President Donald Trump says he’d like to see Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip — potentially moving out enough of the population to “clean out” the area to create a virtual clean slate.
…
“Something has to happen,” Trump said. “But it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there.” He added: “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
Greater of two evils turns out to be greater than imagined. Protest votes in shambles, denying that this was entirely foreseeable.
Notice how the “protest votes” have completely vanished? 🤔
Public outcry over the Palestinian Genocide has never been louder and it will keep getting louder.
Public outcry ≠ protest voters.
ok, so what exactly would this category of people you define as having voted and done literally nothing nothing else be doing to not disappear right now?
It seems to me, by definition of how you have delineated the category of people you want to criticize you should expect not to “see” them until the next time they vote…
At least a few of them have been pretty outspoken here on Lemmy even after the election. Not so now though.
I don’t understand how this distinction works though, I voted for Harris so I don’t fit into either category but wouldn’t you just remove people from the “protest vote gone quiet” if you saw them not being quiet about it?
Like those just become “protestors” right?
Good
Removed by mod
Because the accounts who’se goal was to influence the election have done their job, they are taking a break.
Because they never existed in any meaningful capacity.
Good job being trained to hate other poor people
There’s no genocide if you’re not around to fight for your land, I guess. No wars under trump - yeah, because he forces you to bend over and take it up the ass.
Protest votes did not meaningfully impact the election
