In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

What happened in Gaza is a taste of what the undesirables in America are going to face. Especially Israel’s AI targeting tech.

That’s what democrat supporters don’t understand. We can’t accept genocide anywhere, not just for moral and ethical reasons but because genocide will come for us too.

If you're in the US and voted anything but Democrat, or didn't vote at all, then this is your fucking fault.

Fuck the democrats, fuck Kamala. They suck. But look what your rigid morality has made.

All Harris had to do was stand for Palestine, or even something basic like healthcare for all. She would have won and it wouldnt have even been close. But she didnt. You had an extremely unpopular neoliberal that you thought was going to beat Trump?

Was it worth it to throw the election because of zero progressive policy?

You are hallucinating. Harris is a woman and she's black. The racist misogynist US will not elect a woman as POTUS in the years I've got left. Much less a black woman. I saw an interview with some 2020 Biden voters from Philly. When asked if they were going to vote for Harris, they all said something along the lines of "No, it's too much power to give a woman.". They'd rather have a treasonous felon as POTUS than a competent and comparatively honest woman. It's morally laudable that the Dems will run minority candidates, but in these racist misogynistic United States, it's a guaranteed loss.

Yeah the racism here is beyond fucked, and agree was also another reason she lost. How am I hallucinating? If she stood for anything I said she could have really won. You cant be that unpopular and stand for nothing and expect to win.

If she stood for anything? How about if you read what she wanted to do, you’d not say something so stupid. Granted, it was damn near impossible to find what she wanted to do by the mass media.
