As long as I live, I will never understand why America would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.
Sorry to disagree.
She prioritised corporate interests over citizens.
She backs the genocide. She gaslit those who speak out of protest against it. She banned Palestinian voices at her DNC, where they openly mocked deaf children.
So not so impressive.
@rzeta0 @Strandjunker But STILL a better choice than the orange rapist, right?
That isn't a certainty. Let me explain.
If you have family, friends in Gaza, it is practically 100% certain a new Democrat administration would continue the utterly unprecedented massacres.
If there's even a 1% lower chance under that wildcard unpredictable Trump, then it is understandable why you'd want the Democrats replaced.
If it were my family, I would want the Democrats out with every fibre in my body. They are evil. Because evil is what they are doing.
@rzeta0 @Strandjunker But still better than the Republicans??!
I fear you don't understand and are unlikely to.
I tried.
Perhaps others who read this will see if they didn't previously.
Have a good evening.
@rzeta0 @Strandjunker Exactly, I don't understand. I understand the few with friends and family in the warzone might be more likely to buy the lies of wanting to make changes. But the lies were so obvious, so clear to the rest of the world.
They don't want to make changes for anybody but the richest, don't want to do any foreign policy that will hurt their income.
Everybody could see that. Except a whole lot of American voters. I just don't get it.
@claralistensprechen3rd @Strandjunker @Ellegaarddk
where did I say it was the opinion of the most?
the majority opinion was to vote the Democrats out.
@Ellegaarddk
Think of it ikke this: a new democrat would, with 100% certainty, continue the genocide. Trump, for all his faults, represented a change from the status quo which is currently genocide.
So, do you vote for genocide or throw the dice? On this matter some people wouldn’t vote for a genocide enabler.
Will trump be worse? We won’t know for a while yet. Personally I’m hoping his kakistocracy will end the US empire and the Zionist entity with it.
@Mogleg @Ellegaarddk @rzeta0 @Strandjunker Maybe it's the cynic in me, but I find the notion that Americans voted in large numbers for Trump because they were sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian people really quite absurd.
I also find the idea that the world needs to 'wait and see' before it knows what Trump's position on Israel might be... somewhat naive.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Many people voted against Harris because of genocide. Against means they voted independent, or didn't vote. Voting trump wasn't the only option.
Nobody is saying it was the largest factor in the Democrat defeat.
The numerically larger factors were her prioritisation of corporate interests, her inauthenticity, and her stupid decisions to align with people like Liz Cheney which sends out a powerful message.
** And an inability to listen **

NOT an inability. An absolute refusal. Except, of course, when it comes to listening to billionaires and corporations. And Israel.
@JimBliss
I don’t think the issue of genocide entered the average Trump voter’s mind to be frank. Rather, Harris failed to present a compelling reason for her candidacy and her stance on genocide was one of several factors that had a negative impact.
@rzeta0 puts this more eloquently than me in their response.
@rzeta0 @Ellegaarddk @Strandjunker I beg to disagree: Because there is a HUGE network of jewish voters which would be lost (they think) if they got tough with the Government of Israel.
@BearGriffin @Ellegaarddk @Strandjunker
so that excuses genocide?
