"How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"

My dude, nobody said there was a good option. The choice was a bad option, and a much worse option. Bill Clinton doesn't matter since he has nothing to do with the government. Harris at least paid lip-service to stopping Israel; Trump said he wants Bibi to "finish the job."

And the kicker is, one of those two choices was going to win and if you don't vote for the bad option, the much worse option wins by default.

Unfortunately, this whole election can be summed up as: everyone not named Trump voted against their best interests.

Blinks

That... is nothing the fuck like extortion.

"Vote for me or I'll release these pictures of you fucking your dog" is extortion.

"Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse" is not.

And people in the community were warning for months that this was the consequence of refusing to denounce genocide

And they were told, repeatedly, that Trump would be worse. Guess what happens now?

But somehow you only want to blame the racial and religious out group who can’t even be credibly blamed for losing the election.

Trump improved his margin across nearly every single demographic, so there's plenty of blame to go around. But in a comment thread about Muslim voters feeling buyer's remorse, I'm not going to talk about the white men who get fed shit from the manosphere podcast space, or the ghost of Phyllis Schlafly infecting women across this country to vote for the party that wants to take their rights away, or that when Trump was talking about Latino immigrants he was talking about them and not those other immigrants. It's called "context."

You guys were claiming for months they weren’t important and should be ignored

Nope, didn't say that. I said that when your choice is token lip service about maybe stopping Palestinian genocide, and making the genocide worse, that you should vote for the former, because otherwise you'll get the latter. Which is what happened. Congratulations, you told the Dems you weren't going to vote for them, and now are surprised they ignored what you wanted.

And yet, this very article we're commenting on is about war crimes getting worse.

Almost like when your options are "bad" or "worse" you shouldn't vote for "worse."

Then maybe they should have listened when they were told that this was the exact literal consequence of voting emotionally.

Man, Americans are so fat even our leopards overeat.

1. Immigrants commit crimes at much lower rates than citizens in the US. Probably because they're afraid of deportation, so they don't do anything to draw attention to themselves. Also because they want to be here and participate in society.

2. The overwhelming number of terrorist acts committed on US soil is done by white conservative men.

Got any more racist talking points?

No, they love the boot on their face, as long as someone they hate also has a boot on their face.

You literally just blamed "crime" and "terrorism" on immigrants.

My dude, that's racist as fuck, and the exact same bullshit the fascists in the US say.

Next question.

Yeah, no.

After months of alleged "Genocide Joe" bullshit, they don't get to shirk themselves of this.

They were told this was going to happen. They didn't want to listen.

The big question will be whether or not anyone cares who has the ability to do anything about it.

Okay, but since you haven't established birth order, that could be either a really good rule or a really bad one.

I honestly don't know if I prefer "everyone dead" or "living in Christofascist hellscape".

Yes, but we're not talking about conservatives.

The Democratic party has a problem, and that problem is what Democratic voters want doesn't align with what Democratic donors want. The voters want progressive policies passed, while the donors want the same neoliberalism that keeps them rich. And trying to appease one of those groups obviously alienates the other.

If any Democratic politician truly wants to help the American population, the fact that Kamala raised so much money in such a short amount of time, and the fact that many states passed progressive policies even though they voted for Trump, should tell them that they don't need to kowtow to the wealthy because the voters will support them. Unfortunately, I don't think they're going to learn that lesson.

Republicans, of course, don't have this problem because their voters and their donors all want the same thing.

I hope Cheryl Hines divorces him soon… unless she thinks she can coerce his decision-making.

He's been humping Trump and saying the crazy shit for months now. She's either one of the dumbest, most oblivious women on the planet, or she supports this bullshit.

Yeah this sucks, but on the other hand, it'd be much harder for Vance to 25th Trump if Trump's cabinet are all personally-loyal toadies.

That's what I'm choosing to believe, anyway.

Don't worry, you'll get your own front row seat next year if Poilievre wins.

Kamala raised over $1 billion dollars for her campaign, most of which was from small donors.

If that doesn't tell the Dems they don't need oligarch money, nothing will.
