    Aaannd…

    This is exactly why we are on our own. MAGAts are out to kill us/rob us, Dems are cowards that are more than happy to let us twist in the wind for whatever perceived benefit. A third party has basically no shot in our current system.

    We are screwed.

    • We always for violence. Not advocating because I don’t think we are quite there. But we should keep it in our back pocket and maybe remind the dems, whose addresses are easier to find then an ice agent’s, that we have it.

    Oh wow it’s like what both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King criticized about the “liberal” party members being a bunch of frauds is still the same 6 decades later.

    Shocked I tell you shocked.

    People are still assuring me Gaza would also have been magically saved if we had successfully voted in Harris.

      Yeah, trump is doing so much better than Harris ever would have! Remember when she said she was going to destroy the entirety of it’s people and open a golf resort with her name on the ashes! So glad trump is not doing that!

          Glad you kept your morals! Hope sacrificing the Palestinians was worth it! So glad they can die so you can hold your nose firmly up in the air. Keep telling yourself you did the right thing by allowing trump to take office.

          You’re such a good person!

            What did you do to hold Biden and the Democrats accountable? Forgot how many times the Biden administration vetoed ceasefire at the UN? Or how it sent bombs to Israel, and bombed Yemen to help it commit the genocide?

                There really is no difference for Gaza between a Trump or Kamala presidency. Genocide is genocide regardless if it’s fast or slow. The only real difference is now things are shitty in the US too instead of just Gaza

                  Didn’t Trump just divert 20,000 missiles to Israel that were intended for Ukraine? That seems like a different approach.

                People who wanted kids to run would’ve just kept voting Biden or Kamala. They were killing plenty of them. Don’t think Trump has even reached those numbers yet, although in his defense, he hasn’t been in office as long.

                  And the current administration is saying they want Gaza to not exist anymore. So round of applause to all you dumb ass mother fuckers, the extra children that are going to die and be displaced now sure are happy you get to feel self righteous.

            I voted Kamala, but I still understood why people didn’t. I saw it coming a mile away, while people like you plugged your ears and would rather ignore it. I was trying to save her campaign.

          • Lol are you saying that their deaths are inevitable?

            Ideally the US would, you know, stop sending weapons and condemn Israel’s actions, while putting pressure on other countries to do the same. At the very least.

          But when you’re fueled by greed and you don’t care about human lives and your only concern is to have more money and property…

          Because that’s the goal here… They don’t give a shit about others especially when they are not white… Well rich… But you get it…

          https://time.com/7212848/trump-gaza-own/

          So yes it’s about killing people to steal their land… Sound familiar? It’s just as important to understand the end goal…

          • Yes I’m well aware of these things. My point was that it’s a little silly to believe Harris would have been better purely on the basis that she wouldn’t develop the land for personal profit after helping facilitate the complete eradication of a people.

            I don’t think that’s what you personally believe, but it was not super clear from your original comment.

      No one is saying Gaza would have been saved had Harris won. What IS being said, is that we would not have had a side-order of illegal-deportation inspired riots in LA, a systematic stripping of many of our constitutional rights, the nearly complete reversal of all LGBTQ+ rights, a disassembled healthcare system, and the countless childish temper tantrums thrown.

      The rest of the world knows that both sides are NOT the same. You all need to quit pretending you have some superpower that enables you to see the unseen.

    As someone who has lived in the US (and travelled extensively), but is not a US citizen, this is the kind of stuff that makes me believe that sane Americans are unfortunately incapable of getting their country back from the oligarchs and the racists.

    If the Democrats were not corrupt and had balls (no sexism intended), they would be openly supporting the LA protests and trying to establish a Trump free zone in LA were Trump shills and lackeys would be interned and Trump “laws” would not be followed.

    Unfortunately, most Americans are only good at talking about freedoms and most are too lazy and corrupt to actually follow through.

      The same thing opposition to netanyahu’s genocide had to do with it.

      Not a fucking thing, but democrats like voting with republicans and need an excuse.

      If your talk about doing anything about it includes suggestions of violence, then you’re right. It’ll get removed. This isn’t the place for that.

          If you’d like lemmy to remain available, you’d understand that we need to remove posts/comments that advocate for violence.

          So, If you’re not willing to create your own personal social media platform where you can make your own rules, you’re going to have to follow the ones set by ToS.

            Appreciate the response.

            From my perspective, there’s a reason why we’re all using a decentralised, open source platform: to avoid censorship.

            Otherwise it’s just reddit with extra steps.

              The removal of comments that advocate for violence isn’t censorship. Because calling for violence is against ToS.
