I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

So basically, still in denial about how Trump and Netanyahu are going to absolutely wipe out Gaza from history now while gaslighting'ing as hard as r/conservative. The overlap with the way Trump voters handle politics is astounding.
The fact that it's already been entirely demolished from the Biden admin kindve nullifies this talking point though.
Gaza had been getting wiped out by Biden supplied bombs for over a year. Trump wouldn't be able to talking about "rebuilding" gaza now if Biden hadn't already helped demolish it.
You’ve promoted trump as being the rebuilder of Gaza enough that all doubt regarding your motives here have been removed.
You’ve purposefully left out the fact that he has recently agreed to send Israel $1BN and a fleet of bulldozers, (something even his **allies** are condemning as an attempt to “_ethnic cleanse_.” Palestine) as part of an ultimatum where he told the Palestinians to either leave their homes forever, or become one with the craters their homes will become if they don’t.
The Olympic-level athletics it takes to side-step this fact and twist current events around to still make what is currently happening as being Biden’s fault while trying to posture trump as the one to fix things- can only be performed by someone…. let’s say, ”loyal”, enough to still believe his bullshit
I put "rebuilding" in quotations because I know he doesn't have good intentions. You don't have to be a trump fan to hate genocide regardless of the perpetrator
What does any of that have to do with what I said? I'm talking about the strategic decision the Democrats made to not make concessions to the people inflamed by the genocide in Gaza. In no way did I deny that Trump is far worse than Kamala/Biden. Pointing out that Kamala/Biden made a conscious decision to not move left on this issue isn't gaslighting, not that you're even using the term correctly
Americans had one vote, and you guys continue to gaslight what it effectively was, for Trump or against Trump. What it wasn't was an opportunity to change the system by making a political statement, and now all anyone who has fallen for this rhetoric has done is cemented where it's heading to now. To change it you would have had to work outside the system. Now, even attempting to do so is far more likely to get you locked up. Congrats.
You keep using that word but I'm not sure you know what means.
I'm not even advocating for people to vote third party or boycott the election. I'm just making the argument that if a political party wants a group of people's votes, they should court those people. If they fail to do so, and those people choose not to vote for them, the political party only has itself to blame
Don't worry, the US looks like US voters won't have to worry about being able to have any effective choice for much longer.
You are over reacting.
No amount of exposure to news will convince people like you of your narrative. But how does your mental lapse even work? First, you gaslight about Democrats, then you claim to be aware of what the GQP is going to do, and now after demonizing or recognizing as bad any of the two choices you have you now try to argue that you have a choice? Consistency is not your forté.
Didnt say any of that. You can be right and still over react, you know that right?
