    Y’all wanna blame anyone but the Dems for their shitty campaign. Last time I checked adding all the green party votes to the Democrats wouldn’t have changed the outcome.

    Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

    Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She’s fucking horrible and I’m glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

        Absolutely, but plunging the US deeper into fascism is not going to help with that. When you’re in a hole, stop digging.

    ☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

    ☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

    ☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

    “Democracy”

          Getting mad at people for not being willing to condone a genocide is a really wild take to me.

          If you’re saying that genocide over there is okay so that genocide over here doesn’t happen as quickly then I don’t really know how to argue that.

          We got to this point because the Democrats themselves have been toothless for much of the last 25 years, and prop up the same system that the Republicans are fast tracking even more. The dems did not lose this election just because of the Gaza vote, they lost it because they wouldn’t listen to or support the regular people on the street. Dems had the chance to enshrine things into law - they controlled senate and house for the first two years of Biden. They did not codify any protections for trans rights or abortion rights, then used both as a fundraising event.

          Over 50% of white men and women voted for Trump this time around.

          So instead of getting mad at people who could not conscientiously condone a genocide, why not get mad and dismantle a system wherein a few billionaires get to buy the entire world and commit genocides on a massive scale? The US has been bombing half the world for almost its entire history. That doesn’t change because Republicans are in power or Democrats are in power.

          The current system is between ultra rich and everyone else. If everyone else keeps shitting on each other that won’t change.

            You seem to have forgotten your previous post where you said, “It’s the same amount of genocide.”

            No it isn’t, now there is more genocide. Of brown people, of queer people, and apparently they’re coming for the indigenous as well.

            But arguing about the election is far more important than acknowledging that, isn’t it?

                You’ve had two chances to acknowledge that there have been several domestic genocides added in the U.S. and you have not been willing to, so I think you should be asking that question of yourself.

                  How have I failed to acknowledge that? I said genocide there vs genocide here. Seems to be an acknowledgement

                  However by your own logic, you have not said you don’t support genocide.

      i mean i disagree but have an upvote for at least being honest about your experience and positions.

      i was getting sick of all the accelerationist people screaming “lib” at me for daring to be a tad upset that trump is the president and the multipartisan means by which we got here.

    I don’t remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

          There’s an ongoing ceasefire, trump is all words, but you’d know better if you actually cared about Palestinians more than performatively. The daily deaths are much lower so far than under democrat administration. This is surely not thanks to trump’s good desires for Palestinians, he’s as much of a genocidal ghoul as any American politician, but the numbers are the numbers

            If you had a working memory, you’d recall that trump has been calling Bibi and torpedoing ceasefire and foreign aid talks.

            Also, there are a lot fewer Palestinians in Gaza left to shoot, so it would make sense that the numbers went down.

            Oh, and the current ceasefire was negotiated by the Biden administration.

            But you’d remember all that if you cared “more than performatively.”

              Source? I feel like you just make this up. It was enacted literally the day before the inauguration wasn’t it? Why enact a ceasefire the day before the inauguration of your political opponent after 2+ years funding the genocide and talking about Pissrael’s right to defend itself and arresting students at campuses for protesting a genocide?

              Also, there are a lot fewer Palestinians in Gaza left to shoot, so it would make sense that the numbers went down.

              God you guys are fucking vile, trivialising stuff like that and pulling out bullshit arguments. The ceasefire is ongoing, that’s the reason why orders of magnitude people are being murdered, not a lack of Palestinians to be genocided. Nazis ramped up their industrial elimination of “Untermenschen” when they saw they were losing, despite “fewer left to shoot”.

                Pop quiz… Who was the president the day before Trump was inaugurated in 2025?

                Why enact a ceasefire the day before the inauguration of your political opponent…

                Maybe because the preservation of human rights and life should be pursued regardless of who the President will be tomorrow?

                  So how is that compatible with the 2+ years of funding and supporting genocide?

    Trump literally wants to remove 2 million Palestinians, the literal definition of genocide. So how’s that going Jill Stein and protest non voters?
