"Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East"
How the FUCK would you hope for that? Have you been living under a rock and didn't know who Trump actually is and what he does? The Muslim ban Trump? That Trump? Bringing peace to the Middle East? Seriously?
The American electorate is stunningly stupid and disconnected from reality. Look up some of the trending Google searches on election day, they're stupider than you think
Yes: the guy who banned Muslims from entering the US on his previous term will end the war and bring peace to the Middle East.
monkey’s paw curls
palestinians are thoroughly genocided and Gaza + West Bank + other lebensraum in the area have all structures reduced to grade #7 gravel
That is also technically peace, in that there is no more fighting. It’s just a really bad one.
Truly, the gullibility of some people simply beggars belief.
Yeah, his vision of peace was Israel getting rid of anyone who they don't have good relationship with.
Wait wait, I remember a guy who was constantly arguing and berating everyone about how Biden was just the worst Satan reincarnation or some shit and how we all needed to band together against both him and Harris. Oooh @HomerianSymphony , you still around, bud?
We'd like an interview.
They were probably just astroturfing, and now that they've successfully completed their objective, they've got no reason to stick around.
I still see a handful of the useful idiots that were on here paroting those talking points, and I have to wonder if they've been able to accept that they were sold a bill of goods.
I have to wonder if they've been able to accept that they were sold a bill of goods.
They were the bill of goods. They were a line item on the Trump campaign budget. Their temp job is over so they're not posting.
I voted for Harris. I voted for Biden. I voted for Clinton.
I still wouldn't warn a single one of them if they were about to get hit by a bus.
Its harm reduction. They don't solve anything. They just keep us treading water sinking slowly whereas Republicans start taking a hammer to the hull to open up new holes.
Harm reduction is bad?
Obviously, it's not ideal, but one has to act according to the real life conditions... And in 2024, our only two options were "harm reduction," and literal fascism with literal concentration camps.
Fuck you if you didn't choose harm reduction.
To be fair to them, we're just delaying collapse. It is a choice.
I agree with them that there's no saving this constitutional structure. In one sense it's cowardly, because there's no escape from this capitalist slaughterhouse hellscape without collapse. Collapse is necessary. Trump will certainly usher that in faster.
But Im too much of a softy to let the blood that always has to spill be on my hands.
This country was irreparable since Reagan, a zombie nation oligarch piggie bank. My vote was a cowardly one for a few more years of quiet orderly slaughter, NOT peace.
But we lost, so the slaughter will be loud and bigger than it's ever been, so maybe it's time for revolution if we want our kids to have anything left.
Because in 4 years the DNC WILL anoint someone to meet Trump's economy in the middle, and even I may not be able to stomach voting for that.
If you're only voting for harm reduction year after year and doing nothing to try and organize grassroots opposition to the lesser evil, yes constantly voting harm reduction is bad. It's how you allow lesser evils to grow into the larger evils of the current DNC, who care more about fundraising than winning.
I voted for Harris. I voted for Biden. I voted for Clinton.
I still wouldn’t warn a single one of them if they were about to get hit by a bus.
American Democracy in a nutshell. You get two choices, they're both awful for different reasons. One of them wants to see you executed for your religious beliefs/sexual preferences/nation of origin. The other is continent to sell bunker buster bombs to some raving psychotic mass murderers overseas. Nobody is going to do shit about climate change, though, so we're all on the clock in the long run.
Its harm reduction.
It increasingly feels like the closest thing to harm reduction the US achieved was the time Trump fucked up his COVID response and a bunch of his senior leadership choked to death on their own lung fluid.
I have zero sympathy for those who only regret their vote for Trump now that his policies - which were always obvious - come back to haunt them personally.
“Abandon Harris” movement, you mean half of Lemmy? Where are you clowns now?
I see them everywhere still. Since she did lose, sounds like they were right about Kamala being a bad candidate.
Why are you guys still putting your head in the sand and determined to blame people on Lemmy, which is an extremely niche community, for the election results instead of helping boost the voices calling for the Democrats to give you guys better candidates.
You had 4 years to make a change, but you guys would rather just blame people that wants actual improvements and still doing so after you lost the election despite getting the candidate that you supported. It's really funny to watch.
Bryarr Misner, who worked as a campaign manager for the Abandon Harris campaign in Pittsburgh, admitted they voted for Trump, with NBC reporting, "He said the point of the Abandon Harris campaign was to punish the Democrats for supporting Israel during its war in Gaza, which the campaigners view as a genocide, and he hopes the Trump campaign will be more willing to negotiate with group leaders."
This is a person that was only ever going to vote for trump. Dipshits up and down.
I mean Trump said what he has to say about Gaza. He supports Israel. This was before the election too. They have no excuse.
I would really love to be in the room with these idiots the moment they hear that Trump has signed the law that will arm Israel to the teeth and sanction them to exterminate every Muslim in Gaza. I want to see the terror and regret in their faces. Because this is what they have wrought.
But Kamala Harris had Liz Cheney on stage with her that one time!!!!!!^/s^
Honestly that's a whole other problem. The Democrats need to fucking stop courting the "moderate conservatives". Those fucks will N E V E R vote for a Democrat over a Republican. No matter how godawful they are.
voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East
what
I guess you could argue that total eradication of anyone that Israel hates will bring peace so they were sorta right
Many in the movement, including prominent Muslim leaders, voted for Trump hoping he would bring peace to the Middle East.
Dipshits
I voted for the Westboro Baptist church because I'm a transwoman dating a cisman and I imagine that putting them in a position of power over me can only go well. /s
No no no,they saved Palestine, remember?
Now that the Dems aren't in control all those Palestinians are perfectly safe.
Right, tankies? That's all you were screeching about back in November. Now it's cricket chirps, like Palestine even mattered to you lot. Disgusting.
Way to go assholes. You fucked around and now we all get to find out.
The leopards are looking mighty hungry.
Well, this is all very fucking stupid. WHAT THE FUCK did they think was going to be the outcome? Did they really think donvict was going to be better here?
Leopard, meet face.
🐆🍽👨🏻🦲
Unfortunately it boiled down to selecting the lesser of the two evils and the Abandon Harris clowns chose the neo-Nazi MAGAts which will send, for free, a nice assortment of 155 mm artillery shells to Israel.. From my point of view, zero sympathy for your FAFO.
How could anyone have seen this coming.
We fucking told you so.
Alt Timeline: "French Revolutionaires doesn't believe their leadership is good enough, supports the Monarchy instead" 🤡
Trump doesn’t negotiate. He’s a tyrant. They’re in for a world of hurt and punished a lot of innocent people with their votes.
How could they have been that stupid as not to expect this??!
Well, after four years of Trump we aren’t going to have to concern ourselves with Palestine, because it’s going to be “more Israel”. Thanks to these dumbasses. The leopards will be obese crime feasting.
An evolutionary marvel: the human without brain
Fucking dipshit.
Congrats on getting exactly what you deserve.
