    I’m not blaming any race, ethnicity, or culture. I’m blaming people who voted for Trump and people who didn’t vote. I’ll be getting T-shirts made that say, “Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for the orange shitbag douche!” On the other hand, I live in a red state that went to Trump. I can’t help to think that since I don’t live in a battleground state, did my vote actually count or help since we still have the antiquated electoral college in play. I just hope we aren’t as f#cked as I think we are.

      Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It’s so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.

      A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

      (source video, in Dutch)

      In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they’re in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.

    Not a big Arab population in GA or PA. Let’s not blame MI and WI for the DNC running a second Biden term until the final hour and ratcheting right on everything.

    Those people are responsible for the next administration (republicans) killing everyone in Gaza and Lebanon. And they just voted to fuck Taiwan & Hong Kong. You voted for death, congratulations.

    They’re all gonna evaporate into nothing. In fact they’ve already started to go. Some other pressing Internet topic will be the next topic du jour in the Moscow time zone.

    You’re talking into the wind.

      Ending international support for Ukraine is still a priority, so keep an eye on any issues related to Europe and movements that opposed Russia’s expansionist policies.

        I mean it will probably begin with Trump halting us military aid to Ukraine and then immediately and forcibly setting up a trade route to purchase Russian natural resources at a dollar for a dime. And gas prices will drop in the US for a bit. And all Trump supporters, will go “see.” Because they are incredibly myopic and selfish. And then Trump will quickly drop out of nato because fascist natural resources are good so we join some axis powers. And at that point we might civil war and Balkanize. Or who knows. Whatever it is, the future level of human death and suffering has just massively increased.

    Yeah, 'cause Kamala Harris couldn’t possibly have moved away from Biden’s stand of actively and unwaveringly supporting ethno-Fascists committing a Genocide well on its way to Neue Holocaust.

    Obviously it was totally, completely, utterly impossible for that one single person to change her stand on a subject that collided with powerfull principles many of her natural voters held (little things such as “thou shall not mass murder children”) so " logically" the blame is on everybody else for not supporting those who went against their principles, not in any way form or shape on Kamala Harris for persisting in supporting the mass murder of children.

    You tribalist muppets really are mindless parrots when it comes to the actions of your “chief” even when they lead the tribe to defeat by a self-centered moron and all-around-creep like Trump - the blame is always somebody else’s never of your tribe’s leaders.

    The funny bit (in a sad way rather than a " ah! ah!" way) is that if you muppets hadn’t spent the last year supporting the DNC even whilst they armed genociders and were their greatest cheerleaders, they might not have kept relying on the propaganda strategy (oh so very obvious here) of trying to retain leftwing votes by claiming that “not voting Democrat was voting for Trump” (which, lo and behold, failed) and would have been forced months ago to change their own stand on various subject including the Genocide (their last minute symbolic announcements of a handful of leftwing measures which they’ve had at least 4 years to pass - in some cases, they’ve had several presidential mandates and literally DECADES to fix them - was too little, too late, just talk and after they had already destroyed many people’s trust that they would genuinely try to deliver them).

    Want to really save the Democrat Party: now is the time to push hard for its leadership to be held accountable and replace (no more “we’re in the middle of an election” excuse), and I mean the DNC, not just the current figurehead.

    Doubling down on that “our leader’s actions are beyond challenge and any bad outcomes are always and entirely the fault of others for no supporting our tribe” crap is just pushing towards that in 4 years’ time the Democrat Party is still an unreformed pro-Genocide Hard Right anti-Democracy pro-Oligarchy party selling itself as the Lesser Evil rather than move leftwards in actual policies.

      Should prolly find a new soap box to write walls of text about. The genocides you allegedly care so much about will now certainly come to an end, likely rather quickly. Buckle up. But hey, at least we showed her right?

      The good news is that last time it pushed the world to try and distance itself from the USA and that will probably make then lose influence even more.

        The alternatives don’t exactly look great, though. Geostrategically this is a massive win for Russia and China.

            Sure. But they’re just incapable of formulating any sort of strategy (and acting on it, of course). And fascism is very much on the march here too.

    Bullshit. It is white Americans who gave this to Trump. Your beef is with the whites. Leave minorities and people asking for the end to a fucking genocide alone.

      Racist shit like this is a huge problem, and it’s costing the Democrats a lot of votes. You’re not helping. If you think Trump only has white supporters then you’re living in a bubble.

      Trump won the popular vote with Hispanics, especially Hispanic men. Black men went more for him too.

    Not American, and I don’t think the democrats are as bad as republicans, but pretty sure that this bed was made by the people who simply wouldn’t take genocide out of their platform.
