Those people are responsible for the next administration (republicans) killing everyone in Gaza and Lebanon. And they just voted to fuck Taiwan & Hong Kong. You voted for death, congratulations.

Taiwan & Hong Kong

And Ukraine

plus females, LGBTQ+ and every child that dies from a childhood disease in the USA.

And atheists, Muslims, Jews, any non Christians really.

Americans forgot about Ukraine long ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Not true, I just left it out as an oversight. Слава Україні!

You rolled over on your back and told the dems you'd vote for them no matter what while they were actively funding a genocide. It's on you

Watch trump help netanyahu destroy gaza.

Perhaps saying that the Palestinians are all going to die either way wasn't exactly a strong rallying call.

I've been watching Biden do it for a year, do you sincerely believe kamala would've stopped it? I don't think you do

Both the Republican and Democrat candidate were and are in favor of violence in various places around the globe. Either person was a vote for death.

Actually, it's very hard not to vote for death, because when you have wars that other people are fighting in other countries, you can't just snap your fingers and have the death magically disappear. It just doesn't work that way. That's not to say that the president has no power, but the president certainly doesn't have the power to guarantee that the death stops now.

Now if you want to make a statistical argument that Trump is likely to lead to more death than Harris, go for it. And maybe you can do a good job with that, but you're starting off by trying to argue about speculative future death compared with actual past death. If you're into statistics, I highly encourage you to crunch the numbers and then post your data here.

They're all gonna evaporate into nothing. In fact they've already started to go. Some other pressing Internet topic will be the next topic du jour in the Moscow time zone.

You're talking into the wind.

Ending international support for Ukraine is still a priority, so keep an eye on any issues related to Europe and movements that opposed Russia's expansionist policies.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean it will probably begin with Trump halting us military aid to Ukraine and then immediately and forcibly setting up a trade route to purchase Russian natural resources at a dollar for a dime. And gas prices will drop in the US for a bit. And all Trump supporters, will go “see.” Because they are incredibly myopic and selfish. And then Trump will quickly drop out of nato because fascist natural resources are good so we join some axis powers. And at that point we might civil war and Balkanize. Or who knows. Whatever it is, the future level of human death and suffering has just massively increased.

Russian FSB agents who built strong fake online profiles to sow disorder are all shaking hands and celebrating now

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everybody has to lie in that bed, including people who didn't vote because they don't live in the US. Congratulations, guys, you did it.

[–] Kecessa 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The good news is that last time it pushed the world to try and distance itself from the USA and that will probably make then lose influence even more.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The alternatives don't exactly look great, though. Geostrategically this is a massive win for Russia and China.

[–] Kecessa 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Europe has all it needs to become a plurinational super power, even without the few pro Russia States

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sure. But they're just incapable of formulating any sort of strategy (and acting on it, of course). And fascism is very much on the march here too.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm not blaming any race, ethnicity, or culture. I'm blaming people who voted for Trump and people who didn't vote. I'll be getting T-shirts made that say, "Don't blame me. I didn't vote for the orange shitbag douche!" On the other hand, I live in a red state that went to Trump. I can't help to think that since I don't live in a battleground state, did my vote actually count or help since we still have the antiquated electoral college in play. I just hope we aren't as f#cked as I think we are.

Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It's so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.

A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

(source video, in Dutch)

In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they're in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.

Not American, and I don’t think the democrats are as bad as republicans, but pretty sure that this bed was made by the people who simply wouldn’t take genocide out of their platform.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, 'cause Kamala Harris couldn't possibly have moved away from Biden's stand of actively and unwaveringly supporting ethno-Fascists committing a Genocide well on its way to Neue Holocaust.

Obviously it was totally, completely, utterly impossible for that one single person to change her stand on a subject that collided with powerfull principles many of her natural voters held (little things such as "thou shall not mass murder children") so " logically" the blame is on everybody else for not supporting those who went against their principles, not in any way form or shape on Kamala Harris for persisting in supporting the mass murder of children.

