    Ah yes because she said she was going to deport people and shut down protests.

    Trump literally said he was going to do that while campaigning - and is now doing just that.

    At least you would’ve had a voice.

    Point being, this guy wouldn’t be locked up.

    Edit: if anyone had any other realistic options given the situation I’m all ears lmao

      Kamala was VP under Biden, who like Obama gave billions to Israel to murder Palestinians. Even tho the majority of people oppose the war, they get this anyway.

      The US is not a democracy, it’s a capitalist dictatorship.

        So you’re trying to tell me it would’ve been the same and/or worse under Kamala? I want some of whatever you’re on…

        I get it’s not ideal, but you’ve got millions of idiots here in the US that couldn’t give a shit about Palestine. I’m not one of the ones you need to convince of this. I just voted for the better of the two options this time around considering the stakes. Voted Bernie Sanders in both 2016 and 2020.

        Edit: wonder if you’ll still feel the same way once the special needs orangutan and his best buddy Netanyahu turn Gaza into a strip mall or golf course….

            Pretty sure what they meant is same for Palestine.

            However it would be without the blatant authoritarian BS going on that hurts people in the US even more.

            If your end goal is the fall of US as the result of this, then fair, and I do hope this doesn’t lead to the worst outcome possible - a third world war.

          That was kind of the critical issue going on. There was this whole movement to get some kind of course change on Israel. Biden made it clear there was a higher chance of Trump changing course on Israel. Kamala insisted she would not change course from Biden.

          It really didn’t work out for their campaign.

            Changing course - as in changing Gaza into a golf course?

            He literally called Biden a “very bad Palestinian” in their debate lol as if that was an insult. Y’all are whacked out of your minds

              I suggest you pay attention to actions rather than words. Trump brokered a peace deal in 10 days when Biden refused to do so in over a year.

                Damn, Trump brought peace to the Middle East? News to me lol. As far as I’m aware, Israelis are still slaughtering Palestinians

                Maybe he should work some of his magic with Ukraine and Russia

                Edit: why is this dude still protesting if Trump brought peace hah

                  Trump brokered a peace deal between Palestinians and Israeli which stopped, or at the very least paused, the genocide for almost two months now. Are you suggesting the situation was better under Biden?

                  He is also currently working towards a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.

                  This dude is protesting because despite the stop of the genocide, the occupation of Palestine by Israel continues.

                    What happens when it falls through again in a week or two? And all things considered, of course it was going to be worse under Biden. That was in the months immediately following 10/7 which of course was going to be the time for the crazy response from Israel…

                    Seems off you’re liking Trump on this when literally this post started with him illegally detaining and trying to deport US-Palestinians

                  What happened to being civil and nice?

                  Steve Witkoff, Trump’s envoy, is the one who brokered the ceasefire deal. He imposed a meeting to Netanyahu in the middle of Shabbat and told him the peace deal was going to happen, no way around it. Biden had over a year to do this and refused to apply meaningful pressure on Israel.
