My only point, respectfully, is 800,000 people are dead. What was anyone in leadership doing to stop it and to prevent it from happening any further?

Let me be clear, I was for swing states voting for Harris because I am fully aware of how dictatorships roll but voting for Harris wasn't going to stop the dictatorship from rolling. It was on the way and going to roll. If Harris had won, it would've been just a little bit more down the road. But the cop cities were and are being built. The police indemnity is already in place and growing. The Pal protestors and the orgs for peace were already being legislated as terrorist orgs. The billionaires and democratic mayors were already sicking police and fascist mobs on the protestors. Bombs were still being sent to kill more than 800,000 people. Brown people were still being gunned down and mistreated by the state sanctioned slave catchers in the US. Muslim Americans were still seeing a crazy uptick in violence against their communities and the Democrats were barring them from speaking at the DNC.

In some people's purview, shit wasn't good under the Dems. Maybe better for me? For you? Sure. I've had many black internetizens say "Oh? It's finally bad for YOU. It's been bad for us the entire time." Even my Mexican co-workers here in Los Angeles shrug their shoulders and say it's not new for them.

But you're right. It's not good. I don't condone it. Most of us don't. But I also don't condone feeding into this wedge argument pitting working class against working class when all anyone wanted was for 800,000 people to not be dead, for politicians to hold slave catchers accountable, and for money and jobs to come back to this place.
