TC has a psychological need for Harris' defeat to be the fault of Palestine protestors, to serve as retroactive proof that the cause of not aiding genocide wasn't worth supporting. Many liberals are struggling with the idea that the administration's hand in crimes against humanity was not, in fact, a tragic electoral trade that needed to be made. They sold their consciences and got nothing to show for it, and now they're mad at the people who kept theirs. For most of the year following Oct 7, these people insisted that the administration knew what it was doing, that it couldn't afford to, say, follow US law regarding arms sales. It had to do these horrific things in order to win the election and prevent greater horrors. That bargain didn't work, and they're now grasping for any moral high ground they can find, contorting themselves into the notion that it was the genocide protestors who were morally craven. --- Have you tried thinking rationally? ...

Go talk more about how Muslims are homophobic or w/e you like to do.

Homophobia isn't something exclusive to Muslim communities. The closest thing to "math" I've seen suggests that the reason Trump won is because of racism, sexism, and homophobia and you can find those things in people everywhere. Pointing out that some Muslim leaders are homophobic is just unfairly biasing the blame as if there weren't 10 homophobic Protestant preachers for every one homophobic imam. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

Tyranthraxus posted... Homophobia isn't something exclusive to Muslim communities. Okay. I need to say we do not always need to do this. Saying "Some Muslim support to Trump was driven by social factors" does not need to come with an explanation on "ah, but you can find homophobia and transphobia everywhere". Yes, you can, and bluntly, each of them own that. Being a minority doesn't absolve anyone. Some Muslims are just shitty people and not just victims pushed to the arms of Republicans. Lots of white people are, too. Jews who are mocking Palestinians and gleefully voting to spite LGBT people are a minority, and they're also shitty people and an issue in the Jewish community, too. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen ...

Here, I'll put it bluntly, the only thing any dem/progressive/minority should have been doing, at all, from the point that Kamala was chosen to run as president, was propping her up. There should have been zero bad mouthing, as that could drive away skittish voters. There were only two outcomes, and Trump was ALWAYS going to be the worst one for any cause that Dems/minority/progressives cared about.

I'm honestly not sure which is more disturbing - your hyperfocused scapegoating towards Muslim voters as being the chief reason why Harris lost, or your flagrant arrogance when called out on it.I've seen Humble literally post that they blame not only anti-Harris Muslims like this, but also third party voters, voters who abstained, and Trump voters themselves.
