Me neither. I was convinced this mad times are finally over with harris and that we could have convinced her to stop supporting genocide-Bibi.
Now we have this fucking dictator loving orange clown, again. FFS how can people vote for this motherfucker after those 4(or even 8) years of nightmares (Biden did not manage to undo all the horrible stuff trump has done)
That was never going to happen, she was adamant about her support for Israel even when it was obviously detrimental to her.
Well, she is not the only person to decide, and there are more democrats in favour to stopping the genocide than there are republicans with own opinions.
Democrats have been in power since the current genocide began
Well, democrats hate a demented president and I believe the power in the senate (where decisions about policies are made) were republican. Additionally, only because the democrats do a bad job, it doesn’t mean that republicans can’t do it even worse.
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.
I am still in believe that some democrats changed their opinion since then..
By supporting Kamala/zionism (I sent you a link by Opensecrets which documented AIPAC donations), attacking Jill Stein/Claudia and expanding on Trump's border wall policy...not much has changed.
Yea so what you want to say, is that it did not matter who won anyway?
Well that could be, and I think there will be no definite proof stating otherwise, nonetheless, I think, that way more people suffer with the USA president we have now.
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
How does that logic work when even adding third party votes to Kamala's side that she still wouldn't have had enough to win the electoral or popular?
You have not known this at time you vote, normally one vote prior the ballots are counted.
