In the 2024 US Presidential election, one of two candidates was going to win: Trump or Harris. FPTP+EC guarantees that.
Every person who didn’t vote in that race was half a vote for the worst candidate. More to the point, every person who didn’t vote in a handful of critical states was more than an entire vote for the worst candidate.
Remember how pretty much every thread leading up to the election had a bunch of chodes hollering about gEnOcIdE, only in reference to Democrats? And then the moment the election was over, that essentially stopped? I wonder why.
US military aid to Israel is a long story. The US has very longstanding agreements with Israel which all administrations must abide by. And I know this is hindsight, but how’s that Palestinian genocide going since Jan 20, 2025? All fixed now, yes? Wait, it’s gotten worse? Who could have seen that coming?
The Democrats lost millions of votes across the country at every level of the polls. If there are that many leftists that can tank the Democrats, then they should have been doing everything they could to pander to that base instead of pulling out the most vile Republicans from 20 years ago. Or they lost millions of votes because they spent 4 years telling people who got laid off, and could no longer afford rent and groceries that the economy was stronger than ever and they would keep the course. The Democrats banked hard on being Republican light and were blown away that they lost millions of votes. They still insist on doubling down on centrist bullshit because they don’t want to enact the actual societal changes that everyone knows need to occur.

Fascism abroad wasn’t enough, we needed fascism at home too.
