    Gosh but I heard that all genocide is equal and Biden is literally the devil. Do you mean that having a meaningful impact on whether Palestinians live or die was worth swallowing my pride and voting for Harris? But isn’t my ideal that no Palestinian should die more important than actually saving the lives of Palestinians?

    /s I absolutely can’t fucking stand people who were unable to realize that less harm would, in fact, be less harmful.

      You say “unable to realize”, I say “intentionally pushed a false narrative to increase voter apathy”.

      Especially since many of them refused to engage any discussion on how much worse Trump would be.

        It’s a combination of both. Lots of useful idiots. Just see that thing AOC did to find out why people would split the vote with her and Trump.

        People in this country are straight up dangerously stupid.

      I have a feeling a lot of them were not American. The bot farms are quiet now because they got what they wanted.

        Too bad the actual fascist Americans who elected Trump are still with you. It’s always someone else’s fault not America’s.

          Or they are just quiet because they realize they’ve placed Gaza into the hands of Netanyahu’s allies in the US and there’s literally no way to defend this outcome.

          “They” didn’t. All of America did. I still don’t understand how anyone thinks Gaza had anything with Harris’s loss. I very much doubt the 10 million non/protest voters all didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza, or that there are even 10 million people in the US that care about Gaza enough to accept another Trump term.

            Not attempting to assign blame. But we all have to live with the reality of our choices now.

            I hope that makes you feel better when Rubio gives up all pretense of even wanting a ceasefire.
