Outright racism against Muslims is becoming normalised among Liberals. And their entire argument is that "Trump will genocide Palestinians harder".

I'm literally just raging reading this shit.

It’s a self-own not to vote for the people already genociding you

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 71 points 4 days ago (6 children)

The "carrot" approach clearly isn't working. Im sorry to say but some people genuinely need "the stick". They need to be shamed and reminded of their inaction when it came to not voting Harris.

Carrot approach? When? Where? What carrots?

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 46 points 4 days ago

The last time the Democrats did the carrot approach was Obama 2008. And he won by an absolute landslide. Every other time was "You don't want the current Republican to do these bad things, do you?"

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago

imo these people are just so privileged and entitled that they think giving potential voters nothing but being slightly less outwardly fascist is "the carrot"

it makes no sense to me how regardless of the outcome they think they can blame anyone but the democratic party. coke isn't entitled that i buy their product over pepsi and neither of them are entitled that i buy their product. why would it be any different for voting, especially in a country where as many have pointed out, your vote boils down to consumer validation rather than actually exercising some supposed democratic right?

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've been begging for half a carrot. Even just lie and tell me there's a carrot. That's my bare minimum.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago

they don't even respect us enough to lie, it would risk scaring the donors

Watch out Muslims! When we were in power, we gave Israel infinity dollars. Trump won, so he's gonna give them infinity + 1 dollars. How'd you like that!

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Them doing literally whatever the fuck they want with zero consequences will be so much different when trumps president.

Also, we saw bidens repsonse to the Palestine protests and it was uhhhh..... not great.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

What, you mean calling people with a soul that were literally stating what the admin was doing 'Russian agents of disinformation' wasn't smart?

Sounds like something a Putinbot might say

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 58 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Liberals don't seem to understand that scolding is not effective. They're arguing with maybe 100,000 leftists and Muslims on twitter and r*ddit while they lost seven million votes since 2020. That's a hell of a lot of people that are not the ones they're scolding online. The idea of "appealing to voters" is alien to them. People will vote for you if they like your positions

[–] nandos_house_of_glues@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

“DID NOT VOTE” still won the popular vote like he does every four years but they’re never going to engage with “those people” (people who work at Kroger)

you expect liberals to take a position? even when they're taking a position they deny it's their position. liberals are spineless brainless racist trash. at least actual conservatives will tell you all the fucked up shit they think. liberals will walk right up to that line and then when you ask them if that's what they're saying they feign offense and act like you're the bad person and you deserve to be scolded.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago (4 children)

What's really sad is there is a long history of ignoring nearly 100 million non-voters (2020, 2016, more if you're depressed) that could be mobilized with actual ground game. But it's no doorknocking only donations :only-throw:

Is this an open admission that they lost the election because they failed to cater to those concerned about the Palestinian issue.... something they denied was an issue leading up to the election?

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 54 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They're literally just blaming voters lol. Some guy in the comments was like "Biden is 80% genocide while Trump is 100% genocide. Palestinians FAFO".

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't understand what it means to "blame voters". That's just how democracy works. If you don't inspire people to vote for you then you don't get the votes.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

Democrats don't value democracy so much as they value being in control. The only way to maintain their sense of unassailable moral superiority is to remain the political status quo.

Without that, they have to confront the fact that people have increasingly little use, respect, or patience for their two-faced, fair-weather-friend political beliefs.

[–] Neoinvin@lemm.ee 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

it's voting in the wrong lizard logic. people didn't show up to vote against the wrong lizard, so the people who voted for the right lizard assign them blame, since not having lizards isn't thought of as a realistic option.

[–] very_poggers_gay@hexbear.net 65 points 4 days ago (2 children)

reddit libs have absolutely jumped the shark.

yesterday, the top post on /r/pics was a bunch of random photos with the title Top general and 500 N. Korean soldiers killed by British Storm Shadow missiles Nov. 20 inside Russia. Cringe-worthy propaganda is all over every major subreddit and getting updooted to the top. half of it must be bots or astroturfing, but that means there's still tens of thousands of people doubling and tripling down on truly silly pro-US empire propaganda.

Outright racism against Muslims is becoming normalised among Liberals.

outright racism against muslims has been normalized among liberals for literally decades. none of this is new

Death to America

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Liberals have spent the last 8 years pretending to be friends with Muslims but Muslims ain't buying it no more.

