Half of the voters voted for Trump, so no thanks, I don't want to have good relations with the US. I want to isolate them as much as possible.

Plus that he is the richest man alive by far. Plus that he is promoting the far-right in Europe. Plus that he did a Nazi salute.

You mean he said it while Biden was trying to persuade us that he was the one most aligned with Israel?

Who do you blame more? The DNC or third party voters?

…yeah afaik there’s pretty good evidence that trans folks wouldn’t be culturally eliminated under the Biden administration. Do you disagree with that assumption?

I agree with that assumption. The thing I believe though, is that the Democratic Party leaned too heavily on that instead of focusing on what actually matters. And they did that because that was the only platform they could run on. They wanted to protect the status quo. And as we've seen at the inauguration, that same status quo was in the room cheering for Trump.

The years ahead will be difficult for sure, but I am hopeful that what will come out of the ashes, will be something better.

Just don’t puff out your chest about claiming to have clean hands when, given the single most pronounced choice we have in determining government for the next cycle, you prioritized trying to maintain a clean conscience over keeping Trump out of the white house.

I am not trying to come up on top. I was just responding to the commentator who was blaming the pro-palestine crowd for not voting for Kamala. They should have blamed the DNC instead.

In seeking to protest a genocide, they have invited the start of a second genocide on our fellow citizens, as well as accelerated the original genocide they were protesting. These effects could’ve been seen from a million miles away.

You assume that the "second genocide" would not have happened under a Democratic leadership. Biden and Kamala gave Netanyahu free rein over Palestine. They placed red lines only to appease their base, and simply disregarded these lines when the Isreaeli government trampled over them. They smeared the protestors. They condemned the international courts, and they were cheering the genocidal maniac when he appeared before congress.

So no, I would never vote for this party. You might see DNC as the lesser of two evils. I just see it as plain evil, and I can't in good faith ever vote for them. As I mentioned before, they only used the rights of minorities as smokescreen, to avoid introducing any meaningful changes.

I will be able to tell my grandchildren I voted directly against the horrors they will be* learning about in history class. No need for supporting arguments about how doing otherwise was a more genuine rejection of this fucked up system.

So you did not vote for the government that facilitated the genocide in Gaza, and went above and beyond to protect Netanyahu, and fund his campaign of destruction?

The horrors did not start January 20, 2025.

Haha, we can agree to disagree. At least we seem to be on the same general team 😜
