The comments that already exist are pretty good but I’d like to bring up that I dont think it’s all that unique to Europe. Look at imperial Japan, for instance. I haven’t witnessed this myself, but I hear Korea has some cultural resentment towards Japan (particularly from older folk) thats not unlike how some affected cultures feel about their former European colonizers.

The same day, a school in Colorado got shot up by someone who had fallen deep into the alt-right pipeline. It was known that this student was viewing white supremacist, extreme right content. Not a word from the president about that radical right wing rhetoric being to blame or anything of the sort.

Edit: kid also shot himself after. Alt-right pipeline hurts those that fall into it too.

Lot of the DNC is too stupid to realize that. They see missing votes from demographics that normally would and assume it means that theyre too left and need to appeal more to centrists.

I’m sure the people getting deported to concentration camps and losing their healthcare will understand that you not voting was just to save the children in gaza (oh wait, they’re dying anyway)

Edit: also are you genuinely claiming that Harris would have done all of those things that I listed? Every single one of them? Be so for real. If that’s actually where your head is at you are so unbelievably out of touch I think you’re beyond saving.

I’d say its more complicated than that but yeah absolutely that administration didn’t try to stop it, it clearly wasn’t their goal in the slightest. They did very little (though even that very little was more than the trump administration has ever done or tried to) but I’m not gonna act like Kamala Harris would have been like the fuckin savior of Gaza cause that’s just false.

However, if Harris had won the election, we would:

• not have people sent to concentration camps in El Salvador
• not have a concentration camp in the Everglades
• not have the mass militarization of ICE
• not hace the total loss of due process for immigration cases and people being kidnapped by federal officers off the street
• not have millions of people losing Medicaid
• not have the national guard marching on the streets of DC
• not have Texas gerrymandering 5 seats in the middle of the term at the president’s request
• not have the CDC, HHS, and millions of dollars in funding for research gutted
• not have environmental programs and research gutted
• not have a convicted rapist in the oval office
• not have students deported for protesting
• there’s like dozens more things that I could list tbh
• still have a genocide in gaza

I totally understand why people were really upset about that last point. I was/am too. But I have a few thoughts:

1. If you thought Trump would have been better for gazans than Harris, you’re a fucking idiot.
2. If you think those two were equally bad because of that single issue, then you’re a fucking idiot.
3. If you didn’t vote to make a point about how we need something better than those two options, you contributed far more towards Trump’s victory than you did to making that point, especially since the democratic party is full of imbeciles who will see your missing vote and interpret it as meaning they need to become more “moderate.”

No, but less is better than more

Not that I disagree with you, but I do honestly think this stuff is more important.
