Congress isn't going to matter. Congress is going to be completely irrelevant our courts are going to be completely irrelevant this is what happens in dictatorships. I criticized Biden I criticized Democrats but at least we had Democrats who stood up for the human rights of Palestinians so no we are not just as fascist as the Republicans especially not the Trump Republicans who don't want people like you and me to have the right to protest, who don't want people like you and me to have the ability to work to change government policy. we will not have a voice anymore.

So we just quit worrying about a mass genocide? So once the Supreme Court says "no more same sex marriage" we just quit trying to change things? Once Roe v Wade was overturned we just quit trying? So it makes sense that when Arabs are getting killed we just shrug and quit trying when we can't make change? Seriously? Y'all are a joke when it comes to "human rights". You pick and choose and completely forget the civil rights movement leaders who recognized that Palestine is tired up in the freedom of EVERYONE.. But of course we don't care as much about indigenous people or people of color or the damage we do in the Congo, Sudan, Iran, etc... .. Only LGBTQ abroad and American women's rights matter.. I very you have an iPhone16, too... That's the difference between you and those of us who care about Palestine. We care about the rights of ALL I've listed above. History will shame you. I hope you find a way to live with yourself. Meanwhile, I will continue protesting for Palestine, Sudan, the Congo, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and the rights of all people of the WHOLE world. Americans aren't the only people that matter... America is a genocidal, colonizing state, and most people seem to forget that...

I think you could help them more by going over there, this is another country. They have been at war since earth and refuse to end it and you want to blame that on Biden. If we didn't help Israel they would turn to Russia or China or another one of our enemies for help in exchange for their assets. Israel is a global leader in missile defense, cyber, advanced tanks and they supply us with intelligence in that part of the world. I'm not on any side, they all disgust me.

People that failed to vote to protect their fellow Americans will be responsible for what will happen. Also human rights abroad are not going to benefit because Trump will unite with the dictators around the world and wipe out Freedom not only here but in many countries. I agree with you about Biden and his policy on Gaza so do most Democrats and by not voting for Kamala Harris you have showed you do not care about the people in this country, the vulnerable people who will be suffering. you thought about punishing a politician in the name of a greater good that is not going to materialize. you have thrown away your freedom and that of millions of other people. It is not the opposite of democracy to advocate that people should vote for a particular candidate or warn of the consequences of what will happen if they don't. This election was not about Kamala Harris it was about the American people and what is going to happen to us. I guess you think nothing bad is going to happen and things will just go on as usual. unfortunately I think you're wrong. Having a democracy is what makes changing government policy possible. I live in New York and we have better rules that benefit third parties, we have a third party called The Working Families party but they did not play spoiler in this election and they endorsed harris despite disagreeing with her about Gaza and other issues because they know the only way forward is to have a democracy and now we don't have that so there will be no way forward on any policy. I have been very critical of corporate Democrats, in fact I joined a third party when I was younger and worked to try to help get their candidates elected. I don't just care about freedom and rights for people here in America, I care very much about the Palestinian people, the people of Ukraine and around the world. Project 2025 calls for eliminating all humanitarian Aid to other nations.

If you care about genocide, you care about ALL human life... Sorry you don't have a red line and will vote for anyone no matter what. Red MAGA =blue MAGA... You basically voted for a genocidaire. I don't have to live with that. You do.

I voted for the American people and for people around the world because we are the ones who are going to be impacted by the fact that Trump was elected this is not about Kamala Harris this is not about just voting for a politician I do not agree with the Biden policy on Gaza. this is about protecting 330 million people in America and that is who you are punishing and that is who you took a stand against and that is who you failed to protect. I understand that if Kamala Harris was elected there would have been a chance to change our government's policy on Gaza we could have continued to fight for changing that policy and for changing policies on so many issues. but now we don't have that chance anymore. You had the freedom not to vote but I am telling you the consequences of that that you made and everybody made not to vote for Kamala Harris are going to be devastating for people here and another countries and it's fine for you to sit there and say I have to live with voting for someone who supported genocide, i did not vote for genocide, I voted to protect the people and to prevent much greater harm happening to humanity.
