Lol, no, I'm certainly not. I do what I can within my limited means although I'm sure I could do more. Sadly, just by virtue of voting, I've done more than the majority of my countrymen but I certainly am no paragon of virtue.
I am a realist though. Realistically the Palestinian people would have been better off, or at the least not worse off, with a Harris administration at the helm.
Regardless, the diplomacy would have been carried out by the statesmen in the background if she was in office or Trump - Trump just comes with massive baggage.
"Realistically I had no choice but to be a morally bankrupt coward" lol fuck off
Geez, calling me a morally bankrupt coward is just a tad bit mean, don't ya know? Also doesn't really address the actual real world we're in where we are voting on an office which is making decisions that go far beyond only the tiny part of the world that is Israel/Palestine.
Like I don't know how naive and narrow minded one has to be to think a world with Trump in charge of the USA is better than the alternative.
Like, obviously, if I could waive a magic wand I'd change a whole fuckpile of stuff about our government and our system of living as a whole. Unfortunately, presumably, much like yourself, I'm not magic.
A lot of our friends here have only a mass-media understanding of American politics. And given that mass media is utterly terrible, it’s . . . a crooked understanding.
I don't owe civility to anyone making excuses for the fucking democrats, nothing about the "real world" requires you to accept their complicity in genocide you decided to do that shit on your own
Lol you're such a silly goose.
You stand for absolutely nothing, you deserve Trump and worse
I hope your day/life gets better, you seem very upset.
Lol fuck your fake ass high road act
Yeah man, you don't seem upset at all
Not me. Someone that fucking toxic deserves the torture their head gives them.
Nah, I think a lot of people genuinely just also concern troll and are fake mad. Besides this is the internet, I don't put much stock in what strangers on Lemmy have to say.
At the end of the day it isn't worth worrying over or getting actually upset IRL because some dude has a bad take.
I mean also low-key fuck that person but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's basically what I'm saying. Fuck that person but I won't put emotional effort into it.
Lol @ accusations of toxicity from people still caping for the fucking democrats
Way to prove my point
You don't have a point, you have projection and deflection
Enjoy the next 3 years of Trump... you did this.
Democrats did more to put Trump in power than every protest & third party voter combined, and you're still making excuses for them because you're a spineless moron
