    jsyk, the majority of ‘genocide joe’ social media posts were right wing propaganda

    I mean sure there were some that chose not to vote because of Gaza, but the number doesn’t really make a difference in the final count.

    More people abstained due to sexism honestly

      I’m not sure thats true. Many people had legitimate concerns that Biden was backing a genocide. I’ve never seen any stats showing that they were right-wing posts. Plenty of left-wing people were mad about that as well.

      Hillary won the popular vote when she ran. I think most people abstained because Harris was a terrible candidate, who ran on terrible policies that went against what the voter-base wanted.

        ‘Genocide Joe’ was an alt-right psyop designed to catch up progressives with distaste for the realities of middle eastern politics

        Either you are naive to propaganda, or are actively spreading it

        It doesn’t really matter which is true though blocking you from my future lemmy experience serves to address both of your possible failings.

        No centrist believes this because no centrist can imagine opposing the genocide that remains the single policy any of them are actually willing to stand for.
