So glad the current guys got in! How's that going for ya btw? That genocide stop? No? It's accelerating? So glad more children can die so you can still confidently hold your nose in the air.
I hate the current guy even more. It seriously bothers me that the dems lost to him because they thought genocide was more important then you and me. I really wish they would have ran a proper platform, so we didnt have to vote for democracy and genocide at the same time, and still lose.
Keep blaming everyone but them and maybe we can have the same circus next election too. We all just have to come together and accept genocide, apathy and status quo like maybe three or four more times.
We will remember the devil's bargain we were forced to answer, so will the rest of the world.
This is a watershed moment in world history.
next election? there won't be an election next time, democracy is dead and you killed it.
good job on the protest vote, now that you have defeated the "status quo" gaza will be a luxurious hotel with golf courses instead, so much better, right?
do us a favor and go back to your tankie echo chambers / your right wing troll friends, depending on what you actually are
No, the Democrats killed it when they handed our democracy over to a facist on a silver platter. Rememer that they did this because they valued genocide and corporate donations more than they cared about beating trump.
"It's all your fault for not doing what I wanted."
Buddy, I'd be careful throwing those stones when your argument boils down to "It's all your fault for not voting how I wanted."
Well, that would have kept an actual fucking fascist out of office, sooooooooo.......
Repeat after me: Israel is committing a genocide.
Yes they are.
As is Russia, half a dozen countries, and oh we stopped funding the who and usaid.
So we're now aiding multiple genocides.
MISSION fucking ACCOMPLISHED.
I wish I read this earlier, but it feels refreshing to read even if I'm a few hours late.
Yeah, fucking duh! I'm not arguing that brain child.
Wait, you mean the thing that we told the Dems would happen, happened? Crazy, who could have seen that coming? It's almost like we wanted them to be a party of decency, so we could tell people to vote for them without having to defend the killing of children.
Maybe next time, the Dems should put up a candidate people want to vote for, instead of shaming people for being against Genocide.
So glad that you held the country, and especially vulnerable populations like LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, immigrants, and disabled people, not to mention the Palestinian and Ukrainian people, hostage while demanding that Dems do things that have zero historical evidence of them agreeing to. I can't speak for all of us but, I bet the others are also glad that you were able to keep your moral high-ground and didn't feel at all betrayed and upset about it. /s
Yes, you successfully ushered in fascism, just like you threatened to do. Give yourself a pat on the back.
It was not a threat, it was a warning. If you keep putting up bad candidates and bad policies, people aren't going to want to vote for you. I voted against fascism. The Democrats told me to sit down and shut up so that they could assist in ushering in fascism. Get mad at them, not me.
"I'm warning you, I'm going to support fascism if you don't change your platform (after which, of course, I will find some other policy to make this identical demand on)"
But I didn't support fascism. I voted against it. And I told the Democrats that it was unpopular and they didn't care.
And yes, genocide is one out of a hundred other policies that I don't support the Democrats because of. Maybe bombing kids, or bankrupting people with hospital bills, or imprisoning people for life for minor crimes, or deporting immigrants, or supporting rapists isn't a big deal to you, but it is for me.
Is that "I don't understand math" or "I'm refusing to engage in introspection of any sort because I only want the world around me to be at fault"?
Well, I don't fight against fascism and genocide because I think I'm going to win. I fight against fascism and genocide because I think they are evil.
Speaking of not understanding math: If every 3rd party voter changed and voted for the Democrats, they still wouldn't have won. They gave up the election when they could have easily won it. But feel free to keep leaving sarcastic remarks here against those that hate fascism and genocide, instead of trying to fix your low approval-rated party.
Apparently you don't fight against it at all. You just help it along.
Cool, now what about the other third of the country which was convinced by the "BOTH SIDES BAD, NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DUOPOLY" fascist-serving piss you lot peddled and stayed home, allowing fascism to win?
.
Next you're going to say, "I WAS ONLY ONE VOTER! I WAS ONLY ONE SMALL PART OF THE PROBLEM!"Well, I didn't help it along, and I didn't stay home, I voted against them. So I did fight against it. And the Democrats low approval because of their bad president, bad governance, bad campaigns, and bad candidates were probably the reason that a part of that third stayed home. I've also never said there is no difference between both sides.
You keep saying untrue things, and they still aren't true. Maybe you should start saying true things.
Pugjesus is toxic af about this, I am sorry
eh, it's fine. They are allowed to disagree. I just wish they'd do it in a constructive way rather than yelling at people. It's obviously not something for you to be sorry about.
Lol. It doesn't matter. They made their decision not knowing if it would effect the outcome of the election. They jeopardized our democracy and increased the chances of fascism whether their vote ended up mattering or not.
There's no point, the Russians just needed to give them an excuse to throw temper tantrums, they didn't even have to push that hard.
Of course I'm russian. It couldn't possible be that I am against the murder of the innocent, or against rapists, or against open corruption, or against torture and imprisonment. I can only point out the obvious failings of the party with terrible approval ratings because I'm a foreign agent.
Which is why we have much, MUCH more of all of that now.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED .
Well, maybe the Democratic leadership should have fought against all of that, instead of helping it along.
Your brain is broken.
Bibi LITERALLY endorsed trump.
Yeah, and I don't support Trump. In fact, I voted against him. I'm not sure what your point is.
Are you on meth?
yeah sure there's gonna be a next time... keep hoping, buddy
Well, I'm not sure if theres gonna be a next time or not. I assume Trump is gonna fight his damndest to make sure there isn't another vote. If there is another vote, I assume it's gonna be Trump, and a highly unpopular Democrat because they still can't be bothered to give a shit about fighting fascism.
Lol. They ran a campaign repeatedly explaining the dangers of another Trump presidency to the American people. But Americans were too concerned about a conflict on the other side of the planet to care about fascism at home.
The other comments are right. Your brain is broken.
Welcome to reality, and adulthood, where, more often than not, you are working to mitigate shitty situations to get the least destructive outcome possible.
Americans failed to do so, because they chose to squabble over a party not being perfect while a felon rapist and his enabling party of fascists took complete control.
Maybe next time (if there is one) we can cry again about the party that's provably better for average Americans while we descend further into fascism. That'll make things better.
Looking at the party for the last few years, I see: Choosing a rapist, child-killing, genocide supporter as the candidate. Gaslighting everyone on the cognitive abilities of said candidate. Continuously screwing over the working class. Gaslighting everyone on the state of the economy. Bailing out their rich friends, while telling the poor and homeless that they need to suck it up. Propping up the fascist that beat them as their opponent. Bombing innocent people. Saying that they would be harder on immigrants than the fascist. Helping build a stupid border wall. Increasing funding to violent assholes that attack the working class. Picking unpopular candidates and running on right-wing values.
I feel like that is a far cry from "not being perfect"
