    talking to the liberals on .world about the yougov poll saying that they lost because of the genocide has me feeling like the climate scientists who said that the people would naturally come to the same conclusion if you show them the proof and they'll change their ways accordingly. 🤦

        pretending Biden was worse than Trump on this issue was propaganda designed to elect Trump

        I don't think anyone was saying he was 'worse', just 'equally bad'. Although it looks like Trump is going to pressure Israel into at least a temporary ceasefire, which would make him better than Biden on this one issue.

    Turns out it's not a winning strategy to tell people they have to solemnly vote for genocide, then make fun of them for protesting genocide

    I argued with a few .world libs about how a political party had convinced them that genocide was not only acceptable, but defendable as well.

    I told them that they were going to vote for genocide, and still lose. I told them they would never be clean again.

    All they told me was "lesser of two evils", and "trans genocide", despite the very real shrapnel-ridden and charred child corpses they were seeing, in real time.

    Now they get to live as losers three times over. The election, their stance on genocide, and we all lost when trump was elected. I know that losing the election and trump winning may be argued as a single point, but I see just the Harris loss as one point, and trump being elected a significant enough of an event as to be considered it's own point.

    We'll get to sit and watch when the dems learn nothing from the Harris failures, and the problems from 2016, as they rig their own primaries again for 2028. At least then Harris will be right about nothing fundamentally changing.

      Okay but serious question because this is like the only thing they ever put any effort into:

      How will they rig the 2028 primaries this time?

    I could see myself covering my ears somewhere and it looking really bad but just because it's too loud!
