US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a "pretty big concession" to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the "whole country."

Maybe half of you shouldn't of stayed home to 'punish Kamala'?

People who didn't vote are just as guilty as those who voted for Trump.

Especially the ones who refused to vote for her on the basis of the genocide in Palestine as if Trump wasn't just as bad or worse in supporting Israel and as if the American establishment hadn't always supported Israel. That idea that somehow not voting for her in that election would improve a single thing about that genocide was so stupid.

I was saying as if everyone before Biden was also supporting Israel, somehow Israel became such big news around election year

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

It doesn't really matter if Israel became news, the only thing relevant to the election should have been if voting Harris, Trump or not voting was likely to have different outcomes for the topic of the genocide and there was no reason to believe that there was a chance of that.

Girl you’re preaching to the goddamn choir here. I’m so fucking sick of saying “I fucking told you so, dipshit” to so many people. I’m so, so tired.

Okay I’ll take the bait. Thought we’re done with this bullshit discussion.

Maybe Kamala should have given a fuck about Palestinians. Why do you leave out the part where she showed the middle finger to her own voters whenever she could, same as Biden? People have been telling the dems for a year to support Palestine or lose their vote, but the dems were willing to lose the election over Palestine and they did. The democrats betrayed their voters, not the other way around.

I guess those voters gave no fucks about either Palestinians or Ukrainians, considering both of those genocides have gotten worse under Trump.

Nice deflection. Classic "blame the voter" propaganda. You're using a false dilemma to avoid addressing the actual issue: Dems actively funded and supported the genocide despite massive protests from their base.

Trump being bad doesn't absolve Harris/Dems of responsibility for their own actions. Democratic leadership chose genocide over winning. They gambled that voters had no choice but to vote for them anyway. They lost that bet.

And with this I’m out, no time for blue MAGA.

Democratic leadership chose genocide over winning.

The Democrats do not, and have never supported genocide.

Funny, because the Republican party enthusiastically endorses genocide at home and abroad and apparently that is not worth any outcry or opposition according to you.

And with this I’m out, no time for blue MAGA.

MAGA cosplaying as a 'concerned' Democrat.
