the world is not binary. there are many people who bare part of the responsibility:
the republican party - all of them
republican voters
the democratic party
no-voters (who didn’t want to “support genocide” and now you have a worse genocide and a bunch of other horrible shit including a shit load of extra war crimes in ukraine for the foreseeable future)
the media
these and many more can have played a part all at the same time
it’s worth calling out all on their own because it surfaces a specific problem… just saying “billionaires ruin everything” isn’t helpful, because it simply shifts blame to a nebulous concept that’s further removed from everyday people
There used to be laws to force news stations to be bipartisan and show both sides.
Copypasta:
The “Fairness Doctrine,” which once required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues, was eliminated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1987.
Most of them now seem to follow a fucked-up interpretation of the Fairness Doctrine that requires them to always give the impression that there are no meaningful differences between the parties, which translates into painting Republicans as a perfectly normal, reasonable political party.
Obviously that is a larger factor for mainstream American acceptance than distant genocide. Most voters have no concept of political theory or world events.
This what you get, no-vote cowards.
I’m mad at the Democrats for under signing a genocide thus disaffecting their would be voters.
Ikr, so hard to blame the republicans and the people who didn’t vote for the shit us is in rn /s

The media is largely controlled by billionaires and thus republicans by association.

also, following orders is no excuse
That’s valid.

This is what you get for running two genocidaires.
Ahhh there it is… Finally getting honest are we?
What do you mean? The Democrats ran horribly unpopular genocidal candidates and lost. Do you disagree?
Only disagree on how much they suck. There are many more reasons why they lost.
I hope you are not about to say that they lost because “Kamala is a black woman”.
Obviously that is a larger factor for mainstream American acceptance than distant genocide. Most voters have no concept of political theory or world events.
Virtually nobody cared about her being black or a woman.
Her policies were horrible period.
Most importantly: She got nominated by the DNC because of her horrible policies. Not despite of them.
