I'm just waiting for all those Michigan voters threatening Biden right now to go through with it.
I'm not American, I'd be really curious to see the shocked Pikachu faces when those people are rounded up and deported by the fascist dictator they'd be tacitly supporting.
I would be very worried that, in the state of Michigan, Trump racked up 750k votes while Biden was only able to drag in 620k. When you consider the 100k votes for "Uncommitted" and the 40k votes for Biden-alternatives, that's not looking great.
It looks even worse when you consider the 2020 results - 840k Biden to 577k Bernie. Joe looks like he's hemorrhaging support in that state. Palestine very well may cost him the state and potentially the Presidency.
Compare that to Trump's 110k gain from 2020. Dude's picking up speed while Democrats just kinda fuck around, waiting to find out.
Governor Whitmer has been far more savvy in her outreach to the state's Muslim community. I doubt she'd roll over to a Trump DHS trying to deport a big chunk of her constituents.
But if you're a Muslim down in Texas or out in Florida or Arizona, I would be feeling incredibly anxious.
Ah yes I guess they would have deserved it.
Liberal and victim blaming, name a more iconic duo. People who vote for fascism are responsible for fascism. Quit blackmailing people.
Also feeling "curious" at the idea of people getting shot is pretty psychopathic
Well ya, after years of warnings if y'all allow Trump back into office.... you deserve what you collectively get.
You can call me psychopathic, I'm fine with that. Myself along with the rest of the world will be watching America with baited breath in case it follows that loser airman and lights itself on fire because it fell for the bullshit.
Also i am not american either. It just hit home because the same is happening in france, with liberals using the far-right as scarecrow while enacting the same politics as them.
Come on buddy nobody deserve fascism. I know its tempting to get into this revengeful mindset but you cannot blame people not to vote for liberals either. Fascists are responsible for electing fascists, nobody else. And one might even question the free-will of the voter when there is so much propaganda around.
No, you're actually a completely wrong here. If a fascist gets into office, it's because of the failure of the society in general that allowed it to happen .
If you don't want a fascist to be the one running your country, then elect someone who is in a fascist if you're going to come back with well, the laws are this and the gerrymanders are that........ Well guess what You're in the midst of failing to prevent it from happening. So grab those damn bootstraps and do something about it.
I'm a couple of miles further away from a fascist taking off where I live, so I'm watching with fascination as you all clearly want to elect someone that hates you and will destroy the lives of many Americans. You're welcome to do it and when the whole world blames Americans for the choice that America made, you don't get to say that's not my fault.
Whatever, dear, do what you think is right. Have a good evening
If Biden wins again, that would put pressure on Republicans to reevaluate how they've been operating.
That might mean doubling down, but it could also mean changing by shedding their most extreme views and candidates, and moving back towards the middle, or just eventually imploding and having another party take its place.
Can you name a time when a party significantly shifted their platform after a loss?
Seems like "double down" is the only option they choose, at least in my lifetime.
If Trump wins we slide even further than if Biden wins...
Cool, good to hear compassion for all those who will suffer in the 4 years until 2028

Have you thought about doing something else in your interest than just voting to legitimize your silly little empire?

Reagan picked up the phone and threatened Israel in 1984, and Israel immediately withdrew from their invasion of Lebanon.
HW Bush did a similar thing: call up Israel, threaten their military aid, and Israel immediately capitulated.
Why does Biden refuse to pick up the phone? Saying this solution is impractical is simply ignoring history.
If hes so afraid of the backlash, maybe he should also consider the backlash of being the only powerful nation to support this genocide. Loss of prestige and moral superiority on the world stage? Violent blowback against US troops in the region, or even worse, terrorist attacks on US civilians? And on the domestic stage, this is a huge gift to Trump.
Why is Bidem willing to sacrifice so much to continue this genocide?
Ok.. so when Trump wins Palestine will be in a great situation right? Better than now?
