    Maybe if literally every discussion prior to his winning didn’t revolve around the participants’ black and white stand on genocide, the discourse and flow of moderate viewpoints may have gone better.

        Just pointing out that even if all 3rd party votes went to Kamala it wouldn’t have changed the result, it was that big of a difference.

        Non voters could have changed the outcome, but not someone voting their conscious by refusing to enable or accept genocide as ok.

        Not being anti-genocide is insane btw. How depraved and awful of a person do you have to be to not have a position on that or justify it. I don’t get it. Humans are awful.

          That’s why I lead with didn’t vote.

          If your options are shit or “we’re nazis with a new coat of paint” you hold your nose and vote for shit. What we are seeing in America is a direct result of people being unable to hold their nose, and wouldn’t you know it, it didn’t stop any genocide. But hey, they’re going to be just fine on their moral high ground, right?

            How about blaming the 77 million people that voted for the this then? Stop demonizing people that stood firm AGAINST GENOCIDE. What the fuck dude?

            Genocide = Bad

            Nazi = Bad

            So go argue with all the MAGAs that are still cheering and celebrating this all.

              If you didn’t vote last election, you are as culpable. I will point fingers at yanks, and I won’t feel bad about it. This administration is the fault of the American people for not standing against fascism. It is the fault of the Democratic party for thinking they couldn’t lose, it’s the fault of all of you. And now the world has to pay for it. Any American should be ashamed of their country, and of their countrymen. If this upsets you, good. This is upsetting.

    The government will fail you, but Trump will ensure the government fails you even harder and faster, that it fails more people, and that it will bring as much of the world down with it as possible.
