    I’ve seen this posted a few times and there’s always comments explaining how this is actually Biden’s fault.
    Don’t get me wrong, I know he wasn’t the best president but if anyone thinks he was as bad or worse than Trump, they’re delusional.
    I wish I was disappointed with another 4 years of an ineffective centrist who didn’t do enough to prevent the genocide.
    Instead we have to watch as we actively participate in, and facilitate, the acceleration of the extermination.

      Speaking of delusional: didn’t do enough to prevent genocide? Biden actively participated in genocide throughout.

      You mean a right winger who actively perpetrated a genocide.

      the acceleration of the extermination.

      What I’m getting is that you were a denialist about the extent of the genocide under Biden, and you’re only now willing to acknowledge it now that Trump is in.

      To me, the fact that millions of American libs will stop engaging in genocide denial now is a major silver lining to Trump’s election.

        Me, five months ago:

        If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.

        You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.

        If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?

          I’m seeing a lot of examples of liberals holding up the latest atrocities to go “haha, we told you Trump would be worse! I hope you enjoy Gaza being turned into a parking lot!”, and then it’s just exactly the same thing that was happening under Biden, they just didn’t acknowledge it then.

            And the fucking glee with which they celebrate genocide as penance for not voting blue no matter who. The Palestinian people aren’t your fucking plaything.
