Pay no attention to the fascist behind the curtain.
The fascist in front of the curtain is loud enough already.
Let's not forget how we got here though cause if we do forget & survive this round, won't be long before it comes back. I'm specifically referring to the pro-genocide candidate that we were all lied to about their cognition until we all saw the emperor had no clothes. Then they anointed the Cheney supporter that couldn't think of anything she'd do differently.
That's not really the root cause. Capitalism is closer to the root.
Lol. Capitalism isn't going away anytime soon. Democrats absolutely could have won if they actually stood for anything other than themselves.
Sure, but a big part of why they don't do better is they want to continue the capitalist hellscape where a few people benefit from "owning" most everything.
Because that is the system people are subscribed to. You want big change & to take on capitalism you need a V for Vendetta. The system is built on capitalism. The best chance we'd prob have right now to take on capitalism is someone with a popular agenda that is good at acting, but once elected as President they basically say... Ha, now I'm immune & will use my platform to try to get rid of capitalism. They'd probably get assassinated real quick though. Or a complete collapse of the system.
Maybe. We can still try to work on multiple things at the same time.
Demand more from the Democrats.
Fight the right wing.
Push for better systems.
No one's going to wave a magic wand and fix everything. though it would be funny to me if more billionaires were murdered , that's not really likely or safe.
It's called building dual power, and many of us are actually doing things every day to further that goal.
Is this sarcastic? Because that's literally what we're witnessing. We may have a chance at building a better world with better systems very soon.
Not if the same establishment Democrats get reelected then claim their hands are tied whenever Republicans try their usual antics.
Yeah, obviously. Doesn't mean don't be ready or don't even try
not with that attitude
You realize Trump supports Russia (genocide of Ukrainians and minority ethnicities) and gave Israel the green light to continue on. Right?
Trump wants to start a war with Canada and Greenland. Right?
Seems like you fully support genocide. Despite having the audacity to claim otherwise.
I don't support Trump & didn't vote for him. Why in your mind does criticizing something about Democrats equate to being a Trump supporter? Maybe you should have been more critical of Democrats prior to the election & we wouldn't be in this mess.
idk calling the Democratic candidate "Pro-Genocide" (They are not, no matter how much you claim they are), while letting the literal pro-genocide candidate off scott free.
Look, I much prefer any Democratic administration over a Republican one but it's ABSOLUTELY correct to say the Democratic Party supports a genocide. They clearly didn't respect international law nor did they comply with arrest warrants for Netanyahu. They also continued to fund Israel after human rights violation after human rights violation. What is that other than sheer, explicit support of a genocide?
The US is not a member of the ICC.
Lol, you had the Biden "proud Zionist" admin literally vetoing UN resolutions demanding a ceasefire. Instead every answer was "we'll always stand by Israel & give them money to continue." Clearly if you believe that isn't pro genocide then you're living in a different pretend reality.
The Biden admin has been working with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Palestinian Authority, Qatar, HAMAS, and Israel to actually establish a real ceasefire agreement.
Biden's administration has been seeking a resolution that will end the blood shed. Trump's administration is suggesting and supporting the outright REMOVAL of Palestinians. It's not hard to see that.
The same Biden administration that helped kill 70k civilians. He got walked around the park by Netanyahu. Democrats & Republicans are both Israel first. The sooner you face reality the sooner Democrats will actually have to do something to earn votes. Look at where we're at now. Did you make excuses for them to get us here?
Capitalists should hold no political power, do you agree?
Thanks for supporting trump because you're a great morally pure saint
I'm a lot more moral than genocide supporters
You're a genocide supporter who lies
Prove it. I bet you voted for a candidate that said they support Israel unconditionally.
I didn't vote for trump, unlike you, you fraud.
Neither did I. Keep acting that way though please... You'll help get more third party voters next election.
You voted third party. Worse than voting for Trump because you're spreading the lie that it will help anything
You voted for the pro-genocide candidate. You lied, made excuses & can't figure out why you lost to Trump.
No you voted for extra genocide and in the process nuked the economy also. I'm sure Palestinians love you and your fraudulent morality which is actually idiotic cruelty. A disgusting liar who would be celebrated if it weren't for all these dEmoCrAt GeNoCiDe SuPpOrTeRs
Palestinians voted for Jill Stein more than any other candidate. I voted alongside Palestinians who rejected the two-party genocide. You on the other hand appear to have no respect for the Palestinians wishes, instead insisting that you know better than them.
Lol you can speak for all Palestinians saying they all voted very much against their interests because you lie and say you knew one
I was referring to those in Gaza getting bombed and who will suffer even more because you intentionally voted to hurt them, knowingly, lying all the way. I have zero faith that liars like you deserve an iota of benefit of doubt
You're wrong:

Where was Kamala's?

Yes and Republicans mostly are voting against their interests too, and?
So you know what is best for Palestinians? Are you the white man that knows what is best?
I know that Trump is worse for them by far, and so do you. That's why you're lying on his behalf, specifically to make sure you destroy the lives of Palestinians, very much intentionally and we both know it
fair, but Harris would have won without election rigging. Voter suppression and forced provisional ballots that were never counted.
