DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.

    It’s hard to have sympathy for someone being treated how they thought others should be treated.

    Excited to hear the schadenfreude when Dem voters get the treatment they advocated for Palestinians

      Ignoring your false premise that Democratic candidates were *in favor of genocide", particularly in a way that any other viable candidate wasn’t, and ignoring that Democratic voters weren’t in favor of those policies: you still have the fact that an Americans opinion on how our government should pressure another government to act towards another group is fundamentally different from an Americans opinion on how their government should treat them.

      You’re saying Americans should be genocided because what Israel is doing to Palestine is abhorrent.
      I’m saying my sympathy for people who get hurt by what they explicitly voted for is limited to voting for them to not be hurt.

      Yeah I’m glad for everyone who didn’t vote or voted for Trump. It’s great that Palestine is free now and no one has died since.

      …the WHAT Riviera??

      There is a huge difference between voting for a party that fails to be better less awful than another party in one single place (not even being worse!) because they are the only alternative, not because you have any love left for them on the one hand and campaigning for awful policies on the other!

      One is a form of harm reduction, the other is a form of actively trying to harm people and that you pretend to not understand that makes me seriously question your motive.

      Especially since there was not a single party running that was remotely decent, even if we look into the fringes. The American greens had kinda somewhat a not completely wrong take on Palestine (maybe), but were dogshit about Ukraine, because they were bought out by another imperialist mass murdering regime.
