    Since the Democrats didn’t give every single thing on the bLuEmAGa screechers wishlist, ofc Trump was the perfect alternative!

    Definitely not an example of letting perfection become the enemy of good or anything!

    Edit: To whoever replied to me, but probably has me blocked since I can’t see it (only the reply counter) unblock me if you’re going to reply to me, coward!

      Letting perfection become the enemy of good? Good is funding a genocide?

      Also, I’ve never blocked anyone.

              One of Biden’s last acts this month was to approve another few billion for Israel, and Harris said repeatedly she wasn’t gonna do anything different from Biden’s admin. It wasn’t gonna be better for those kids if she won.

                One of the first things Trump did was reverse the Biden policy regarding sending 2,000 pound bombs to Israel, and he has talked about “clearing out” Gaza. Trump’s policies are already objectively worse.

                  Yeah, duh. Of course he’s worse on this.

                  But it’s silly to act like “His version of the genocide is worse than our version of the genocide” is anything but a fucking exhausting and demoralizing conversation

        My b, you somehow got blocked on accident as I also never block anybody.

        Anyways

        Good is funding a genocide?

        There was keeping the status quo at worse (Harris) and then there was throwing the dial to 11 and opening new potential genocide fronts right here in America! (Trump)

          Oh no worries, I probably said something stupid at some point.

          I completely agree with everything you’re saying except that the Harris campaign was good. There were no good choices this election, there was just an objectively wrong one. I voted for Harris anyway because trump is obviously worse by far, I think I’m just still pissed at her milquetoast center right campaign.

            As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, I wonder if people like them think that anyone who criticized Harris/the campaign didn’t vote. I know A LOT of hardcore leftists that are left of even me and every one of them voted. Some would maybe not say it out loud in a group, but they all did just in case Trump had the votes lol. It’s a shame they sacrificed their morals not only for Harris to lose, but now they’re also being blamed for it. If people had anti lib energy the way they had anti leftist energy, we’d have M4A by now lol.

        1. Those idiots didn’t know going into the election that their vote wouldn’t affect the outcome, but they did it anyway.

        2. Protest voters could conceivably include people who protested by not voting, and they most certainly affected the outcome.

          Protest voters were young people, who voted the exact same as every other election. They don’t vote.

          If you want to engage with reality and look at the data you would see that the groups that voted for Biden and not Harris were older white men/women, and older hispanic men. Most likely because of the instilled patriarchal values and machismo culture of these groups made it hard to stomach voting for a woman with the same policies as the white man they voted for.
