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.

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 45 points 6 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 6 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 28 points 6 days ago

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 21 points 6 days ago

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

What, is promising to bury more Palestinian mothers in rubble not a good enough incentive for you?

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

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 58 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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 36 points 6 days ago

“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)

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

The ruling ideology and its two mythologies are so abstract and removed from material reality, they would sooner bring nonbelievers into the ballot box via catechism than slogans.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 29 points 6 days ago

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 16 points 6 days ago

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:

[-] Lemister@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Like Bernie was making inroads into the “red wall” states in the middle of the us. There are many places where the right call can stir up many people.

The people are looking to answers now, it is our call to give them ones.

[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

I know this is a popular refrain in left circles, but it's not entirely true. The Dems DO try to reach non-voters, or at least some of the many 501c4 orgs do this kind of outreach...

Problem is you need something that people actually want to get them to give a darn. Who knew 🤷‍♂️

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 51 points 6 days ago

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".

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago

Every time I see your pfp I think it's Saul Goodman in Disco Elysium art style

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

It is, lmao

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 20 points 6 days ago

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 23 points 6 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 20 points 6 days ago

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

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 54 points 6 days ago

Democrats are going to take away from this whole election that clearly being 99% Hitler just wasn’t good enough. Now they have to out-Hitler Hitler.

Inb4 “nuh-uh, the GOP are the real wokes.”

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 51 points 6 days ago

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 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

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 28 points 6 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 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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 6 days ago

risk fallout by deporting american citizens

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

[-] Des@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

yeah. deport american citizens just means "indefinitely detain" or "disappear"

whether they pull it off i dunno

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 6 days ago

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.

[-] miz@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

deep down they don't view Palestinians as people

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

Atleast it's not Harry Potter this time.

I've been noticing how shitty that sub's gotten. They post this every day.

They say the next leopard to eat their faces could have been a woman 😲

[-] Lemister@hexbear.net 23 points 6 days ago

No they can finally express their racist thoughts outloud- trump gave them permission.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

Liberals are projecting so hard. Look at how it's always "they" did wrong by not voting for Harris. These liberals don't put themselves in the same category as protestors, bipoc, queer people, etc.

It's always like, "listen I tried to tell you lessers to take your medicine and vote for the Democrat, but you didn't listen and now you'll suffer." It's never any semblance of solidarity, never thoughts about how to organize next time. It's just gloating. It's bragging about how they're comfortable white liberals who have nothing to fear, so they were throwing everyone else a bone by voting for the Dems.

Liberals see their own ideology as sacrifice somehow. They believe they're sacrificing something for the sake of vulnerable people, and yet this time around it seems like the vulnerable aren't grateful for another genocidal champion of the bourgeoisie

Death to america

[-] Kieselguhr@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Libs are insufferable as always

What's amazing that they still identify as pragmatist realists, even though their strategy utterly failed.
Wouldn't a true pragmatist realist throw Biden/Harris/the DNC elite under the bus after such a big L? Not these bootlickers.

Lots of liberals completely internalized Bush-era "War on Terror" rhetoric demonizing Arabs and Muslims. They tried to pass it off as "enlightened," that's the only real difference.
