In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

The best way to keep trump out of the Whitehouse was Bernie. Dems refused that and joined a genocide, Trump is the consequence that Americans have to sadly suffer.

so you chose Gaza

but you didn't, you just chose trump

I chose nothing as I'm not a US citizen, I'm just explaining you the consequences of the democrat administration's actions, they're very obvious from outside

you're still to blame for campaigning against Harris

Jesus... BlueMAGA is at the point where any criticism of the Democrats is forbidden.

You’re to blame for refusing to hold democrats accountable and just cheerleading their failures to govern.

I didn't campaign against Harris, I campaigned against genocide. Too bad the dems couldn't compromise and, you know, not genocide people. If campaigning against genocide implies a certain party losing votes, I fail to see how that's my fault and not the party's

i'm sure you would like to blame everything on them seeing as how it monumentally backfired on you

but you did your part and got trump elected

It didn't backfire on me, Gaza actually has a ceasefire, which while imperfect is better than the overt genocide we saw over the recent past. International policy of the USA is the same regardless of which wing of the oligarchy is in government at any particular time, I do feel bad for women and minorities in the US, but again the fault is the system's, not the voters'.
