    “Unlike Kamala, I will support Israel’s right to win its war on terror. They have to win! And instead of pandering to the Jihad sympathizers and America-hating radicals, we will deport them.”

    • D. Trump, verbatim, on Nov 6th.

    But yeah no, this will definitely improve things.

            Do you really need me to Google for you why the Golan Heights president is likely a worse outcome for the citizens of Gaza?

            Fine, how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires…

            Anyone who thinks the Muslim-ban president is a good outcome for Gaza only cares about the real estate value of Gaza.

              Israel is already getting everything they could ever wish for. There is nothing that Trump could offer that they’re not already getting, including protection from the international community.

                Please take a step back, take a few breaths, and try to be coherent to the context you’re replying.

                If I were you I would either recant my position or be VERY offended that I was accused with merit of being a white supremacist. You singled out as a distinction that the bad things would happen here. To people like you. Fairly explicit that should mean something more than the lives that aren’t yours.

                This is definitional chauvinism.

      Am I happy I was right when I told Blue MAGA they should stop running a campaign on Genocide and was banned from LemmyWorld?

      No.

      Was I right?

      Yes.

      Your takeaway should be to start ignoring the Blue MAGA cult who tell you to stick your head in the sand while Holocaust Harris is speaking. Criticize them and make them so unpopular that they run another candidate who is not Bidolf.

        Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.

        I’m not really interested in criticizing people, myself. You can do what you like and convince people to join you in whatever way you deem fit, but in my experience, they tend to shut down and stop listening (maybe it’s my delivery). I’d much rather show them there’s hope elsewhere, especially because right now, that’s what a lot of people want. Honey vs. vinegar, and all that.

          By applying enough pressure that they run a decent candidate. Like how they replaced Biden because he would 100% not win after the CNN debate.

          By allowing Democrats to run on a Nazi agenda and censoring dissent, the Blue MAGA crowd effectively doomed themselves.

          Everyone fell in line behind an emperor without clothes. Are you really surprised the emperor has no clothes now?

      No, but I’m still disgusted by the amount of gaslighting we got for the last 8 months. All Harris had to do was make a plan to end the war, but she… didn’t. And some liberals want to call it our (people who didn’t vote for her) fault.

            Granted, Biden did almost nothing to slow it down, and kept Israel well supplied with the weapons of genocide. Do you really think it’s a coincidence that Netanyahu waited until the day after the election to announce that Palestinians won’t be allowed to return to northern Gaza though?

            Granted, that was almost certainly the plan all along, but now even the fig leaf is gone. Without the need to devote any thought at all to political cover, Israel will stop even pretending to internal investigations of accusations against their own soldiers and redeploy those resources to the battlefield.

            The number of Palestinian deaths may not be different, but they’ll die even sooner.

              There was never a fig leaf. They already didn’t need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn’t tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.

              The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.

              Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they’re both equal in this matter

          Exactly. It was a douche and a turd sandwich. Refusing to vote because “they’re a turd sandwich” is simply saying “I’m okay with the douche”. It’s a 2 party system. There are no good candidates. Only one that’s marginally better than the other. Not voting is tacitly voting for the worst one.

              Not a USAmerican, but by that logic:
              Are Kamala, her party and her supporters who couldn’t get those people to vote for Kamala also responsible for the increased suffering?

              Are they responsible for the people not being convinced that the suffering would be lesser under Kamala?

              Did Kamala and party show significant effort and good faith to woo those people?
              Or was it the 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler thing? Asking since most online discourse I saw on it here in lemmy was like that, where they’re saying Trump would be worse, instead of saying that Kamala would be better, de-escalate stuff etc.

                Yes, they are morally culpable too. Even more so than the people who refused to vote for them.

                  If that’s how they place the blame, then that’d be cool.

                  But other than that, in reality, it lilely seems to become a blame game, where they don’t want to look at why they lost the trust of the folk who they are blaming.

                  Though, I’m just seeing online interactions. Maybe offline interactions ae much more decent and useful.

          I’m surprised to see an antinatalist support Harris. Seems morally inconsistent, though perhaps not from a consequentialist perspective. I’ve been blocking everyone sharing your sentiment, but I don’t wanna block one of the few antinatalists here, so I’m commenting instead

          Is Harris’ loss my fault because I voted for De La Cruz? She could have easily earned my vote, but tried to court centrists and conservative voters instead.

        For my part, I’m not sure it is, though lack of votes didn’t help. The meme is perhaps meanspirited so soon after the painful news, but here’s my question, and this is genuine: now what?

        Trump will get to pick a bunch of lower federal judges and probably two more SCOTUS judges. What’s the way out when it seems to me that he and his jackals control the military, the police, and the judiciary? Seems like a hopeless setup to me.

        Harris lost, so what’s Step 2?
