Tl;Dr. Palestine won't exist in 26' because of protest voters. Just take accountability for your fuck up and b done with it.
They can’t. It does not compute. Refusing to defeat trump was the only logical, well, moral choice you see.
It wont remain existing, immaterial of who would have been in the White House.
Biggest sponsor of Israel is US. No more US, no Israeli holocaust.
Take some responsibility. The "we're an iota better than Trump" strategy lost miserably in 2016, 2024, and would have lost in 2020 if not for covid. And here you are, still spreading blood libel about leftists. Leftists almost universally held their nose and voted for the shitty lesser evil candidate, just like they do every fucking time. But it didn't matter at all, because nonaffiliated and more casual voters don't show up unless they have someone to vote FOR not someone to vote AGAINST. Not enough ordinary people, not the people hanging out on lemmy politics subs, but just normal working people, were convinced that Kamala would make any meaningful improvement in their lives. Meanwhile, Trump was making an immoral, but very clear and direct case of "I will raise your wages and lower housing costs by deporting millions of immigrants." Trump made a direct case for how he was going to improve the lives of some portion of the population. Kamala didn't. And that's why she lost.
And no, screaming about democracy doesn't work. It's a piss poor election strategy. The vast majority of the population doesn't feel that we actually live in an effective democracy anyway. People don't feel the need to protect a system that isn't serving their interests.
Yeah, go ahead and name call. That really helped you win last time.
If I'm a tankie, you're a quisling.
Do you have any evidence that things would be better in Gaza with Harris? Neither Biden or Harris gave any indication they'd be prepared to withhold aid for the genocide.
I'm sorry, I seem to remember Biden endorsing blood libel against the Palestinians on obviously provable false allegations and never correcting himself.
I seem to recall him doing absolutely fucking nothing to slow down the israelis.
Also nothing in response to the Republicans trying to end the Republic in all but name, his reason for fucking being as president.
With your dog shit Democrats we were never going to keep the fascists out of power, this is your fault for parroting The Establishment Democrats' bullshit. Even now you won't admit a mistake.
We need new leadership,.
Username checks out.
That's not true. Biden would have done the same thing. He drove voters away, not us
