Good work Pro-Palestinian voters, you screwed your own people.
By the way, the US military will most likely gear up for a war against Iran. Yep, orders from Riyadh and Tel Aviv for another 20 year shit hitting the fan adventure doomed to fail.
The election wasn't decided by voters who cared about Palestine, I don't think.
No it was decided by Starlink.
Go back to your flat earth alek
That seems a little uncalled for. Just because the repugnicans gaslit is for the last four years about 2020 doesn't mean you get to lump anyone with suspicions in with them. They got to take their evidence to court. If the results are legitimate no one has anything to lose.
now can you tell me why electronic voting machines in swing states need to be connected to Starlink? The company notoriously owned by the man who bragged about how easy it would be to hack those same machines with "one line of code." The man who said he'd be going to jail if Trump didn't win. The man who has just been caught faking his million dollar Republicans voter registration 'lottery.' Or what Trump meant the various times he claimed he didn't need votes to win, or when he said he had an election day secret weapon? or why Elon knew the results four hours in advance? Or why MTG said on Fox two days ago the exact number of electoral votes Trump would have today?
There's a whole lot of oddities and inconsistencies. Denying them because you don't want to look like a conspiracy nut isn't helpful.
Are they though?
I read an article at some point in the last few days that said some were, for what it's worth. I'll try to look for it again.
I'd be interested in seeing that, yeah
This just got posted on not-Lemmy, it's also not the original article I read but mentions many of the same things: https://freespeechforpeople.org/computer-scientists-breaches-of-voting-system-software-warrant-recounts-to-ensure-election-verification/
This isn't the article I read but was the first thing that came up when I Googled: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/wrong-claims-by-musk-us-election-got-2-billion-views-x-2024-report-says-2024-11-04/
If you search "cyber security expert 2024 election hacking" you'll get links to some social media posts where experts are discussing what they think happened.
I know for a fact I read that some small counties had voting machines that we know can be hacked hooked up to Starlink, and it was hypothesized that if they did get hacked again an "if, then" code was used to fly under the radar and steal votes in a few key areas in swing states. I'll continue looking when I get a chance.
This one mentions starlink but also calls it a leftist conspiracy theory, which I disagree with: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-musk-trump-election-conspiracy-theory-spreads-online-1983444

Yes because I said so. Now gear up we have a capitol to storm.
How about good work democrats for not actively opposing the genocide? Like, why are you so quick to blame anyone but the shot callers, playmakers and plan writers? Genuinely.
Is turbo-genocide somehow better than regular old genocide?
No genocide is better. Turns out democrats supported genocide for nothing. There goes the narrative.
Democrats should be allowed to do a genocide
Nobody should be genociding, that's pretty obvious.
But would you prefer a little genocide or a big genocide?
I mean you personally, which one would you prefer?
The Democrats in power killed your family. You ask them to stop, and they look away. How do you wait in line to vote for them? It's not about they voted for Trump instead. It's about offering people whose vote you want, a reason to give it to you. Sorry your family died but we aren't stopping isn't that
I think my comment has been misinterpreted. Op said "good job" sarcastically. I too am using "good job" sarcastically. The Dems are the shot callers and play makers I am talking about. The ones deserving of blame due to their utter inability to denounce a genocide and instead promising to continue arming it.
putting aside the absolute disgust on being ok with “proper genocide” by harris, turbo genocide is always better. would you prefer a slow painful death from hunger & disease or blown instantly to pieces ?
people in gaza are starving and their medicine aid from UN was on purpose bombed by israel under biden during election time. even after that harris said her policy will remain the same.
and given the history of flipflopper harris i have absolutely zero doubt that she would have happily let israel burn everyone alive in gaza, westham and palastine for few more millions donations to her re-election campaign from aipac. she would have used her getting the presidency as lesser evil to brag america voted for her policy of genocide.
You know the West Bank isn't Gaza, right? And that it's much, much larger, no? You're seriously now arguing that more and faster genocide is better? You sick duck.
palestine in 1948 was larger but that didn’t stop anything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_Yassin_massacre even today hundreds of palestinian in wb have their home taken away by settlers at gun point, sometimes just grenades are thrown into the homes with children.
am i wrong? and what else i am supposed to do ? we call ourselves a democracy but in elections we don’t even get an option of not having a genocide even when 70% americans are against it and 90% democrats. the irony that our “democratic” party can just tell its entire voter base to stfu on such issues.
Ah okay so a turbo genocide gets your support because it is the more ethical genocide?
You're in luck, January 21st is coming for Palestine and you'll get your wish 👌
Cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds
did i say it gets my support ? my support will be to put both gop and most of dnc in solitary jail for life time for treason and war crimes. make them look at all the dead kids and homeless for rest of their life.
but hey instead i have to be content with “normal genocide” for a year only to have it upgraded thnx to dnc caring more about superpacs than voters.
