    Because so many people in the United States have elected to stab themselves - and EVERYONE else along with them - with a rusty knife, out of ignorant rage and lazy ignorance.

    Don’t forget South Korea. Do you really think America will be on their side this time around with Dump and Kim being kissing friends?

      After trump impliments the worst of p2025 then his usefulness will end and the GOP will “save us from Trump’s extreme position” with the 25th amendment and install Vance to oversee the infrastructure trump put in place.

      It will fool the retarded American public, and they will praise the GOP for protecting them from the unforeseeable actions of trump being the next Hitler and ignore the fact Vance isn’t removing what trump did…

    The most annoying thing over the next few years is going to be listening to:

    “What happened to my helthcare?” "You voted for Trump who promised to take it away. " “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

    “Why are the prices of groceries so high?” “You voted for Trump who promised to deport all the illegal farm workers who picked your food for low wages.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

    “Why did my daughter/wife/girlfriend/mother die in a hospital parking lot?” “You voted for Trump who promised to make life saving healthcare for women illegal nation wide.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

    “What happened to the minimum wage?” “You voted for Trump who promised to lower it.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

    “What happened to the Palestinians?” “You voted for Trump/voted for a third party candidate which allowed Trump to rise to power then he gave Netanyahu the go ahead to wipe them out.” “But I didn’t think that would happen to my family!”

    Suck it up. This is your bed. You shat it in. Now lie there and be quiet. We’re tired of your bullshit.

      This may be misremembering, but I thought I once heard of some people in Taiwan (a small, but vocal, number) liked Trump because of his “China Bad” rhetoric.

      It’s not quite as spicy from my side of the world (Australia), but I really do not like the idea of our closest military ally being controlled by a fascist.

      Just seems like risky business, ya know?

    Palestinians were very much already in danger. Both sides in america are so tied to Israel that biden refused to stand up to bibi even while he was openly campaigning for trump

      Simple reality is there’s twice as many Jewish voters than muslim voters, and Jewish voters are more likely to vote Democrat. So ironically the best thing Biden could’ve done for Palestine was to not piss off the Israel crowd and cause Trump’s election.

      But maybe he’ll stand up now that the election is over. Time to cut off the weapons. Long time coming. Make Trump reinstate weapons for Israel and see how that goes for him. You Palestine people need to push 10x as hard now as you did before the election. Something tells me you won’t.

        The push will be harder now because dems and libs will suddenly realize it’s an atrocity the instant trump gets in office. They’ll flip from telling pro Palestine people to shut up to yelling the same things we’ve been yelling for a year but at trump because the person in power finally won’t be on their team so they finally will allow for criticism of the president.

      It’s the difference between being in a burning building and being the same burning building while people throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows.

      Both are dangerous but one is worse.

        In this case if you pick just the burning building then the group keeping you in that building are saying “we can’t let you out of there but you better support us or the guys with the molotovs will show up”

        I understand that logically you’d pick option A but would you have enthusiastic support for the people keeping you trapped in the building?

        Candidates have to get people motivated to vote and “we won’t do better but the other guy will do worse” is not motivating enough. We saw how that plays out yesterday

    No, I’m sorry, I just don’t think Kamala is making Gaza the number one issue, which is why I think the only reasonable choice is to either not vote, or vote Stein.

    edit: I cannot believe I have to add /s

    Literally every fucking election they pull this same shit, and every fucking election WE FALL FOR IT LIKE MORONS!!!

    The morons on the other side fall for “Trump is obviously a good Christian!”, but we fall for this which is almost as transparent as “Hey, look over there!”

    Do you guys seriously believe everything would be fine if he didn’t win?

    The world was as fucked yesterday as it is today. You just didn’t see it on the news. Does it matter if the civilization ends a week earlier?

      We fear it will be a decade or more earlier. We fear the difference between my children having a habitable environment and my children having to deal with ever increasing climate disasters. We fear losing human rights, consumer protection, any semblance of a safety net. We fear increasing polarity in what is already an untenable situation. We fear descending into chaos and tyranny, and taking parts of the world with us.
