Anyway, I wonder how Palestine is doing.
Why are you so upset over people who have no representation in government? Those with no voice. Your gleeful celebration of the disenfranchisement of others is your blue MAGA showing.
Are you a bot?
Honestly dude, I cannot fucking believe people thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala.... I just don't fucking understand how so many people can come to that conclusion, unless I really think about it, and then the reasons are all so sad and stupid. I swear to god the main reason, above racism, above hate, above the propaganda of the election cycle, the main reason he won over Hillary and then Kamala is that he had a TV show for many years. A lot of people over look the simple fact that in the American psyche, being on TV is validating, or at least it was when Trump was elected, before everything went upside down. People will stay in the same shitty town and keep the same toxic relatives in their lives for their wholes lives vs finding people that they actually harmonize with because they're familiar. People who grew up in shitty households find partners like their shitty parents because the shitty behavior is familiar. "Familiar" feels like family. Trump was a household name, and some people didn't even know Kamala had been swapped in half way through the election season. So they trusted Trump when he'd lie because he's familiar, but they distrusted her when she seemed to avoid a subject because she's unfamiliar and so inherently suspicious. They should have both been suspicious af, but he had a TV show and was president once before so they trusted him more.... which is very fucking stupid.
Few did. Those of us who knew that people would stay home because of it tried to warn everyone that if Harris didn't change course, she would lose. Centrists didn't want to hear any of it. They either didn't believe us or didn't care because they wanted genocide so badly that they were willing to accept trump.
And I fully expect someone to reply to this by trying to convince me to vote for her even though I did and the election is over.
Trump had a tv show ?? new shit has come to light
Nobody actually thought Trump would be better for Palestine. The ones that said they did were bots.
Are you saying bots are pointless? They may have introduced the idea to the discourse, and they certainly amplified the signal, and I believe they succeeded at incepting the idea to many people.
They didn't say bots are pointless, they said bots aren't people.
Yeah, I think you're hitting on something important. This is probably also why people living under dictatorships sometimes approve of their dictator. The devil you know.
It's called propaganda, and it sure worked. Divide and conquer.
His image as a "good businessman" is unshakable because of The Apprentice, where he played a good businessman on TV.
Oof. Cringey mod censorship.
What is this, Reddit?
Honestly, the "Be excellent to each other" rule is just asking to be abused by selective enforcement.
Just like on reddit, where "be civil" means "don't sass the nazis."
Except Holocaust Harris would've lost even if she received literally every single third-party vote, even including Libertarians who usually swing right.
But when have basic facts like elementary-level math ever stopped Blue MAGA?
EDIT: Downvotes also don't change basic math 🕴🏻
Basic math or not, you failed to respond to the actual claim and thus failed basic logic yourself. It wasn't just third party votes, the poster also included those that stayed home because of this profoundly bad idea that not voting for Harris would lead to anything good.
Voting for Harris also would not have lead to anything good
didnt read that
You couldn't because of mod censorship.
Looks like Reddit mods also get banned then come here to satiate their superiority complex.
Must have hit a nerve with a 3rd party spite voter. Sorry, not sorry.
Why would you, you're not here for a discussion. You replied in a chain with similarly long comments, did you even read those?
Nope. Don't need to have a greater context to state basic math.
