I feel like he’s just doing shit to see how far he can get away with at this point. Or maybe this is ten dementia talking it’s insane

Not voting for him is one thing, but also being eligible to vote and not voting for Kamala makes one an accomplice too. Even voting for a third party doesn't count, because that took away votes that could have gone towards the one contender.

And here the mask comes off as you make yourself indistinguishable from every other Trump supporter.

You had to listen to "GeNoCide JoE"???? That's sooo sad.

I had to listen to my wife crying because her friends were getting bombed. That's why everybody hates americans. These fucks don't really think of foreigners as human. Genocide is a mild annoyance for them.

You can quit explaining how your election work, idiot. We all know. The difference between you and us is that you just accept it like a simp. Which is pretty much literally criminal in my book.

Lol, your username's initials are ASS

Good point. Have a nice evening!

Focused on what? There's virtually zero resistance from the democrats to every new thing that emerges.

Ratio says otherwise. You are getting hammered with downvotes because you can't grasp the simple concept that I put forward.

It is difficult to vote for a party that has done nothing in over 1 year of active genocidal acts. Kamala and the Dems should have had the common decency to fight what Israel was doing, rather than appease, defend and provide further weaponry, money and legitimacy. They lost this election by themselves, and while the Palestinians in Gaza are likely to suffer more in the months to come, it is not because voters didn't vote for Trump's opposition. The Democratic Party was weak, the campaign was weak, the candidate was weak, and their vision was weak. Stop blaming voters and start working to fix the real issue at hand. We need a better Democratic Party.

still way less difficult holding your nose and voting than overthrowing fascism later

though being one vote away from it to begin with, the cracks were fairly large

If you voted for Harris you're not the person being talked to, are you? They asked why people were mad at those that voted third party.
Why would I be mad at people who voted for Harris?

I don't buy the whole "you're not allowed to be mad at the voters!” thing. They had the same information I did, and decided that instead of saying "gee, the easiest thing I can do to in anyway stop the obvious bad things that could happen is to vote against trump" they did some form of "not that".

If it's a choice between the zoo and the crotch kicking factory, and three vote for the zoo, four for the crotch kicking, and three more couldn't be bothered to vote, *I'm gonna be mad at the people who voted for the crotch kicking as well as the people who didn't vote", and I'm gonna be frustrated when they say it's the zoo's fault for not advertising more and we need to move on and hold hands through the kicking.

i guess you'll never understand tactical voting

coming to the conclusion that i'm a trump supporter tells me everything about your ability

Was plan B sitting on your hands?

Sure, but the overwhelming majority of people on here voted for Harris even if they really didn't want to and continuing to bitch and moan about everyone that didn't, the overwhelming majority of which aren't even on Lemmy isn't doing anything useful.

There seems to be this group on here that's very black and white. During the election you weren't allowed to say anything negative about Harris or complain about first Biden and then Harris supporting Israel or you were called a Trump supporter. Nothing short of declaring her the most perfect candidate ever satisfied them. It was fucking stupid of her to endorse Biden's already losing platform including his support of Israel and that cost her the election. Saying it was going to cost her the election shouldn't have been a controversial thing but to some on here it was.

It was already exhausting when it was going on during the election and it's even more exhausting now. Harris literally doesn't matter anymore. Whether she would have been better for Gaza or not is an entirely academic question at this point unless you've got a time machine (and if you do go back and convince George Washington that first past the post voting is an idiotic idea).

I just want to see discussion about what can be done to oppose Trump and help in some way Palestine, but instead it's a non-stop parade of comments about how anyone who complained about Harris supporting Israel is terrible and this is all their fault.

As for your analogy, it's more like the choice was between the crotch kicking factory and the anal raped without lube factory and a bunch of people complained that if they insist on being the crotch kicking factory nobody is going to want to go there. So 3 people voted for the crotch kicking factory, 4 voted for anal rape, 2 voted for the zoo, and 3 people stayed home. Then everyone who voted for the crotch kicking factory got angry and said it's the fault of the people who voted for the zoo that anal rape won.

I'm just as frustrated that Trump won, but what I'm not is surprised. Disappointed absolutely, but not surprised. The Democrats have been failing this country for decades. People are only going to keep voting for the lesser evil that sees things getting slightly worse election after election for so long before they start thinking there's no point.

If you really want to apportion blame for this mess the most to blame is first Trump, then the GOP, then Trump voters, then the DNC, then Harris, then 3rd party and non-voters. The DNC needed to realize decades ago that it doesn't matter how many big corporate cheques they cash when the policies they're adopting are turning away voters that they desperately need. Harris should have looked at the train wreck of Biden's campaign and realized she needed to do something different. Third party voters needed to understand that with first past the post you don't get to vote for the candidate you want, you have to vote against the candidate you don't want.

Ooh, "I'm popular so I'm right". Yep, you have a major problem with logic.

Yeah, but on the other side there are people who don't like it feel powerless. And maybe Americans are divided, and it's was used to install a dictator.

This is colonialism, plain and simple
