Yes I'm sure it lines up exactly with the imaginary image you've constructed of me in opposition to what I've said.
In response to your edit: I think I made it clear that I voted for Kamala but that it was expected that people would not vote to legitimize a government that was actively encouraging genocide, sometimes against their own people. That this somehow makes ME a hypocrite as a sticking point and not YOU for your fundamental inability to consider solidarity as a value is what makes this whole exchange laughable.
Oh cool, so now by them 'standing up' against the 'legitimization' of the government, we're in a better place to oppose it, right?
Oh, we aren't? We're actually worse off in terms of our ability to oppose the government? And disadvantaged demographics are going to suffer for the purity games of the privileged? Just like I said when you tried to pull this dogshit argument earlier in this argument?
Fucking lovely.
Solidarity is all-important when it's time to sabotage disadvantaged demographics, but it doesn't seem to matter one fucking whit when there's actually a chance to defend them. How curious.
Do I have to go back and quote you from the very start? You yourself admitted that, in your conception of their motivations, they regarded both outcomes of the election being genocide for Palestine; and so decided that it was, then, acceptable to embrace genocide in America in addition.
But hey, who needs introspection when you can play purity games while people like me get to go to the concentration camps, or be stripped of the already-meagre healthcare support available to the American poor? I can't wait until I'm vomiting blood again because I can't afford my medication. God, that was such a fun time. These next four years hold such promise of nostalgia in that sense.
But don't worry - you and the people you defend, I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about.
