He’s just going to get people killed. But that’s ok he doesn’t give a shit anyways, so it’s moot. What are a few thousand dead peasants when we could make big stock number go up?

      Biden was the right vote over Trump, even on the issue of Gaza. However, it’s fucked up to minimize Biden’s culpability in the Gaza genocide this way. He wasn’t indecisive, he was complicit and was actively involved in helping Israel lie and obfuscate. Maybe we as a country deserve Trump, or maybe we don’t, but Biden and Harris did not deserve to win.

        I don’t agree with the last statement.

        There’s “continue with previously agreed weapons shipments to Israel” and there’s “let’s make Gaza a parking lot, invade Greenland, and ship these brown people to Guantanamo, citizens or not”.

        Biden/Harris were not perfect, but they were the proverbial one-eyed person… vs a blind donkey.

          Don’t forget that Trump is also talking about shifting control of Gaza to the US for some godforsaken reason (it’s beachfront property and his real estate mogul friends will make tons of cash building resorts on mass graves and skeletons).

          Context is important to discern meaning. Biden, the person, deserves nothing better than a jail cell. Harris too, on some level, though she’s not as directly complicit. I voted for Harris anyways, because it was worth accepting that grave injustice to keep Trump out of power.

            It was worth accepting that grave injustice to prevent and even bigger injustice.

            We warned against Trump not because we dislike the guy, or his hair or his ties, we warned people that Trump would be even worse than whatever they/you disliked about the Biden admin.

            It took him weeks to propose deporting 2M people from their own homeland and building a Trump hotel on the beachfront property left behind.

              Are you just reading every other sentence or something? I voted for Harris. I didn’t need you to tell me to vote for Harris. I’d rather see Harris in prison than the Whitehouse, but I’d rather see Harris in the Whitehouse than Trump.

              But, if we want to talk about warnings, I warned people like you that preaching at voters was more likely to make them stay home than vote for your candidate. Pointing out why Harris was better than Trump on Gaza was good, but the constant preaching and harassing attitude could easily have lost Harris the election. The fact that it didn’t end with the election is insane. It shows that your motivations were to virtue signal instead of helping Harris win.
