Here are my thoughts:

• Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since day 1, they just pick up the pace sometimes
• Every US president this century has enabled this
• Biden and Harris were all on board with the current round of fast genocide and they should be remembered for it
• Trump pretends to be anti-war but emboldened this shit by moving the US embassy to Jerusalem in 2018 or 19
• Netanyahu wanted Trump to win, as evidenced by meeting him during the campaign last year
• Any ceasefire supposedly happening right now is entirely to give Trump good press. He's going to give Israel even more support for their imperialist bullshit than Biden did and Harris would have
• Because Trump won, the federal government is going after immigrants, nonwhite people, LGBT people, etc, and is going to further tear the good parts of the government down

I'm pretty disillusioned with the Democrats between the imperialism and almost completely giving in to the fascist takeover, but I wouldn't be looking to get out of the country if Harris had won, so thanks for that if you could have voted and didn't.

Don't worry, I voted... for the non-genocidal actual progressive candidate, Jill Stein.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Trump thanks you for your service.

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

No, he thanks you & Kamala. Are you pleased with yourself & how things turned out?

[astral_avocado@lemm.ee]

You mean the Russian plant?

[panarab@lemm.ee]

This is actually antisemitic. Accuse the one Jewish candidate of being a foreign agent.

[misterscruffy@lemmy.ml]

Better than a CUFI/AIPAC owned candidate

[wanderer@lemm.ee]

Honestly. And I mean honestly.

Why is America so be bed with Israel? Is it just purely a tactical location or is there way more underhand shit we can't talk about because if you call someone out for doing something they shouldn't and they are Jewish then you're a Nazi?

People must be getting bribes and threats and more people in the government must care about Israel than the number of people that care about Palestinian.

Surely people don't care that much about that patch of sand.

[synopsistantilize@lemm.ee]

Are you asking why they are in bed with Israel?
It's our window into directly destabilizing the middle east.

[toadofhypnosis@lemmy.ml]

AIPAC Lobby money. America is very corrupt.

[toadofhypnosis@lemmy.ml]

Exactly. Why can’t people vote for the lesser evil in the short term and push for change after the election too. There was no scenario where the protest vote didn’t give us a far worse option. As bad as Biden was on Gaza, he capitulated more than Trump ever will. Plus, one issue voting is just an insane mindset in a winner take all electoral system like America.

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

You saved palestine!

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

Hey, if you can sign off on a genocide based on who's holding a political office dont let us propagandized westerners stop you.

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

I have the most unique tags for you.

[recreationalcatheter@lemm.ee]

They love genocide, don't let their sealioning fool you. They don't want a discussion because they'd have to praise terrorists to make a point. All they can do is shift blame to unrelated governments.

Real talk: This is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

I respected the vote of the Palestinian people. Do you respect them & who they voted for?

[drthunder@midwest.social]

I saw a take a few months ago that voting third party isn't voting your conscience, voting your conscience is going against what you really want to do, to do what will actually result in the least harm happening. Our system of government is absolute trash but until it changes (and we should all be pushing for it to change) this is what we've got.

[flashmobofone@lemmy.world]

almost completely giving in to the fascist takeover

Did you see the pictures of Kamala and Mike Johnson smiling as they watched the vote count on January 6?

[flashmobofone@lemmy.world]

Why can’t people vote for the lesser evil in the short term and push for change after the election too.

They did that in 2020 and the lesser evil told them to go fuck themselves, policy-wise.
