Watching democrats slink away from their shameful defeat to donald trump, while taking zero accountability, has made me feel utter disgust toward the party. (lemmy.world)

I was perma-banned from politicalmemes.world for ‘Misinformation’ by saying you had to excuse genocide if you’re going to vote for Harris or trump…

Well here we are. Harris lost. This is the end game. Are you out of steam? I'd often hear the anti-genocide crowd only did it because they said they had leverage because it was an election year. So, I guess there wasn't leverage. What now? How do you stop the genocide in Palestine now. What's the plan?

I’ve been pretty politically active for the past 20 years, and it’s rough right now. Remain vocal and remember organizing locally is the most impactful. Complaining on lemmy (which I do when doom scrolling) doesn’t amount to more than yelling into the void. Boycotts, protests, volunteering, and a direct action approach to the issues you feel strongly about are where your time and energy will serve the most purpose. It’s great to see positive change on a national scale, but it’s far too depressing if that where you keep all of your focus. Internet communities are not as important the real ones we live in.

As far as the genocide in Gaza, the average person can’t do much more than boycotts, protesting and calling/emailing your representatives. It’s deflating when both presidential candidates commit to supplying the weapons being used to continue the war crimes…but I will remain vocal and participate in local events. Food Not Bombs is one I regularly support.

Keep up the good fight