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 4 days ago

Some liberals in online spaces have pretended that they are cool with Muslims (the "good ones" at least). Now these same ones dropped the mask. I don't think offline libs care so much.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 53 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I've said this before, but the catastrophic blunder the liberals are making here is not concentrating simply on Muslims but going after all minorities simultaneously

The way some of these filthy scum talk, you'd think the supermajority of POC's actively voted for Trump and by not focusing solely on one minority group they're instead targeting Black people, Hispanics, and even Native Americans along with muslims

The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, some liberals are more anti-black then they're anti-Hispanic so they want to blame the loss on black men, others are more Islamophobic, another faction is really peeved by the so-called "Hispanic betrayal" despite the fact Harris promised to implement Trump's immigration policy and Biden deported more people than Trump did in his first term

All of this is like acid on the funding and support structure of the democratic coalition and people are starting to notice every day it continues, liberals still haven't figured out that the kayfabe of social inclusive and anti-racism is what sustains their party, and now they're actively trying to tear their foundation apart because blaming elites is simply not comprehensible to them

Millions of POC's will never again vote dem because of this hate campaign and by the time (around the midterms) dem pundits panic and start posting articles about the dangers of alienating their base it'll be too late

[–] Burningmeatstick@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Harris broke records in crowdfunding and most of their rich backers swung towards Trump and so did big tech because of Trump tariff policy, and cause just mentioning the word Palestine is enough for Zionist backers to go elsewhere. So to support the working class base they had, they tried to swing towards the right and beg the rich backers to come home to them.

They also blamed Asian men, despite the fact that again, Asian American Men were second to African American men in percentage voted for Harris, and Asian American women were the only demographic amongst women that voted more for Trump then Harris aside from white people. Oh yeah, they also blamed LGBTQ people and are dropping them from their platform, even though LGBTQ people as a whole voted more for the Dems than any other demographic aside from Black women. They're so ignorant of the numbers and refuse to punch up to blame white people but, more specifically, the base of the elites who make up the Dems who clearly failed in their strategy; whatever, I hope the Dems go the way of the Whigs, but unfortunately that won't happen.

"We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you.

When our turn comes, we will not make excuses for the terror"

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 56 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's absurd anyway, Biden was already on track towards total extermination of Gaza. Being worse than even Biden would require a level of effort that Trump would never give.

The real limitations are imposed by the rest of the world, not the US.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 35 points 4 days ago

To hear liberals talk about it, you'd think the US was some poor, minuscule country being bullied into giving aid to mighty Israel against it's will, instead of the cold reality of the situation.

wojak-nooo "You acknowledged the reality but refuse to vote for the lesser evil" correct, I don't vote for fucking babykillers.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 51 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

86% of muslims voted for Biden. That ended up with full support for genocide and sending some of the largest Zionists of the party out to areas with large muslim populations lecturing them about how Palestinians deserve to die during the election campaign. At least they didn't send Fetterman I guess.

The efficacy of voting blue in order to get your agenda through is pretty obviously bullshit.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Dems are doing a better job of radicalizing people than we could ourselves

Think of how many people saw this circus play out, realized they could meaningfully do nothing within the confines of the system, and were lectured like they were petulant toddlers after

Leopards ate my face? I didn't vote for the leopards that eat faces party. I was weary of their face eating policy. This sounds a bit more like "first they came for the Palestinians and I did not speak out because I am not Palestinian. Then they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I am not a communist."

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago

libs be like:

smuglord those pro-Palestinians I'm not speaking out for commited the biggest self-own in history by me not speaking out for them

[–] grandepequeno@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

So the post is about an article that says the lady trump is appointing to replace gaetz wants to "deport pro-palestinian protestors", like, where? Seriously no one questions how that's gonna be done, and if there's actually a real chance of that.

So many of these statements by right-wing politicians are only done to appease their base, they're not actually afraid of the protestors enough to risk fallout by deporting american citizens.

One shouldn't expect better from that subreddit though, it's smarmyness embodied

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

risk fallout by deporting american citizens

I think you overestimate Americans and the Republican base in particular.

They literally dropped all the charges against the so called "threat to democracy".

Really shows you who they are... Willing to throw marginalized people under the bus as soon as its convenient and willing to let someone they labeled as "hitler" do whatever they want for the sake of "preserving the stability of our institutions".

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Love the moralising too.

One of the top comments was "basically here's what happened, they had an option to eat slightly stale cereal or elect somebody that would kill them and their whole family and they decided they really didn't want to eat the stale cereal."

If I had to sum up liberals "comparing genocide to eating slightly stale cereal" would be a really good start

[–] Darth_Reagan@hexbear.net 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I feel like these people just do not interpret the news as real events that occur. What do they think is happening in Palestine? Why the dumb ass allegory, especially when your side is LITERALLY KILLING THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY.

Clicked the link and saw someone claiming that the Palestinian genocide isn't a genocide, but that we should genocide them so that "it wouldn't be a bargaining chip anymore."

I'm out, I don't want to hate humanity rn.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think the argument should be “Democrats, trying to convince wealthy conservative Jewish voters in the Philly metro to flip, rather than working with their working class Muslim base in key swing states, might have committed one of the largest self owns in history.”
