Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Nope, scratch what I originally wrote, yeah, no, fuck you. You get what you voted for and if you think that the Democratic party wasn't taking you seriously, boy howdy, leopards and faces my friend.
Nope, good luck, hope you enjoy your decision.
This person you're discussing would've voted in New Jersey, which was overwhelmingly won by Harris. You're totally discounting a valid frustration with Liberals who follow a politics of aesthetics instead of policy. Things probably will be much worse for the Palestinians with Trump, but there has been zero evidence the situation would've gotten any better under Harris. There's been an ongoing genocide with no stop in sight for over a year and the US is actively funding it right now.
She helped give Trump the popular vote. Which is just as important as winning the stupid electoral college when you now have a overwhelming victory here giving them a mandate for their racism. And you said it yourself, things will be worse under Trump well good luck there. At least with Harris she would have pushed for a cease fire while Trump told Netanyahu to get the job done. Not only do you have zero evidence or will improve, you've now got ample evidence it will get worse so you voted to enable the greater of two evils and good luck with influencing those policies now.
You think genocide was unacceptable under Biden/Harris well good luck to your community under Trump and may your community deal with the consequences, including asylum status since we all have to live with the results.
Harris gave Trump the popular vote.
You did not have to write anything after that. But how does it feel knowing you supported a genocide and gained nothing for it?
No genocide wasn't on the ballot.
Trump gets us genocide in Gaza, Ukraine, and minorities at home. I hope you're happy knowing you support multiple genocides.
If Genocide wasn't on the ballot than how can you accuse anyone of supporting a genocide by the way they voted?
Because one choice wanted to work out a cease fire and the other choice wanted to accelerate all the genocide.
Ask the dope saying Democrats are pro genocide what his better solution was because sitting on the sidelines doesn't absolve you of responsibility for the outcome.
How about if I ask the dope who says they're not why they've been funding one for over a year
In a two party system you don't always get great choices, but Harris was clearly the better choice here. If you don't understand that I don't have the time to try explaining it to you.
That's also ignoring the fact that Congress sets the budget. Originating in the house of representatives specifically. Who is it that is in charge over there?
Liberals' smarmy self righteous condescending attitudes is another reason she lost
And the president has veto power over it
