    OP, per Rule 4, for accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcript in the post body.


    Edit: Counting this as a warning for future posts, OP, but since you might not be here to address this, a transcript in a comment as a lesser substitute:

    This creator posted on Election Day 2024: "Punish the democrats for their passive response to the genocide in Palestine. If there ever was a party who should have stood firmly against it, we would’ve assumed the Dems. They proved otherwise. F Kamala Harris. Hope she loses.” [truncated URL to the post here]

    This is what will keep happening if the Dems election strategy remains “if you don’t vote for us you get that asshole”. And use them as an excuse not to do anything.

    Putin trolls are fueling dissent on both sides to create polarization in the West.

    I mean, she’s right. Dems are supposed to represent the ideological opposite of Cons, both domestically and internationally.

    Of course, US foreign policy has always been uni-party, so there was never a chance that the Dems were going to concede. Despairingly so.

    I voted for Kamala, but she didn’t everything in her power to destroy the momentum she got after Biden dropped out.

    If people are unhappy they vote for the party not in power. Social media is much better at making us all unhappy than happy. I don’t think we will see a 2 term president for a while.

    I’d understand or join with the lefty never-voting-anti-capitalist tankies if they had a plan, or a strategy, or a goal, or a coalition they were building towards. But there is nothing. No movement, no goals, no aims to achieve political power. It’s all virtue signaling. We have people from Syria and Palestine literally begging the lefties to cease their rhetoric because it’s causing more harm than good. But the reality is lefties aren’t interested in solutions. They want to feel good about their online social media activism and watch Hassan Piker stream from a luxury hotel in Cuba while 90% of the country goes without electricity. That is the peak american socialist movement.

    The fall of democracies is filled with infighting between the people who oppose the regime.

    Americans are idiots and colonial terrorists so this is extra bad. They got played so obviously by the people they are now helping by shitting on the opposition

    I love how disenchanted voters complain about a 2 party system but fail to realize that in a democracy changing that is on them. It takes time, money, and lots hard work to build a viable 3rd alternative. Dems and GOP have zero incentive to help that process.

    the republicans need punishment more than any party.

    also the democrats don’t even want to win so forcing them to serve a term and actually have a fucking job is the greatest punishment you could ever inflict upon them.
