So glad the current guys got in! How's that going for ya btw? That genocide stop? No? It's accelerating? So glad more children can die so you can still confidently hold your nose in the air.

I hate the current guy even more. It seriously bothers me that the dems lost to him because they thought genocide was more important then you and me. I really wish they would have ran a proper platform, so we didnt have to vote for democracy and genocide at the same time, and still lose.

Keep blaming everyone but them and maybe we can have the same circus next election too. We all just have to come together and accept genocide, apathy and status quo like maybe three or four more times.

We will remember the devil's bargain we were forced to answer, so will the rest of the world.

This is a watershed moment in world history.

next election too

next election? there won't be an election next time, democracy is dead and you killed it.

good job on the protest vote, now that you have defeated the "status quo" gaza will be a luxurious hotel with golf courses instead, so much better, right?

do us a favor and go back to your tankie echo chambers / your right wing troll friends, depending on what you actually are

[-] piefood@feddit.online 28 points 2 days ago

No, the Democrats killed it when they handed our democracy over to a facist on a silver platter. Rememer that they did this because they valued genocide and corporate donations more than they cared about beating trump.

"It's all your fault for not doing what I wanted."

[-] PyroNeurosis 7 points 1 day ago

Buddy, I'd be careful throwing those stones when your argument boils down to "It's all your fault for not voting how I wanted."

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

“It’s all your fault for not voting how I wanted.”

Well, that would have kept an actual fucking fascist out of office, sooooooooo.......

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Keep blaming everyone but them

I'm going to keep blaming stupid Americans because that's where the fault primarily lies.

Oh no, a political party didn't run a picture perfect campaign against a felon rapist's racist fascist campaign. Guess that means we have to let the felon rapist win.

Do you know how many less fucks I give about 2 countries on the other side of the planet continuing an everlasting religious conflict compared to creeping fascism in my own fucking country?

American voters couldn't see the forest for the trees, because they're stupid. So now we sit squarely in the stupidest timeline.

Oh no, a political party *threw a presidential campaign rather than win and risk acknowledging the humanity of Palestinians.

FTFY

[-] piefood@feddit.online 20 points 2 days ago

Wait, you mean the thing that we told the Dems would happen, happened? Crazy, who could have seen that coming? It's almost like we wanted them to be a party of decency, so we could tell people to vote for them without having to defend the killing of children.

Maybe next time, the Dems should put up a candidate people want to vote for, instead of shaming people for being against Genocide.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 days ago

So glad that you held the country, and especially vulnerable populations like LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, immigrants, and disabled people, not to mention the Palestinian and Ukrainian people, hostage while demanding that Dems do things that have zero historical evidence of them agreeing to. I can't speak for all of us but, I bet the others are also glad that you were able to keep your moral high-ground and didn't feel at all betrayed and upset about it. /s

[-] piefood@feddit.online 11 points 2 days ago

I always find it fascinating that people get mad at those that couldn't stomach genocide, rather than getting mad at the people with the power, the money and the platform who chose genocide and money over fighting fascism. We kept telling the Democrats that their position was unpopular, they told us to sit down and shut up. Maybe the Democrats should play seriously next time.

Do you get mad at a mountain lion for killing an elk? Or ivy for strangling a tree? It's just what they do. Same with the corrupt elite and bourgeoisie. They're corrupt and feed their own selfish desires because they are fundamentally broken, antisocial people. When one claims to be an ally but refuses to act like one in the most important and meaningful ways, it feels like betrayal and that hits differently than known malignancies acting malicious.

Hey kid, know what's worse than genocide on the other side of the planet?

Fascism at home!!!

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Maybe you fucking learned something.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Welcome to reality, and adulthood, where, more often than not, you are working to mitigate shitty situations to get the least destructive outcome possible.

Americans failed to do so, because they chose to squabble over a party not being perfect while a felon rapist and his enabling party of fascists took complete control.

Maybe next time (if there is one) we can cry again about the party that's provably better for average Americans while we descend further into fascism. That'll make things better.

[-] piefood@feddit.online 5 points 1 day ago

...chose to squabble over a party not being perfect...

Looking at the party for the last few years, I see: Choosing a rapist, child-killing, genocide supporter as the candidate. Gaslighting everyone on the cognitive abilities of said candidate. Continuously screwing over the working class. Gaslighting everyone on the state of the economy. Bailing out their rich friends, while telling the poor and homeless that they need to suck it up. Propping up the fascist that beat them as their opponent. Bombing innocent people. Saying that they would be harder on immigrants than the fascist. Helping build a stupid border wall. Increasing funding to violent assholes that attack the working class. Picking unpopular candidates and running on right-wing values.

I feel like that is a far cry from "not being perfect"

Maybe next time

yeah sure there's gonna be a next time... keep hoping, buddy

[-] piefood@feddit.online 11 points 2 days ago

Well, I'm not sure if theres gonna be a next time or not. I assume Trump is gonna fight his damndest to make sure there isn't another vote. If there is another vote, I assume it's gonna be Trump, and a highly unpopular Democrat because they still can't be bothered to give a shit about fighting fascism.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

because they still can’t be bothered to give a shit about fighting fascism.

Lol. They ran a campaign repeatedly explaining the dangers of another Trump presidency to the American people. But Americans were too concerned about a conflict on the other side of the planet to care about fascism at home.

The other comments are right. Your brain is broken.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Repeat after me: Israel is committing a genocide.

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago

Yes they are.

As is Russia, half a dozen countries, and oh we stopped funding the who and usaid.

So we're now aiding multiple genocides.

MISSION fucking ACCOMPLISHED.

I wish I read this earlier, but it feels refreshing to read even if I'm a few hours late.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah, fucking duh! I'm not arguing that brain child.
