No you didn't misunderstand the statement.
You're simply not comprehending the depravity of our BlueMAGA/Zionist/retarded contingent.
They don't view the genocide and apartheid as an issue of our time that needs to be ended and judged appropriately. They are simply angry that enough people made Gaza a primary vote-deciding issue that it tanked Biden/Kamala's re-election/election chances.
This is why
- They're both-siding this issue (what about the Republicans??): they want the fact that Democrats are marginally better than Republicans on this issue (more ethical, more green, 10% less genocide!!) to be enough to swing the vote. This is the strategy that that dumb idiot went with, and lost badly with, despite blowing over $1 billion...
- They align with that fukking ghoulish Zionist b*stard Van Jones and view the outrage over Gaza as an output of Iranian and Chinese disinformation (it's impossible for Americans to be upset at genocide unless foreign actors infiltrate our social media). I'm sure the same was said about protestors during the Vietnam War: influenced by commies...
- They didn't get upset at domestic protestors like Mahmoud Khalil being targeted by the Trump administration, and suddenly lost it when Trump expanded those gestapo tactics to Americans and undocumented immigrants...
They simply don't care about this. They view Gaza as the flu in the ointment and wished we would just stop paying attention about it so that their mid Democratic candidates would win easily. Or, like our resident idiot suffering from a horse kick to the head, they're secretly Zionist and/or Islamophobic and agree with ethnic cleansing (they just disagree with the person in power doing it). Or they're simply retarded and know nothing (like our resident Drake/Yung Nudy enthusiast).
That's why, despite Trump's overall odiousness and ineptitude and amoral nature, his (imperfect yet substantial) moves at forcing a lasting ceasefire aren't being met with relief. They couldn't give a shyt if more people died or not. God forbid Trump get any praise for this. That's their overall concern. They ignore the fact that Biden could have done this. They ignore the fact that Kamala could have come out more forcefully on this. They ignore the fact that Mandani despite being popular (including among Jewish New workers) is being shunned by the Democratic establishment precisely because of his principled stance. They ignore the Democratic establishment's silence on the ceasefire or next steps. It's simply about the line of scrimmage and ensuring they marginally look better than Republicans. If that means they pride themselves on conducting a more ethical, 10% less genocide (despite having the power to do much better), so be it.
