For all Americans here, don't forget the results don't matter much, the fight continues and bourgeois democracy will never truly represent you anyway.

if trump wins do libs immediately pretend to be pro-palestine?

[-] trashxeos@lemmygrad.ml 45 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

No, they're going to double down on pro Israel talking points and blame the Tankies and our *checks notes* belief that humans shouldn't be genocided, for not voting for genocide enough.

Ugh I wish there was a way both of them could win 🥺💕 I just like them both so much! Best of luck to the both of you 🥰

[-] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever the outcome, we can be proud that everyone gave 110% and did their best! Hopefully there won't be any hard feelings, and they can shake hands with the winner after.

Honestly man I can't even say I am shocked. Saw it coming from miles away.

[-] juchebot88@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

You mean to say that --

  • switching candidates halfway through the election

  • having your replacement candidate be one of the few people somehow less popular than Biden

  • having said candidate go around openly endorsing genocide

  • telling leftists to ignore this, because genocide isn't really a big deal

-- isn't some kind of winning strategy to Unite the Left?

If the election of a single person can spell the end of your “democracy,” how democratic really was it in the first place?

Looking forward to getting over all this crap so people can finally start campaigning for the midterms immediately

[-] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 4 weeks ago

Unfortunately since trump is probably gonna win, we're gonna have at least a month of liberal meltdowns pointing the fingers at russia, the green party, muslims, etc.

[-] chesmotorcycle@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 4 weeks ago

After which time, here's hoping they don't dare to call themselves The Resistance again.

Honey, wake up, new narrative just dropped.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fake-bomb-threats-linked-russia-briefly-close-georgia-polling-locations-2024-11-05/

If only the evil Russians didn't email bomb threats, Kamala would have won. :( Damn you, Putin! You win again you dastardly villain!

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 3 weeks ago

She not only lost, she lost big. A few bomb threats didn't make the difference.

Well… dems on Twitter are salivating over a completely flattened Gaza as revenge for their loss. Very cool…

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yup. Saw a few of them already saying they look forward to buying property in ethnically cleansed Gaza/West Bank.

Also this:

They really cannot keep their masks on can they?

To them anti-fascism is just a vibe, and social justice causes just an aesthetic, a way to signal team loyalty. When push comes to shove and they get scratched, all of their feigned sympathy with the oppressed goes out the window and they become foaming at the mouth Nazis indistinguishable from MAGA.

Claudia was on my ballot which was pretty cool. I've never actually voted until now and this is probably a one time thing but I do like being able to vote for someone I actually like and agree with.

I also wants to see libs mald over people voting 3rd party

Last night I watched an "election special" episode of This Hour Has 22 Minutes (a Canadian political comedy, I think it's the only one).

2 things:

Do "democratic voters" not see anything wrong with the "democracy ends if Trump is voted in!" line? Like, if a candidate/party/etc. is so bad that it could spell the end to your country, and your electoral system allows those sorts of politicians to not only have a platform but a real shot at power, shouldn't you be concerned that the people you are voting for have done nothing to bolster your democratic institutions? How is it so hard to see that saying "he's the literal devil and must be stopped!", while doing nothing to protect "democracy" is just political theater and you are being played for fools who must choose which cult to be a part of?

Thing 2:

OMG THINGS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT I know a comedy show cherry picks photos and videos, but do Americans not realize that the cult of personality surrounding two politicians IS NOT NORMAL!? It gives me the same kind of ick I felt when I was a teen visiting a friend's Pentecostal church, everyone started speaking in tongues as we surrounded the altar (or whatever it's called) and some middle aged white man put is hand on my shoulder from behind and started praying or chanting or something.

I'm usually psychologically resilient when it comes to Capitalism and empire because I have developed some level of understanding. But the crazy cult gatherings I saw.... That gave me feelings of dread and sadness I haven't experienced in a long time.

On the plus side it did help me see just how far along the empire is towards its collapse into irrelevance.... But why do they have nukes? Like damn....

I hope y'all in the usa have a pleasant day, find new comrades to organize with, and experience health, happiness, and safety.

if Dems win: wow our strategy of catering to the "moderates" and conservatives estranged by Trump worked!

if Dems lose: wow we didn't cater to the "moderates" or conservatives estranged by Trump hard enough. Gotta go harder next time.
