    I watched it so you don’t have to.

    1. They voted Trump and Stein.
    2. They still think Trump is bluffing.

        Edit: fixed wording.

        They “believe Trump is bluffing. He’s using this proposal as some sort of the negotiation tactic. This is not going to happen”. Direct quote. That’s it.

      Anyone who didn’t vote (but could) or voted 3p has to start making major apologies to their American brethren. They are partly responsible for the millions of Americans currently wondering if they’re going to be alive in 4 years, the thousands uprooting their lives to move to a saner country, and those stuck in paralysis as they figure out their next move.

      The DNC also needs to get its shit together and apologize for caring more about courting the fictional “undecided” than energizing their own base.

      Anyone who voted Trump may as well be dead to me, like a good Nazi should be. I don’t care to hear from them ever again, about any topic.

      I am beyond furious. I’ve spent 25+ years fighting for my right to exist as a transgender immigrant. I’m in the process of getting my next ticket out of here, and even if the US resolves its shit, I don’t think I ever want to return. I’m still mourning the friends, community, and great life I had prior to this.

        The greatest democracy in the world is facing its biggest challenge since the civil war and you’re up here labeling and dividing, labeling and dividing, like you haven’t learned a fucking thing

          Just apologize. What is it so hard?

          The divide was created by your choices. Apologize and all os forgiven. Continue and remain part of the problem.

          The choice remains yours and no one is going to wait for you. We’re going on without you. Sorry, not sorry but you’re not invited.

            ‘It’s the Dems fault for fielding such a low quality candidate. I know, let’s vote a proven grifting, impeached, convicted felon insurrectionist rapist who said he’d finish Gaza instead! Oh wait, I’m holding my breath until they do. What could go wrong?’

              And the subtext is ultimately that trhy cannot be trusted to do the needful. There is no room for people who have sowed division and refuse to accept it.

              With where we are, I am having doubts that them accepting their role is not enough.

              They do not have my trust. All indications are that they will do it again. And I suggest everyone consider the same.

              Note how I suggest it rather than demand it or bismirch anyone that disagrees with me? This is a quality they do no appear to have.

              The longer they hold out the more clear it is that they were never allys. It has a tone to it that resonates with that of the companies that dropped their LGBTQ support. A lack of shame.

        No. The system is what is is. The politicians are what they are. All it boiled down to was a simple choice. And they even managed to fuck that up. The kids need to grow up.

        No. That’s a child’s take. He has published documents stating his support for Israel. Anyone who though he was going to be more pro Palestine are stupid children. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

      You were so right, let me tell you about it. If you can’t stop the entire genocide, then don’t stop it at all. If you can’t stop all of climate change, then don’t take any steps to stop any of it. If you can’t end poverty or income inequality then you shouldn’t even help the starving.

      What a cunt.

        If they wanted my vote the Democrats should have asked for it. They made it clear they didn’t care about my vote 🤷 Why would I vote for someone who doesn’t care about me?

        It just came out today that they purposefully mislabeled voters who cared about Gaza so that they could easily ignore them.

        Anyway, I don’t think Democrats care if Trump wins. They seem perfectly happy to lose elections

        Enjoy your continued delusional commitment to a loser party

      Im so glad we let a fascist in who’s planning to sell the U.S. for parts to the highest bidder. Thank God people like you were here to be sanctimonious. I guess when we are being marched to work camps you can smile at all that hard work you put in watching it happen bcz Harris didn’t pass your purity test.

          If you didn’t vote for Harris you helped Trump win. You don’t have to like the system, but that’s what it is.

            Sure, blame voters and not the Democrats themselves. They refused to listen to their most passionate members; they replaced a doddering old corpse with a washed-up wannabe who couldn’t win a primary in previous elections (and who loves cops); they refused to say a bad word about Israel organization Natanyahu while he killed and maimed a generation of children in Gaza; they ran into the loving arms of war criminal Dick Cheney to attract people from Trump’s party.

            Why would I reward them with my vote? Do they think I have no self respect?

            And then look how they blew all their campaign money. Look how they alienated their most passionate supporters. Lots of people who knocked on doors and called telephones in 2020 stayed home this time

            I truly believe they didn’t care if they won or lost.

            Your only rebuttal is “Orange man bad”

            Well guess what? Democrats aren’t good either

      Yup, what a perfect time to show those damn Democrats a lesson at the polls! Couldn’t have done it at midterms after MAGA imploded on itself, likely doing mass amounts of damage to the GOP as a whole after another loss or anything. No sir, it’s SO MUCH better now that they’ve been emboldened, it’s just what we needed! Now we can spend the next four years focusing on President Musk instead of RCV voting reforms! Perfect./S

        I don’t. I fucking hate him. I hate all these people in our government. They’re all ghouls who are unfit to hold even the office of dogcatcher. Kamala Harris too. I wish they’d all get on a rocket and be launched into the sun together
