    it was not rigged. the voters didn’t like Biden Harris or the situation in Palestine along with the fact nothing major changed. We fought and voted, where are the politicians helping? And now we’re here

      This might be a hot take and I have nothing backing this up but: I don’t think the average US voter gives a fuck about the Palestinians or the US support of Israel. The people who do are a vocal but tiny minority, even among Democrat voters. That minority still likely voted overwhelmingly for Kamala. I just don’t think the Israel Palestine issue had any affect at all on the election. If you look online, you’d think it was the single biggest failure of the Democrat party. Which…it is, morally speaking. But I don’t think it decided the election. I’d love to be proven wrong but I think Americans don’t care about foreigners.

        Yeah, to me personally as a non-American, it looks a lot like issues like Palestine were just the excuse for certain fence sitters to support who they really wanted to support but with justifications and less guilt. In fact, Trump even suggested nuking Palestine in the months leading up to the election and I barely heard a peep about it from the Palestine crowd because they were too busy trying to convince everyone to not vote Democrat.

        I think that the main reason Trump won is because his opponent was a woman who also has brown skin. Anything else is just scrambling for excuses and justifications so that they don’t have to look in the mirror and be ashamed of what they see. Because anyone that actually has at least half a brain could see from a mile away that one side was bad but the other side was much, much worse.
