Big thanks to all the Americans who voted in favor of another trump presidency. He couldn't have won without them.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why not a picture of Kamala that says... "Sorry my neocon genocide platform didn't work."

[–] Neon@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

The one time you had the chance to actually stop fascism, you decided to not do it.

And now you blame those that tried to?

I really hope you're happy with Trump. Because you helped elect him.

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

The Gaza problem is as good as solved now.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah nice, you're getting a head start on the "blame the voter" strategy for the next election. Good job!

[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"If liberals are so fucking smart why do they lose so goddamn always?"

  • Will McAvoy "The Newsroom"

I don't think it's fair to blame voters when it's the politician's job during s campaign to convince people they're worth voting for.

Adopting unpopular centrist policies and aligning more and more with centrist Biden's policies as the campaign went on is just going to fill voters with apathy.

The Democrats, once again, didn't give us a candidate to vote for, only one to vote against. And I think the American people are sick of that carrot-stick routine, the Dems need to actually adopt popular policies.

And the establishment Dems are going to fight that tooth and nail.

Why did you need to be convinced to vote against Trump?

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We didn't. Most people did. Candidates running for office are a popularity contest. Biden has low approval ratings, Harris said she's Biden and wouldn't change most polices.

Trump is much much worse, and I voted for Harris in California despite knowing it didn't change how North Carolina or Iowa could have gone.

At some point "I'm not Trump" gets tired and going "I'm just like the guy in office who was so unpopular he dropped out, but I will give Republicans what they want on border policy and appoint them to my cabinet" reads more like Diet Trump than "I will give you policies that sway people away from fascism."

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Even a single life less harmed is worth it for that vote. People clearly arent that ethically committed if they needed to be convinced to vote against this

[–] BlitzoTheOisSilent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I voted for Harris. Roughly 60% of American voters who are eligible don't vote.

Harris needed to convince those voters that she was either worth voting for, or Trump was worth voting against.

She failed to convince them of either, so they stayed home, along with 14 million Dem voters she failed to convince to vote blue like they did in 2020.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

How was anyone not already convinced to vote against Trump again? Its not like he changed in four years

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More tone-deaf Neolib bs will surely work next time!!

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

What "next time"?

[–] AnarchistsForKamala@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

when does the candidate become responsible for their own turnout

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

As long as money is in politics, never.

We can always blame someone but the candidate who failed a popularity contest.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And I’d like to wish every 3rd party voter a very hemorrhagic stroke

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

Why? They didn't change anything.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Democracy is when you wish less than 1% of voters to die as opposed to Trump who will kill everyone.

[–] mashbooq@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Not less than 1%. Everyone who didn't vote to stop the fascist.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright! So Palestine is free now, right guys?....right?

[–] SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 year ago

Palestine is freed... from existing.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, a Very Special Thanks to the morally pure angels who refused to vote for Kamala Harris because they were standing on high ground about some issue they disliked her on. Well done, fuckheads.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

It's kamala's fault tho /s

[–] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That genocide is gonna stop any day now

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Didn't you hear? All Palestinians got a personal check for $1 million straight from trump himself.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Israel will steam roll the rest of Gaza and West Bank.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is fucked.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Big ups to those people who “voted against genocide”.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I heard halo polish is on sale at Walmart, they should check it out.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk -1 points 1 year ago

Good news, you'll all be able to sit out the next one as well!

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

hey at least SNL has 4 more years of fresh ammo

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a Michigander, a special fuck you to all the dipshits who voted independent

[–] Ferrous@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Like Dearborn? Where Arab Americans had been sounding alarm bells for months about how democrats were losing them? How they were upset about their brothers and sisters being blown the fuck up in Palestine and Lebanon? How leftists were vehemently warning for months that Kamala's callous take on the middle east "Im speaking now 🤫", could cost her the election?

Your comment is just thinly-veiled racism. Next time, just say you blame american fascism on american Muslims.

And now that you are reaping, you're lashing out. In textbook liberal fashion, you're scapegoating minorities as fascism starts to come knocking.

If you can honestly look at the complete ineptitude of the democrat establishment and Kamala's race, and still blame minorities, then I feel like I know which side you're going to take when shit really starts getting volatile here.

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Ah, hello, dipshit. Let's explain math, the "uncommitted" stunt resulted in Trump winning MI. Trump has said that he would untether Israel. So now the Arab community is in an even wworse position and there will be more death in the middle east. It's just that simple.

And fuck you straight to hell for suggesting I'm racist. You don't know shit. I'm fucking half Syrian. Enjoy the bed of shit you helped make with your flawed logic. Harris would have pushed for peace - Bibi put Dems in an impossible position by deliberately scuttling peace talks until after the election.

Also, it wasn't just the Arab community. There are plenty of morons who think they're enlightened third party voters that also played into Trump's hands.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Your comment is just thinly-veiled racism. Next time, just say you blame american fascism on american Muslims.

You WISH it was just your fault

And now that you are reaping, you're lashing out. In textbook liberal fashion, you're scapegoating minorities as fascism starts to come knocking.

I AM a minority. One the Palestinians and Muslims in general dont actually like as it happens.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Good job tools!

[–] SonOfMothman@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Everyone that voted “uncommitted” just flattened Gaza.. hood job voting for genocide you dumb fucks. You deserve this

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

And helped get back in power a moron who got over 1M Americans killed with COVID.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

"Muh genocide joe"

votes for genocide by abstaining

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 1 year ago

Wasn't there a song about this in the 90s?

Pave Plaestine to put up a parking lot?

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

You don't get to have a "perfect" candidate. Most of the time, your choices are between which choice you dislike the least. And when the choices are between Harris and another 4 years of Donald farking Trump . . . well holy jumping shitballs . . . that should have been the easiest choice in the world.

Fark EVERYONE who made this possible. And enjoy your precious little "protest vote" Dems. This is your fault, too.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, at least Palestine won’t be a stumbling block next election. 1 state solution it is I guess, sigh

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social -1 points 1 year ago

Trump is going to have/help Israel just erase Gaza and the Palestinians as a people, there will be no need for any "solution". And this is apparently what all these people sitting out wanted in the end. Hope they enjoy the view from their high horse.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Utterly bizarre. I expected Trump might squeak out an electoral win, but the popular vote as well? Thanks everyone who stayed the fuck home. You sat by as fascism was ushered in to the US.
