    The democrats are the sole reason that Trump won. Harris had such a massive advantage over trump and then just assumed everyone would vote for her because she deserves it for existing just like Hilliary and spent the last few months running as a blue republican to the point of bragging about how she would put one in her cabinet. She was even competing with Trump on who could have the most racist immigration policy. It clear to me at least, that a democratic party that actually cared about beating Trump is the same one that would've stopped the genocide in Palestine... One that doesn't exist.

    Edit: I forgot that she even got endorsed by Dick Cheney what a disgrace. Why did she even bother running aganist Trump? Clearly she would be happier as his vice president.

      You know how the US government will get rid of progressive movements by absorbing them? ( I don't know what that's called). They pay lip service to BLM as an example, until it's diffused. It seems like the Republicans have successfully done that to the Democrats, by being endorsed by the Democrats and all the other things you have said here.

      So they got out maneuvered by a group of people they convinced themselves were idiots. Typical.

                What are your sources about that? And I was not talking about majority vs minority, but count of not-zionist-democrats vs count not-zionist-republicans

                So in other words, I bet, the brave people that demonstrated for 🇵🇸 in America are more likely vote democratic than republican

                And, of course, a dual-poly government (like only two strong parties) is nearly as bad as only one party government, so it is reasonable that US people always have to decide between bad or worse.

                          We've already sent...so much. Trump would just be adding more, sure. But this administration has already given over 10 billion dollars.

                          There's a more that non-zero chance of Trump also being a bumbling incompetent and fucking up the relationship with Israel as he is a wanna-be strongman. Either way, Israel is getting money. More money to Israel doesn't make a genocide happen any less. There's no "Super-Genocide". It's as evil as it gets. Children are being mauled. Babies are getting stomped by IDF soldiers and women beingremovedd. Giving more money just ensures a higher paycheck for those doing it and easier time putting more bombs in strategic supplies.

                  I don't have a source for how many Democrats are Zionist vs. how many Republicans. It doesn't really matter, because as long as the majority of a party supports Zionism, who cares if technically the other party supports it more?

                Trump has stated that he thinks genocide-Bibi is doing “a good job”. I hope that says it all, isn’t it?

                  Obama had a democratic supermajority during his presidency and refused to enact/codify roe v wade and multiple other major decisions for working class citizen...like accepting a shitty republican healthcare program he didn't have to. The excuse of "republicans are stopping us!" is complete horseshit.

                  Democrats aren't hindered by republicans. Senate always has trouble agreeing on things unless it's military aid for bombing brown people or cutting funding to programs.

                          It matters where your principles stand and where your morals begin. Engaging in electoralism to reinforce genocide shows where they are. Voting PSL would be an example of at least engaging in electoralism to show you don't support genocide.

                          The decay is faster. As the old Dwarven saying goes...it was inevitable.

                            I agree, I am privileged enough to live in a country with a voting system where I can vote in line of my morals and it affects politics more or less in the direction I prefer (e.g. I vote pirates and by that I give oder parties with similar morals more power as well).

                            In America, if you vote PSL, you affect the politics to go more into republican side, where I think morals differ more to PSL than democrats morals

                            But that’s just me viewing from the outside

              Biden literally expanded the border control/immigration policies that Trump set. Factually and literally, he did expand on them.

              Liberals need to fuck off with the "well, actually no in my opinion" when it comes to debating literal facts. This is facts. Biden expanded multiple things created under Trump and even gave himself unlimited power knowing that Trump was likely running against Kamala.

              What exactly? Trump said mean things? What about Kamala is good/better?

              Both wanted fracking/oil drilling Both didn't care about trans people (Kamala: we have to follow the law) Kamala actively put marginalized people from her community into jail on marijuana charges while Trump bankrupted a few casinos. Both want hostile relations with China.

              If anything, Kamala/Joe ramped up two wars. Trump actually wants to end Ukraine. (we'll see)

              So how exactly is either one worse? Orange man say bad thing?
