    Nah I’m going to blame 70+ million Americans who chose a racist, sexist felon, fraud, rapist fascist over a black moderate woman.

      I’m sure misogyny also played a big role in her numbers. But if Harris firmly opposed any material or diplomatic support for genocide, then she probably would have won despite the misogynists, no?

    The problem was the one-third of eligible people who didn’t vote, the people who wanted an immaculate president, and when they didn’t get it, took a stupid, petulant moral high ground. Abstention and voting in protest only helps the enemy.

    Anyone who thinks the Gaza situation or the treatment of muslims will improve under Trump is a fucking moron.

        So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.

        Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so

          Lol no “they’d” rather have a president who doesn’t materially support genocide, but seems like that wasn’t something people were allowed to vote for.

            In other words they didn’t want to chose the lesser evil so they were fine with either option

            Amazing decision.

              Or, it could mean they weren’t fine with either option? “We’re not quite as evil as the other guy” isn’t the campaign slogan you seem to think it is.
