    Lol, no, I’m certainly not. I do what I can within my limited means although I’m sure I could do more. Sadly, just by virtue of voting, I’ve done more than the majority of my countrymen but I certainly am no paragon of virtue.

    I am a realist though. Realistically the Palestinian people would have been better off, or at the least not worse off, with a Harris administration at the helm.

    Regardless, the diplomacy would have been carried out by the statesmen in the background if she was in office or Trump - Trump just comes with massive baggage.

        Geez, calling me a morally bankrupt coward is just a tad bit mean, don’t ya know? Also doesn’t really address the actual real world we’re in where we are voting on an office which is making decisions that go far beyond only the tiny part of the world that is Israel/Palestine.

        Like I don’t know how naive and narrow minded one has to be to think a world with Trump in charge of the USA is better than the alternative.

        Like, obviously, if I could waive a magic wand I’d change a whole fuckpile of stuff about our government and our system of living as a whole. Unfortunately, presumably, much like yourself, I’m not magic.

          A lot of our friends here have only a mass-media understanding of American politics. And given that mass media is utterly terrible, it’s . . . a crooked understanding.

          I don’t owe civility to anyone making excuses for the fucking democrats, nothing about the “real world” requires you to accept their complicity in genocide you decided to do that shit on your own

                    Nah, I think a lot of people genuinely just also concern troll and are fake mad. Besides this is the internet, I don’t put much stock in what strangers on Lemmy have to say.

                    At the end of the day it isn’t worth worrying over or getting actually upset IRL because some dude has a bad take.

                    I mean also low-key fuck that person but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
