    All the people who were screeching to abandon Harris because of Gaza seem awfully quiet now

      I mean what’s there to say? Yeah we know Trump fucking sucks what do you want them to do? There’s barely anything to say when he hasn’t done anything ywt.

        He already said he’s giving Israel a blank cheque. Not sure how that’s “nothing”

          Okay that’s fair I didn’t know that, but still the only thing that can be said about that is “Trump bad”, which we all already know.

      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.

        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.

          I sort of get it. I voted Stein in 2016 because I don’t like how the DNC handled Bernie. But i was willing to accept 4-8 years under a Republican being a potential outcome. (Not like we can’t vote them out if things get real bad … right? RIGHT?

          Accepting the utter destruction of Gaza as a potential outcome in order to protest the destruction of Gaza is not something I can really grasp.

            “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.

      Well it’s not like Biden/Harris actually tried for a ceasefire. There’s really not much change other than the quiet part being said out loud.

        Not much change yet… like I said in another thread, let’s just save this comment and revisit it in 2025, shall we?

          The escalations we’re going to see over the coming months were going to happen with a Republican as President or Democrat. The past 13 months has shown Israel can get away with virtually whatever they want. They were never intending on stopping regardless of the outcome of the election.

      Nah, they’re clamoring for Biden to hurry up and stop shipment of arms to Israel and get the ceasefire some before Trump gets into office. Too little to late guys, Israel won’t care, won’t do shit now that they know trump won.

        We’ve been clamoring for it since Biden first bypassed congress to directly send them weapons and money after October.

        Israel has never cared so far and gotten away with everything, so nothing has changed there.

          You just keep thinking that both sides are bad even when one party, despite its flaws, tried to push for peace and the other side publicly expressed genocide is the preferred solution.

          Good luck on the upcoming year in affecting change!

        That and Israel doesn’t NEED our weapons to keep doing what they’re doing, they never have.

        Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran and does nothing to stop the genocide.

      It was all too predictable.

      Donvict is in the pocket of the magaforbrainz that think Jews have to be in Israel to bring about the sick fantasy from their book club. Even if he doesn’t actually believe in xtianity at all…
