    Yeah, now we just get continued and worsened genocide in Gaza and an even faster decline into fascism in the United States! This was definitely worth it to stick it to the Dems!

    And before you call me a lib, I’m not. I just have 2 brain cells to rub together and understood that voting 3rd party is sadly a complete and utter waste of time in our system. I also understood that letting Trump get elected was going to make things far, far worse like it already has.

    Dems were far from perfect and aren’t much better than the Republicans, but they are still better. I would love it if the socialist party or at least one leftist party could get elected, but I live under this fucked up system and until it’s gone, we’re stuck with 2 parties. At least until Trump or Elon bans Democrats from existing. Neither party will change that, but one of them is definitively better than the other

      Just one more Democrat win bro and they’ll stop the sliding into fascism, just one more win. Look at us we have Bush on our side now, you hated him before but we just had to beat him once and now he’s on our side look. We have Cheney now, you hated Cheney but look we’re best pals. Just let us beat Trump and we’ll make it better. Oh look Trump is on our side now against mega-hitler, let’s beat mega-hitler this time and all your troubles will be over. Just one more Democratic win why won’t you trust us.

      All the while actively fighting the progressives in their own party. Trump didn’t win, Democrats lost, hard. Take ownership. Learn. Do better.

      Look how casually this person talks about genocide. Refusing to participate in the modern day Holocaust started by the Democrats is “sticking it to the dems”. Absolutely zero care for the massacared non white women and children.

      At least be honest and say you do not care about brown people and think Trump will personally affect you worse.

        Damn, now I’m just “this person”? I care immensely about the Palestinian people dying, thanks very much. I’m just being realistic about our options. In what possible way was sitting this out and letting Trump take over better for literally anybody in the world at all? Forget skin color, Trump and Elon taking over is bad for everybody expect the uber wealthy.

        Just rolling over and letting a man who admitted he’d be a dictator on day one as well as saying he’d rather destroy Gaza than find a peaceful solution was definitely worth it to stick it to the Dems!

          By calling you “this person” they showed more empathy than you still can’t seem to muster up for Palestinians.

          People opposing the Holocaust just wanted to stick it to Hitler I guess.

        That’s great but please explain how Trumo being in office is going to help.

        Do you care about Ukraine?

          How is Trump in office relevant to Genocide Joe? Did Genocide Joe not do genocide because Trump is in office now?

          So far Trump is doing a bang on job of uniting the entire world including Europe against Israel.

          As for Ukraine sure. But Ukraine had already been abandoned by Biden. If America wanted Ukraine to win they would have sent them the weapons they needed at the beginning of the war. Not after 3 years.

            I’ve been trying to explain this to people for about a year.

            Support of Israel is non-negotiable in US politics. 95% of the political establishment supports whatever they want to do. So, it’s not at all about Biden. Want to say Genocide US, sure, that makes sense. Pinning it on Biden just managed to slam him in an election year. The main point is that sure, after criticizing them, we didn’t get Kamala or Biden, who had bad Palestine policies, but instead got someone worse who is also worse on basically every issue. Environment, labor, and financial regulation, human rights abroad, LGBT rights, policing, everything.

            Ukraine had not been abandoned by Biden? They sent them something like $120 billion in arms right before Trump took office. What’s Trump going to send? Nothing, most likely. I’m not sure what you’re getting at there. The US has obviously given lots of support to Ukraine. Democrats have been all for it; Republicans have kicked up a fuss and said a bunch of bullshit about it, and now they’re in charge.
