The US has always had all the leverage over Israel.

Israel can’t do anything that goes against the interests of US Empire.

I literally voted, so no i did not ‘do nothing’. This is a much larger problem than individuals considering it a ‘trolly problem’. Voter apathy is rooted in systemic issues, both in how voting is implemented within the country and what options there are to vote for.

From my other response:

Neoliberal policies have squeezed the working class, worsening both material conditions and future prospects, causing many many people to lose faith in the party. Business as Usual is a failing strategy when people are suffering from Business as Usual.

Right-wing populism takes advantage of that by putting the blame on the ‘other’ such as immigrants and marginalized people. The only way to combat right-wing populism effectively is with left-wing populism. To address the systemic issues causing the suffering with policies that improve people’s material conditions. That would be public healthcare, public housing, public infrastructure, worker protections, ect. The issue is that those solutions hurt the bottom line of private businesses, which are the donor class of the Democratic (and Republican) Party.

Neoliberalism will always side with Fascism because of that profit incentive.

If voting with our dollar makes no dent, BDS campaigns wouldn’t be effective. It’s easy to feel that way from an individual level, but when it’s a coordinated effort it certainly has an effect and the more people who join in the larger the effect is felt by the capital owners

I don’t think the 2024 election was stolen. But if you mean that there are fascists (Christian Zionists) within the Democratic Establishment who, at best, didn’t mind losing to Trump, I think you’re right.

No, recognizing why the Democratic Party failed to mobilize millions to votes with their campaign strategy is not the same as an individual choosing not to vote for a candidate because they “aren’t perfect”

I voted for Kamala, as many other leftists did, out of the principal of harm reduction. The reason the Democratic Party lost the support of the working class they initially had from the FDR days is entirely due to how the neoliberal policies have squeezed the working class, worsening both material conditions and future prospects, causing many many people to lose faith in the party. Business as Usual is a failing strategy when people are suffering from Business as Usual.

Recognizing the issues with how the Democratic Party ran their campaign and how that led to Fascism is the dumbest take you’ve seen?

I voted Democrat. I told others to. That doesn’t change the reality that the strategy they used failed to mobilize voters. The Democrats did let the fascists win. They did not take this election seriously.

I literally voted Harris and told other to as well, but sure dude. Let’s infight and cast aside solidarity instead of recognize the issues with the Democratic Party that got us here in the first place

If only the Democratic Party didn’t chose to prioritize continuing the status quo of neoliberalism (at the continued expense of US citizens and victims of US foreign policy), over defeating Fascism by providing genuine solutions for societal problems (at the expense of capital owners, such as public housing and universal healthcare) and following US and International Law to stop supplying arms and international support for a genocide.

Liberalism will always side with Fascism over any socialist opposition out of profit incentive, as has been the case historically. This is just another example
