    I’m so glad I listened to all the posters who said voting for the Democrats was voting for GENOCIDE. Boy we sure dodged a bullet there didn’t we!

      talk to the dem leaders about their failure on that one. You would hope at least one of the parties would be against war crimes. Why werent the DNC? Rhetocial question: because they are irretrievably corrupt and cashed some AIPAC checks.

      I think you’d best be mad at that corruption and not the voters put in an impossible spot because of it. Unless you are dishonest, a warmonger or zionist, in which case go on with your prattle.

      Technically speaking, we don’t know what would have happened if Kamala was elected. But I agree with the general sentiment of the message.

      Trump, despite being lowest rated president in the modern history is still overrated and overtrusted by people.

        Only speaking as a Canadian, but I highly doubt you’d have a president openly threatening the sovereignty of foreign nations, completely alienating your closest allies for over a century forcing them to stop trade with you, and overall make you an international laughing stock.

        Sure you might still have gotten a war, but it’s everything else that is uniquely Trump.

        Yeah, what else was it? 😀 How would Kamala have been worse than this? I am genuinely interested 😀

          You miss the point. You think Kamala being better than Trump is a gotcha that’ll shame non-voters into eating the shit sandwich, but that’s immature. Voters will never be rational and will always pick what feels right over what would lead to a better outcome. Being bitter about it helps no one, especially when it’s a party’s job to make decisions that appeal to voter preferences.

          They made so many blunders leading up to the election that I knew who I would be responsible if we lost. As someone who has voted in every single regional and national election since I was eligible, I saw them do everything in their power to be unlikable enough to lose to evil incarnate. It was the last election that mattered, but you wouldn’t think it based on how they ran the country and their campaigns.

          They put capital above democracy, put nationalism over human rights, and they never plan to undo the damage done unless the owning class allows it. You blaming the people who lost most from the election only dooms the party to moving further away from liberalism. It’s always the people who own the media, own stocks, and own politicians who are at fault. You’ve already forgotten who to blame, and for that you are a useful idiot.

            You are eating your shit sandwich from the dumpster now instead of a plate in your home. Whatever you blame on the Dems in your lengthy text is foobar’d now to the point of being irreparable.

            Guess your hands were tied and there was no way to avoid Trump 2… Not sure who is the idiot here.

      It’s always a vote for genocide, whether D or R or refusing to vote, the genocide keeps genociding.

      USA is world’s largest arms dealer (not hyperbole) regardless of who is in office. Vote for who you want, just for laughs. It doesn’t matter.

        Nope, your “nothing matters everyone is the same” bullshit is wrong. There are different levels of harm and the far right is objectively more harmful to more people.

            We’re talking Iran, Venezuela, Iran again, Cuba next, threats against Greenland and Canada within a few months. You really have to be clueless to pretend this is just the same thing that was happening the previous four years under Biden.

              Didn’t Obama do the same with Libya Syria and continued in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, among others? And Biden aided a genocide so not sure what you’re on about.

                How many of these did they start vs continue vs somehow happened in their term?

                Let’s just make some borscht full of conflicts the US was involved in and use that as whataboutims because who the fuck cares?

                Is Trump more than aiding the genocide now? Questions over questions.

                So let’s be clear: your only example of what was happening under Biden is the thing that Trump has turned up to eleven while also doing all the other things I listed.

                  I thought we were talking about how a vote for team blue or team red is a vote for genocide and war? The US’ 200 ish year old history has always been based on war, stop trying to argue against it makes you look uneducated. No other country has carried out the level of meddling destruction and annihilation of entire populations that the US has carried out, either alone or by supplying its allies.

                  If you want to compare, at least 75 thousand Palestinians were killed in the first 16 months (so 15 months under biden, 1 under trump) but the excess mortality is way higher according to peer reviewed studies in medical journals as indirect deaths aren’t counted in those numbers. Still, taking that 75k number, Biden surpasses the rate of killing than what trump has achieved through its operations and its allies.

                  So, no trump hasn’t turned up things up to eleven. Trump has just burned bridges with some allies and couped a few countries, which is slightly more active than Biden, but nothing out of the ordinary.

                  Like Mulligrabs said, regardless of which side of the coin you choose, the US is sure to come and destroy everything you have (or supply someone to do it for them).

                  “Oh but he’s upsetting allies” what the fuck does that matter? The world doesn’t care that a few allies are upset when they’re getting bombed by America.

                  The US is an empire and I sincerely hope it collapses.

                    I don’t care to continue this discussion, but it’s clear you shouldn’t make any allusions to someone looking uneducated when your own portrayal of what Trump is doing makes you look like you understand geopolitics at the level of a five-year-old.
