    Jesus fucking christ. Why not blame the idiots who abstained? We have a two party system, like it or not. I didn’t care for either candidate, but I still voted for the one who was not LOUDLY advertising their fucking fascism.

      She literally said we need the most lethal military in the world. Who cares if she wasn’t as loud about it? She still supports the empire that is hellbent on slaughtering the world and was unwilling to do anything to actually stop it. Don’t pretend voting would save anyone.

        Harris wasn’t going to go around deporting students like Trump is preparing to do. So eat shit. Trump is about to do Trumpy things, and your “can’t see difference between Trump and Harris / Joe” is going to be lost to the winds of history.

        Play politics better next time.

          Maybe she wouldn’t, but she wouldn’t do anything to stop the next guy from doing so which is a huge part of why voting doesn’t actually matter long term in capitalist society. I clearly see the difference between Harris and Trump but I am arguing that it would not matter because she still upholds the system that creates and enables people like Trump.

              The lenin pfp wasn’t clear enough? God you fucking liberals are insufferable. I’m begging you to develop any understanding of political economy. The people in power are the way they are because of the system that made them. Getting rid of the individuals won’t solve fucking anything

        Save? Who said anything about that. Nice deflection though. It was literally fascism or status quo, and America chose fascism.

          The status quo is genocide and imperialism. You only care so much right now because it threatens you. Instead of bashing people for not supporting the imperialist genocidiers how about you stop supporting them. You cannot push democrats left, they only let you believe you could so you wouldn’t abandon them. Continuing to support them means lying down while the fascists mow us all over.

            Orrrrrrrr we have to work with what we got. What do you honestly think the pro-Palestine protests would achieve? Both parties wholeheartedly support propping Israel up.

            This goes beyond my own personal plight. Fascism will come for you too. But don’t worry, people like you voted third party or abstained. You did a good job. You really showed us.

              I didn’t expect it to achieve anything within bourgeois politics. I expected it to affect the minds and hearts of Americans so that when the fascist did take power they wouldn’t see democrats as the fucking solution. The intent was to expose both parties for the sick fucks they are.

              I still voted for Harris because my partner was terrified and I hoped it would ease her worries. It didn’t matter, and it wouldn’t have if Harris won either. You’re right, fascism will come for me, I have known this for over a year now and I also know its because I and people like me actually threaten them. Really cool of you to gloat though.

      Yes, blame them too. I did vote for Harris. One can protest genocide but still vote for the better candidate.
