I hope when you're in the prison camp you'll understand that there may have been a slight chance to get Kamala to end the genocide, but there was zero chance to get trump to end it.

Has the united states been fascist for decades? Yes. But even the fascists knew there were limits. But maga fascists don't have limits, don't care about laws, don't care about what you think. Maga fascists only care about their own self interest, and if it hurts the citizens, or requires aiding a full genocide to build a resort, then so be it.

So please, enjoy your high horse, I'm sure the dead children of Gaza who might have had a chance of being saved under a Harris administration will understand and forgive you.

This is some copium. Genocide apologizing copium. Not exactly something I’d want to be carrying around. Do better

No this is a person who was screaming that trump would do everything he's done so far and worse because he said he would, and was trying to get you single issue voters to see that. There's no "genocide apologizing" or copium" no there's just a pissed off citizen who's watching his elderly parents and friends on disability from the VA loose everything they depend on to live because of people like you that couldn't see the bigger threat that was trump.

Kamala whose husband is a promiment zionist, campaign manager was a zionist, and who could never formulate and articulate a single policy position on her own in any of her campaign runs? That Kamala? You're just huffing hopium. Yes, and maybe aliens would land and help us out too. I mean come on.

While we are proposing far fetched nonsense possibilities that go against what the candidates said they'd do: Did you consider that Trumps well documented anti semitism would give an even better result than Kamala?

The glimmer of a chance is better than none at all. Now we've lost everything, I'm watching my elderly parents and friends on disability from the VA loose everything because single is voters refused to see the bigger threat that was trump. I didn't like Kamala, I voted for Bernie twice, but I knew trump was a big enough threat to this country that voting 3rd party or not voting at all was a vote for trump.

I consider anyone who voted for trump, 3rd party, or didn't vote to be like an arsonist in an apartment building. Your desire to burn everything down caused you to burn down your own apartment, but the rest of us have to live with the consequences of your actions.

What makes you worthy of consideration that you wont give to other innocents being starved and blown up with our own tax-purchased bombs? Are you supposed to be special to me because you live closer or have whiter skin or something? Well you're not.

First of all if given the chance I'd cut all support for Israel and let them reap what they have sowed. I've called and written letters to my congresswoman and both senators to tell them I want the US to stop supporting Israel.

Second, I'm not special but I do care about what happens to my country and those I'm responsible for. Kamala was a horrible choice, but trump was and now is going to destroy this country and the support systems that millions of people depend on to survive. Do we need major reforms, yes, but allowing the ultra fascists to take power isn't how we get there. That's what all the people who latched on to this one issue and then voted for trump, 3rd party, or not at all refused to hear. We had the chance to maintain some stability and push for change, but now we've heading to 1930's Germany.
