Makes a whole bunch of sense when you consider a lot of America still just can't accept the idea of a woman as president, and they'll use any excuse they can to make themselves feel better about the misogyny.

Kamala lost because she was running on a Campaign of Joy™️

The only way to win a campaign is to garner more rage than your opponent. Nixon's campaign manager put it well- "The secret to politics is to know who hates who". That's how they flipped the then deep blue south into a Republican stronghold for 60 years.

Frankly I think this is why we are doomed to civil war, candidates that try to calm things down will always lose to candidates who fan the flames.

You are completely proving their point. Do you really think the level of support Israel receives from Trump is the same as what it would have been with Kamala? Do you think Bibi would be in her office telling her how great their relationship is and give her a golden pager?

Do you think Israel would have acted just as brazenly in its escalations and direct attacks on Iran?

There is no question she wouldn't have done enough to stop Israeli crimes, but no way in hell would it be equal to or worse than Trump. Even considering them on the same level makes you sound like a psyop.

So, they refused to support genocide (a position, to be clear, that I agree with) by taking an action (voting third party) or inaction (not voting) that would clearly, and obviously, give a candidate who supported genocide a higher probability of not just winning, but being supported by others with the same opinion?

Voters were put in an invidious position and there were no good options, but there was one option that was clearly worse in every way, and they either directly or indirectly chose to support him.

Yeah it’s bullshit. I voted third party because dems decided Israel is worth supporting. But let’s be mathematically accurate here.

Even if all the people who DID vote that did not vote republican had voted for the democrat, there would not have been enough electoral college influence to affect the outcome.

You would have needed more non-voters to vote. But a non-voter then was probably a never-voter. There are people that exist who simply don’t care one way or the other who is in charge and you can’t convince those people to go vote. Sure you can try, but in the end it’s the people who did vote who get what they voted for.

Regardless of all of that I find the “you should have voted democrat” argument to be exceptionally stupid. The democrat party is backing a government that I find to be morally reprehensible, as do most Americans, what should have happened is those who were saying “yeah it’s bad but I’m still gonna vote dem” should have just voted for a third party. Why vote against your interests?

Yes it indeed is. When Biden left office a large portion of Gaza had already been destroyed. Trump "empowered" Israel to show how bad they want to genocide the Palestinians for real and people wake up.

Before the political powers of the U.S. help the Palestinians hell will freeze over. At best the U.S. has been a force of status quo (Apartheid and Opression). At worst they have fed the ethnical cleansing.

The politicians are NOT our allies. The people on the streets need to put pressure on them until they are willing to enact change AGAINST their own interest because there simply is no out.

It is long overdue to get your asses up from the screen and into the real world like these protesters do. You simply have not grasp on the situation that you think you have, maybe even talk to an activist. Just maybe.

If you lose to Donald Fucking Trump, you should be too ashamed to show your face in public.