You tribalist muppets really are mindless parrots when it comes to the actions of your "chief" even when they lead the tribe to defeat by a self-centered moron and all-around-creep like Trump - the blame is always somebody else's never of your tribe's leaders.

The funny bit (in a sad way rather than a " ah! ah!" way) is that if you muppets hadn't spent the last year supporting the DNC even whilst they armed genociders and were their greatest cheerleaders, they might not have kept relying on the propaganda strategy (oh so very obvious here) of trying to retain leftwing votes by claiming that "not voting Democrat was voting for Trump" (which, lo and behold, failed) and would have been forced months ago to change their own stand on various subject including the Genocide (their last minute symbolic announcements of a handful of leftwing measures which they've had at least 4 years to pass - in some cases, they've had several presidential mandates and literally DECADES to fix them - was too little, too late, just talk and after they had already destroyed many people's trust that they would genuinely try to deliver them).

Want to really save the Democrat Party: now is the time to push hard for its leadership to be held accountable and replace (no more "we're in the middle of an election" excuse), and I mean the DNC, not just the current figurehead.

Doubling down on that "our leader's actions are beyond challenge and any bad outcomes are always and entirely the fault of others for no supporting our tribe" crap is just pushing towards that in 4 years' time the Democrat Party is still an unreformed pro-Genocide Hard Right anti-Democracy pro-Oligarchy party selling itself as the Lesser Evil rather than move leftwards in actual policies.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Should prolly find a new soap box to write walls of text about. The genocides you allegedly care so much about will now certainly come to an end, likely rather quickly. Buckle up. But hey, at least we showed her right?

Haha, democratic leadership doesn't matter. The pubs are going to oust everyone that doesn't agree with them politically, labelling them 'the enemy from within'

Not a big Arab population in GA or PA. Let's not blame MI and WI for the DNC running a second Biden term until the final hour and ratcheting right on everything.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe it should go out to whoever decided to skip the primary. That’s what changed my vote.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

What primary?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're a tool.

Skipping the primary, there was not enough time to mount a full, proper campaign.

How'd you think it'd go if weeks more were spent on a primary?

Face it, you took the fashy bait and fucked yourself.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Over 3 months of campaigning is more than enough in most of the western world. Some countries don't even allow campaigning for that long. It's a very American thing to think you need something like 6+ months to campaign. Also, not enough time for a full campaign but enough time to sit down with Liz Cheney? What do you think she would've done with the extra time when she's already scraping the bottom of the barrel some republican voters?

How'd you think it'd go if weeks more were spent on a primary?

Looking at the polling data, even worse? Her approval skyrocketed because people thought (with the Walz VP pick) she might actually lean left, and then it tapered off when she started presenting herself as a moderate.

Right, it's everyone else's fault for caring about genocide.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I suppose we'll see how the strategy of handing the election to the GOP works out in pretty short order - Netanyahu was certainly cheering about the election result.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you must have mistaken me for Kamala. Since she's the one that bent over backwards for GOP moderates.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah - playing GOP lite isn't a winning strategy when the GOP is an option - who'da thunk it?

That doesn't mean you get to claim to care about genocide while empowering the candidate that'll massively accelerate it, stupid.

So do we. Nobody wins here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Bullshit. It is white Americans who gave this to Trump. Your beef is with the whites. Leave minorities and people asking for the end to a fucking genocide alone.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Trump won the popular vote with Hispanics, especially Hispanic men. Black men went more for him too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Racist shit like this is a huge problem, and it's costing the Democrats a lot of votes. You're not helping. If you think Trump only has white supporters then you're living in a bubble.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I’ll divide people up by how they voted (an indication of their critical thinking skills and morals), not their skin color.

Unpopular opinion on lemmy, I know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That's a nice red herring. I can't think of a single person I ever heard say that. Oh, maybe those people exist somewhere, but zero in my life, including what I've seen on social media. Zero.

Isn't that amazing?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Haha! Every single comment thread on lemmy was filled with people making the exact argument you now call a "red herring". In fact, the only other major other type of commenter i see are people like YOU, the apologist Gaslighters busy telling us that what we are seeing with our own two eyes didn't really happen.

Isn't that amazing?
