They’re fictional, so I guess they work however the writer wants them to.

So 4 out of every 5 black voters voted against Trump.

Well shit, Janelle, maybe you should have asked the lava frog before posting his picture on Twitter.

When a better outcome is possible, but fails to happen, everyone who would have preferred it but did nothing to contribute to the effort is at fault. Had Kamala Harris won, a peaceful solution would not yet be achieved, but would still be possible. Now that Donald Trump has won, a peaceful solution is no longer possible. Is that what the people who stayed home or voted Green want?

Edit: the other stuff I said was kind of mean, so I took it out.

Because we live in the real world where we recognize that Trump or Harris were going to be the next president, and Harris’ ambiguity on Gaza and susceptibility to pressure from Democrat voters is, while not ideal, still better than Trump’s open lust for Muslim blood and complete indifference to what pro-palestinian voters want.

This is like saying “my vote doesn’t matter, it’s not like the candidate I would have voted for lost by a single vote”

“Their votes alone didn’t swing the election” and “Their actions were the opposite of helpful in preventing genocide” can both be true.

The meta verse was kinda fun to talk about, though. Because it was a train wreck.

“It’s time for us to hunker down and wait for the peasants to run out of energy, then go back to business as usual.”

I expected someone to be evangelizing for Linux as an alternative to enshittified Windows.

Shocked this thread is an hour old with no mention of Linux. Whoopsie.

Dear Green Party voters: the fascists thank you. The Palestinians those fascists will kill don’t thank you.

We could have had funniest moment of the year if authorities seized his Mercedes while he was voting.

You guys probably feel pretty powerless watching the US elections from other countries. If it helps, those of us who live here feel pretty powerless too. Even those who live in swing states, from what I hear.

Still voted, though.

Maybe. I’d prefer we give her a year or two to see how progressive she’s going to be. We’re forced to work within the Democrat party for now, and if we’re seen as a bunch of malcontents, centrist Democrats will see that as an excuse to reach out to more “gettable” moderates and conservatives instead

Biden calling Trump voters garbage was a gaffe. His own office walked it back. It’s way easier to depart from the president on a throwaway line than on a year-long policy that an all-too-large and ignorant chunk of the population still supports.

I’m not satisfied with her public position on Gaza so far, either. But, since the notion that Trump will make anything better is ridiculous, the only plausible course is to get her in office and then pressure the shit out of her.

And in case anyone’s thinking it, the idea that Jill Stein successfully spoiling into a Trump victory somehow means he’ll take her foreign policy advice is magical thinking.

I agree. I’m just hoping they’ve made the calculation that remaining ambiguous on Gaza is a better electoral strategy, and once in office she doesn’t intend to spit in the faces of her base the way Biden has.

It’s her or Trump, and there’s zero chance Trump will make things better, so anyone who cares about Gaza and has a realistic outlook on the situation should support Harris.

Can’t remember at the moment what it’s called, but there’s a law making it illegal for the US to support war crimes. If the president ceased aid to Israel on those grounds, congress would have to be unusually united to override it. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but it’d be a difficult fight to pick when Israel is being so brazenly genocidal.

Easy, they refuse to believe her.

After all, if she didn’t sow discord by pointlessly undermining the president while an essentially powerless Vice President, she must love genociding brown people even more than Trump does somehow.
