      That’s not fair to voters. Two elections in a row the democrats put forward candidates who were way too far right, and essentially told everyone to suck it up and vote for them anyways. You can hardly blame people for not voting. I’m not American, but I don’t know if I would have voted in election either.

          I’m in Canada. Most of your democrats would have to run as conservatives here. And even Obama was drone-striking kids in the middle east, so maybe the lenses through which we look at the world are different.

          It’s not that they are far right, it’s that they are barely left if not dead center.

            This is why American politics are fucked.

            If Harris was president I guarantee you Israel would at least be restrained like they were when Biden was president.

            There’s a reason that fuck Netanyahu wanted Trump to win and it’s not because the two parties are the same.

              What restraint? Under Biden they killed countless and completely destroyed Gaza. Israel got everything they wanted from Biden who need I remind you supported Israel for 40 years while in the government.

                  For some reason a lot of people seem to think “putting conditions on defensive weaponry that can be withheld if they’re being misused too egregiously” and “no conditions, full-throttle, actively encouraging ethnic cleansing and war crimes” are the same.

                  I wouldn’t be surprised if Israel was propping up the “genocide joe” smear campaign the whole time. Do we think social media algorithms promoted that content organically, as if those algorithms are designed to show people content that they’re interested in over content that the titans want them to see?

                    Israel openly loathed Joe Biden which makes his Zionism and deference to them even more bizarre and infuriating.

      And what about the democrats who refused to put Trump in prison for trying to overthrow the government and raping children?
