"Thoughts and Prayers"

Seems a fitting epitaph for America.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 month ago

This is called False Equivalency.

"Voting for Harris won't change this foreign atrocity!"

Foreign atrocity remains unchanged, but now you've got domestic atrocities.

"See! I'm helping!"

I don't get it. Are you happy Trump won, or...?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

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.

More Palestinians will die under Trump. More Americans will suffer under Trump. More people around the world will suffer with a Trump presidency. But at least you showed the democrats...

It's almost like the tankies just want what's bad for America and don't actually care about palestine or human rights.

What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths?
What COULD he do?

Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.

I don't disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that's not what this post is about

[–] Skydancer@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

[–] linkerbaan@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

The Generals plan is in full full force. Netanyahu has already fully cleansed north Gaza.

JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, it was worth Trump getting a second term in order for you to maintain your moral purity?

Listen, fuck Harris and every other Dem who failed to condemn the war in Gaza, they all deserve to burn in hell for that.

But did you really get what you wanted out of this?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 9 points 1 month ago (11 children)

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.

How did you think this election was gonna go? You think there was still gonna be enough votes for Harris? Or that by some miracle a 3rd party candidate was gonna be elected?

People with your mindset are just as guilty as the dems are. No weasling out of this shitpile were now stuck in

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 7 points 1 month ago (6 children)

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?

Happy Holocaust Harris ate shit

[–] linkerbaan@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

Hope for us outside the US is that you just keep your wars at home. Chances for peace in Ukraine increased at least

“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.
