because it’s not what she campaigned on. She very easily could have run a policy focused campaign and shown the American public how much they would benefit from a Dem president.

Instead, she campaigned on maintaining the status quo, working alongside Republicans, being pro-Israel and being anti-immigration. If the DNC weren’t trying to lose, then I think they’re incompetent.

I’m not counting on Trump for anything. I’m expecting other member states of the UN and especially the EU to act as the actual hard line for Israel, as they have for the past five decades. It’s already starting to happen, and once sanctions are in place Bibi will finally start to become unpopular and can finally be replaced.

It’d be very nice if those sanctions started with the U.S., but it was never going to happen under either party. The number of lives lost will be the same. The U.S. has never been what has stopped Israel, it has always been global perception.

This really was the year that Dems took the mask off huh. They can act as smug and superior as they want; they don’t realize they’re exactly as stupid and gullible as Trump supporters. The only difference is that their parents voted Dem so they get to think of themselves as a “good liberal.”

If you’re blaming minorities for not voting for a party that supports their ongoing genocide, then you are Blue MAGA. It’s not even a joke anymore, they will unironically tell you to shut up and fall in line to try and fight fascism.

You know there’s an entire rest of the world that exists right? A rest of the world that has already started preparing sanctions against Israel if the conflict continues to escalate?

Realistically, we’ve seen this all beat for beat before. Israel treats Palestine as an apartheid state, eventually a group forms to try and resist Israel, Israel crushes that group’s bones into dust for a few years, and then once they can offer no more resistance, Israel returns Palestine to an apartheid state. The pattern has repeated itself several times now.

To start, we have to understand that the genocide of Palestine started before the October 7th attacks. Israel’s rampant illegal settlements in the Gaza strip may have been the final straw that provoked Hamas to make a move, but Palestinians have been abused, forced into ghettos, and murdered by private citizens for decades. All of this, and nobody in the West ever really batted an eye at the suffering except for a handful of informed leftists.

If Harris had won, the most likely outcome is that the immediate conflict would eventually be paused, just like it paused after the second intifadas. No land would be returned, no settlements removed, but Hamas’ forces would be decimated to the point they could not fight back and Israel would return to their quiet slow genocide until the stars align to renew their attack once more.

Now that Trump has won, the most likely outcome is…that the immediate conflict will eventually pause, just like it paused after the second intifadas. Israel isn’t an island, if they ramp up their aggression ever further, eventually other parts of the world will push for sanctions on Israel. A Trump win doesn’t suddenly give Israel carte blanch to build the gas chambers, they still have to pay lip service to international law. Israel will inflict a grievous wound on Hamas, deep enough that it will take another generation before conflict resumes, and go back to expanding their settlements.

This genocide has been happening since before I was born, and multiple Democrat presidents have had an opportunity to say something or work towards curbing Israeli aggression. They’ve all vaguely promised to work towards a two-state solution, knowing that the current two states are what they want. If Kamala Harris couldn’t even call it a genocide, then she was no different, and it would be foolish to think she would actually take any steps towards meaningfully stopping Israel.

The conspiracy that no one wants to acknowledge is that we’re moving towards a country that is privately owned by a handful of billionaires.

We’re already there. Their prized pig already swindled the uneducated voters, and their “brave opposition” fulfilled their role by constantly seeking failure. The U.S. was sold in 2010. It’s been owned for so long that the masks can start coming off now.

This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.

What use is there in taking your own life?

If you cannot flee, then prepare to fight.

There very certainly is, because the Democrats should not be the party for Nazis.

As has been shown this election, the Republican party are Nazis. Trying to influence the mythical “good” Nazis to vote for Harris was a terrible idea to begin with.

It’s not a war, it’s a genocide. The UN is able to call it a genocide. The Hague is able to call it a genocide. The fact that Harris refused to acknowledge it as a genocide meant that nothing further would actually be done.

Harris could have won, she just needed to throw Biden under the bus like he deserves. Her written platform is honestly fine, I think she could have run a progressive campaign of change, but instead she chose to run on upholding the staus quo. Maybe she wasn’t given the choice by the DNC.

“Really well run” seems like a bit of an exaggeration when people were doing vote-swaps in swing states with liberals who didn’t want to vote for her.

Look as bad as today is, I’ve gotten some amount of chuckles imagining my potential role in the future of underground furry porn trading, so thank you.

Yeah, but might as well have him in a cell for those months than free. What else are the courts going to do until January.

Then don’t. Fighting for hope is overrated anyway. Fight because you’re angry. Fight because of what they took from you. Fight because this isn’t okay, no matter what anyone tells you. Fight because you don’t want to let it ever happen again.

Just don’t stop fighting. Don’t give up.

Hey, I really like the sound of the eightfold path. Is there any Buddhist literature you would recommend? It might be really nice right now.

They needed to course correct 8 years ago. They may never get another chance now.

Maybe your left, I think the global left is trying to offer a lot more than that. Don’t conflate Dems with useful politicians.

So why was Harris’ answer to adopt a strong anti-immigration stance?

Everything the right was harping on about was a lie, but the Dems response was to amplify those lies and say “We hear you and will crack down on illegal immigration,” fully knowing there was nothing to crack down on.

Not that you’re wrong with your conclusion, but you picked a bad issue to go on. Democrats won’t solve immigration because there’s nothing to solve. Immigrants are not committing crimes at a higher rate than the rest of the population, and while America gets a lot of migrants, we also have a collapsing birthrate and need a growing populace for infinite shareholder growth.

The problem is that Republicans keep making up lies about immigration, even nonsensical lies like “they’re eating the dogs,” and the Democrats do nothing to dispel these lies. They don’t sit down with the charts that verifiably disprove the Republican bullshit. Instead, they pick it up, and promise they’ll be tougher on immigration next time, giving legitimacy to the lies.
