I don't get it. Are you happy Trump won, or...?
No, but I'm still disgusted by the amount of gaslighting we got for the last 8 months. All Harris had to do was make a plan to end the war, but she.. didn't. And some liberals want to call it our (people who didn't vote for her) fault.
More Palestinians will die under Trump. More Americans will suffer under Trump. More people around the world will suffer with a Trump presidency. But at least you showed the democrats...
It's almost like the tankies just want what's bad for America and don't actually care about palestine or human rights.
Unlike you who never cared for Palestine and actively defends Israel.
What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths?
What COULD he do?
Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.
I don't disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that's not what this post is about
Granted, Biden did almost nothing to slow it down, and kept Israel well supplied with the weapons of genocide. Do you really think it's a coincidence that Netanyahu waited until the day after the election to announce that Palestinians won't be allowed to return to northern Gaza though?
Granted, that was almost certainly the plan all along, but now even the fig leaf is gone. Without the need to devote any thought at all to political cover, Israel will stop even pretending to internal investigations of accusations against their own soldiers and redeploy those resources to the battlefield.
The number of Palestinian deaths may not be different, but they'll die even sooner.
The Generals plan is in full full force. Netanyahu has already fully cleansed north Gaza.
JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.
There was never a fig leaf. They already didn't need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn't tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.
The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.
Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they're both equal in this matter
How did you think this election was gonna go? You think there was still gonna be enough votes for Harris? Or that by some miracle a 3rd party candidate was gonna be elected?
People with your mindset are just as guilty as the dems are. No weasling out of this shitpile were now stuck in
For my part, I'm not sure it is, though lack of votes didn't help. The meme is perhaps meanspirited so soon after the painful news, but here's my question, and this is genuine: now what?
Trump will get to pick a bunch of lower federal judges and probably two more SCOTUS judges. What's the way out when it seems to me that he and his jackals control the military, the police, and the judiciary? Seems like a hopeless setup to me.
Harris lost, so what's Step 2?
Step 2 is support third parties
I appreciate your answers, but I still don't follow the logic. Thanks anyway.
and then they continue to get <5% and trump gets another term… then what?
Oh no, mean spirited comments that don't actually add anything useful!!
This you?
It's.... almost as if you do need to earn people's votes after all. Everyone already spelled everything out to you almost a year ago on changes the Dems could make but still you're wondering what Step 2 is?!?
Dems: We've tried nothing and are all out of ideas!, Third party, absolutely not!
Ew, you went through my post history from almost a year ago? Gross and creepy. No wonder y'all can't win converts to your cause if that's how you behave.
who's y'all and what are they trying to convert you too? Are 'they' in the room with you right now?
Glad you aren't addressing any of the critiques and just gonna continue living the meme. Also, you should learn that there's a neat little feature called sorting, there's a controversial selection that's really handy for shit takes to pop up in the first few comments!
I'm most definitely looking at the complainers right now to see if they're actually listening or have just been harping the same shit for a year and now trying to blame everyone else for the problem. We need to flush out this "woe is me" crap, as if people haven't been wondering for decades how they're going to be protected or how could democracy possibly survive in such a capitalistic and corrupt system.
D's lost, I wanna get back on the field and train with new strategies and directions. There's just a bunch of butt hurt locker boys who wanna complain about members of the team instead of learning to work together in a different way.
It is your fault.
I'm surprised to see an antinatalist support Harris. Seems morally inconsistent, though perhaps not from a consequentialist perspective. I've been blocking everyone sharing your sentiment, but I don't wanna block one of the few antinatalists here, so I'm commenting instead
Is Harris' loss my fault because I voted for De La Cruz? She could have easily earned my vote, but tried to court centrists and conservative voters instead.
Being an accelerationist makes even more your fault. It is bullshit the primary was skipped, but no progressives even tried to run there so you would have a similar choice.
I wasn't asking you. I don't have a problem blocking you
Am I happy I was right when I told Blue MAGA they should stop running a campaign on Genocide and was banned from LemmyWorld?
No.
Was I right?
Yes.
Your takeaway should be to start ignoring the Blue MAGA cult who tell you to stick your head in the sand while Holocaust Harris is speaking. Criticize them and make them so unpopular that they run another candidate who is not Bidolf.
Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.
I'm not really interested in criticizing people, myself. You can do what you like and convince people to join you in whatever way you deem fit, but in my experience, they tend to shut down and stop listening (maybe it's my delivery). I'd much rather show them there's hope elsewhere, especially because right now, that's what a lot of people want. Honey vs. vinegar, and all that.
By applying enough pressure that they run a decent candidate. Like how they replaced Biden because he would 100% not win after the CNN debate.
By allowing Democrats to run on a Nazi agenda and censoring dissent, the Blue MAGA crowd effectively doomed themselves.
Everyone fell in line behind an emperor without clothes. Are you really surprised the emperor has no clothes now?
It's been so frustrating to have to put up with Democrats that try to enforce a Republican-style party line instead of building the coalition they need to win.
It's even more frustrating when they put a hundred times more effort into trying to build a coalition with members of the party they claim to be a threat to Democracy instead of their own left wing.
