    Just a reminder that Netanyahu was about to be convicted and probably sentenced to life in prison before the oct 7th attack happened and then the attack was used as an opportunity to declare martial law. Isreal knew from over a dozen intelligence agencies that the attack would happen.

      Oh, drop this shit already. When the Democrats run one shit candidate after another they are going to lose sometimes. Learn to live with it, or get them to offer better candidates. All this whining is getting pathetic.

        And when you spend an entire election cycle smugly both-sidesing to the benefit of a fascist, people are going to call it out when the fascist it helped win does the predictable fascist things everyone said they were going to do. Learn to live with it, or get better electoral strategies. The whining is pathetic.

          Have we met? What the fuck are you talking about about? Providing weapons and international support for an active genocide is not a great campaign strategy. You don’t win elections by claiming to kill less children than the other guy. No matter how true it might be, it’s not exactly going to lift grass roots enthusiasm.

          The Democrats let the party deteriorate to the point that Trump successfully ran as the peace candidate, and the workers’ candidate. It’s fucking pathetic that they just let him run away with that, but how do you counter it while supporting a genocide?

          I’m not whining, and I’m not living with it. I’m recognizing that the Democratic establishment is the first enemy that must be defeated before we have a chance to beat the Republicans. Until we have a changing of the guard, the gates will always be insecure.

            Yeah good luck with that, your logic is backwards. Republicans have to go first, coming to any other conclusion is absolutely batshit. You don’t change the guard in the middle of a siege, that’s how you get fascists in the castle. Oh look, that’s exactly what happened.

              What guard did we try to change? It was still Pelosi, Schumer, and Kamala Harris who literally ran on not changing anything from the Biden administration. There was no changing of the guard, and yeah, look what happened. Harris ran the perfect establishment campaign, we lost, and the establishment learned nothing.

              I voted for Harris. She let us down, not the other way around. Fuck letting them do it again. Even if they got elected, they aren’t up to governing this nation as it is now. They don’t have the backbone, the imagination, or the leadership to fix what they allowed Trump to do in this country.

              Republicans inspire anger and lead people to hate. Democrats inspire nothing and lead people nowhere. Then Democrats are surprised when they can’t win because people are angry and hateful. They drove the party and this country into the ground.

                Why are you telling us? You’re preaching to the choir here bud. Shockingly, lemmings do not determine DNC policy. If you want to complain about that, write DNC leadership. What lemmings can do is vote, and the top comment was directed at those who smugly "both-sides"ed Gaza to discourage voting for Harris. The push for 3rd parties or protest non-voting was an ill-conceived attempt to change the guard.

                The Democrats ran their party into the ground, but Republicans are to blame for driving the country into the ground. I cannot conceive of a good faith reason to target the uninspiring neo-liberals before the “populist” fascists.

                  Lemmings do determine DNC policy. We determined policy when we nominated Biden in 2020. I want to make sure the lemmings don’t do the same kind of thing in 2028.

                  The “both sides” thing is generally idiotic, but Gaza is not the ground I would choose to make that argument. Biden was arguably worse on Gaza, even as he pretended to give a shit about Palestinians. You do know it came out that all that pressure he said he was putting on Netanyahu was bullshit, right?

                  Third parties weren’t even a factor in this election. Harris would have needed almost every single third party vote (including the libertarians) to win the popular vote, and that wouldn’t have gotten her the electoral college.

                  It’s time for the lemmings to call the establishment to account. This is the time when we prepare for 2028, and we need to do everything we can to destroy the people driving the party into the ground. The people who backed Cuomo in New York are not going to save us.

        White lily cowards who care about their own fake moral certitude.

        Cutting the nose off to spite the face is so apt. You fucked over all the non-white heterosexual men in America, to ensure Zionist scum have even more free reign.

        I’m not whining. I’m enjoying every moment of this. I know you’re suffering. And if you aren’t yet, you will be soon. And I hope every one of you non-voters get what you voted for—fascist reign for the next 50 years.

          Who said I didn’t vote? I did vote. I voted for Harris, and she failed us. I was ready to get on the Kamala train, then watched day by day as she threw the election away.

          Gosh, with your attitude I just don’t get why Democrats don’t attract more voters.

              Did you see the same campaign I did? Of course she failed us.

              What exactly is the point of blaming voters anyways? Should we nominate better voters in 2028? Blaming the voters in politics is tantamount to giving up.

              Yes, American voters and, by extension, American culture has massively deteriorated. You won’t get any disagreement from me there. But then you have to wonder how we got this way, and neoliberalism is at the core of it. Neoliberalism is the soil for fascism, and the current Democratic establishment will never stop doubling down on neoliberalism.

                Hey bud, you know it would have been easier with Harris. Trump is a guarantee of ACTUAL fascism for the next 50 years.

                Biden should have stepped down early. Harris should have had to win a Primary. Everyone should have towed the depressing party line to prevent Trump from winning.

                2028? Really? Are you so delusional to think we will still be voting then? I’m very serious, we are super fucked. It’s over.

                  I explicitly said that I voted for Harris. Of course Harris would be better than Trump, in a myriad of ways. Why the fuck do you think you have to explain that to me?

                  Biden not stepping down isn’t a coincidence. It was a direct result of the entitlement of neoliberal politicians and the absolute disregard they have for the voters.

                  I’m not as certain of the overthrow of our election system as you are. Until the election doesn’t happen, I will act like it will. If it does happen, will you even remember how badly you got it wrong? I doubt it. You’ll probably go back to lecturing voters and thinking that’s how to win elections.

      It could actually stop the war, as it’s widely speculated that Netanyahu keeps escalating just to delay that trial.

      Obviously it’s morally bankrupt, and there’s plenty of other levers the US President could use to get the same outcome.
