    I’m trans and I’m terrified, terrified for my queer friends and family, terrified for Ukraine and Palestine, and terrified for the planet.

    If you didn’t vote or voted for this piece of shit, fuck you. If you voted for him, you deserve the massive inflation and shit he’s about to put you through.

      I’m straight and white, and I am also terrified for my queer friends and family. I figured Israel was always a lost cause but Ukraine is going to be so fucking stupid and painful when they get starved after we offered support.

      If you didn’t vote or voted for this piece of shit, FUCK YOU

      What about the party that lost the election, quite possibly by choosing to enable a genocide further, as it deemed that more important than winning the election? What about the party, that chose to ignore the devastating effects of inflation on normal Americans, instead of providing a concise plan of revamping the economy, as that would anger its billionaire donors?

      Why blame the people instead of the Democratic party leaders, who remained steadfast at the side of the elites, leaving the people to be peddled to by Trump?

          Buckle to the top, kick to the bottom. And you wonder why the authoritarian politicians win…

              You are only proving it further. This kind of comments sounds just like MAGA voters. And that is part of the issue. How do you want to beat them politically, if you let them influence your political culture in their way?

                No. I’m tired of people on Lemmy that aren’t even American trying to tell us what to do in our own elections.

                I don’t go astroturfing in posts about your countries politics. So yes, you can fuck right off.

                  America tells other countries how to vote or we’ll overthrow their governments. Even in the 2020s we told South American countries “Elect who we want or we’ll cut off money and send in troops.”

                  The world watched America out of fear of Trump winning. Rightfully so. He’s a mad man who hates anyone but himself.

                  I’m not going to get mad at people who affected by who runs the world police, the biggest economy, the biggest armed forceds, an unconditional UN veto, and so many more things.

                  Trump is bad for everyone in the world. Makes sense people are scared and wanting to chime in.

                    Show me examples of people from the US here, on Lemmy, that tell you 24/7 what to do in your country.

          I would have been happy if the Dems had stopped supporting genocide, saving tens of thousands of lifes and then winning in a landslide.

          Thats what i advocated for for months. But the party would rather risk losing the election to Trump than stop sending weapons to a genocide.

        Well now you got what you wanted: the hero to end the genocide. Any minute now they’ll stop the war effort, for fear of further angering the fuhrer

          Well i guess the 130ish Million people who voted for more genocide got what they wanted.

          And we warned this would happen.

          Because the pro Israel people had a safe vote with Trump. Harris trying not to take a strong stance, while further enabling the genocide tough, alienated people.

          Now the silver lining is that Democrats have a chance to learn, that being against genocide is the only stance a supposedly progressive party can take. But they rather risked and chose to loose the election instead of being steadfast against genocide.

          But you can already see here how people are blaming black and Arab voters. The white supremacy runs deep in both parties, so the idea that anything would have changed under Harris is laughable.

            The Democrats having the chance to learn is going to be of limited use if Republicans build the fascist autocracy they intend to build.

              Unfortunately they chose not to learn during the past 8 years.

              They repeated most of the errors they did in 2016, while Trump just did Trump again. That is also why i say the blame lies with the party leaders. This was preventable with setting the right priorities.
