    Our two party first past the post voting system and its long and fraught history lead to some minority percentage of the US population getting their dude into power. Over a guy in his 80s apparently blind to genocide who passed the torch to <checks notes> a former prosecutor with a “tough on crime” persona who spent a lot of time hobnobbing with celebs and saying everything was going fine, including the genocide. That is true.

      I think you and your ilk are going to come to the conclusion soon that the gamble y’all played this past election is going to blow up in your faces.

      we won’t be your pawns to sacrifice.

          I don’t know but judging by your disdain for Harris I would guess you didn’t vote at all. that’s at least what 20 million Americans did in November.

      Oh yeah, the Genocide. I forgot about Trump’s incredibly pro Palestine stance on things.

      Also, news flash, who fucking cares. It sucks people are dying, but that entire area has basically been at war endlessly since the dawn of time because every fucking religeon wants to be the only one in control of the “Holy Land.”

      They pretend its something else, but at the end of the day, its just more endless killing in the name of some Sky Daddy bull shit.

      Hobnobbing with celebs, pretending to be tougher than they are, and lying about their own success. Three things Donald Trump has never done.
