US providing political cover for the genocide exhibit no. 5432468425

Well at least we didn't elect that terrible genosider who repeatedly spoke against it.

That's quality political action, "lefties". Kudos. I look forward to more vitrolic spluttering and continued lack of any concrete plan as the fascist state bears down on us all.

As someone who has family in Gaza go back and listen to her again from my shoes. Every “sympathy” sounds like a thinly veiled threat. “Your pain will end when Israel is secure” was her primary messaging. Which we all know what that means.

Also, Trump is a symptom not a cause. He’s absolute ridiculousness and the world knows it, yet there he is with people taking him seriously. You think he magically rose and took all that power alone in a vacuum? If it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. That system is clearly beyond repair and Trump has proven it. Gloves off.

I'm sorry about the family, obviously. It's horrific and I hope everyone is as okay as they can be in such a situation.

I didn't get that messaging from her, but I can see how not being stridently aggressive towards Israel would sound like that.

It's just the fact that trump is much much worse and this would not be the case under a Democratic president. It wouldn't be magically resolved but it would have been much better in almost every way possible.

It's also the case that trump has benefited from a massive deployment and embedding of propaganda in all aspects of American life. The political system is not beyond repair, but it can't be repaired with media in the state it's in.

It’s not leftists fault Kamala lost. It’s on Kamala who would be as genocidal but with better aesthetics. Why would leftists care who won between the two anyway. Let’s be adults lol.

Indeed. The exact same evisceration of institutions and instant descent into martial law was just what Harris was going to do anyway. “Lefties” were way ahead of the curve on that one, for sure.

If both just continued with politics of increasing wealth inequality it was inevitable. Poor people need scapegoats.

If you’re not going to address root causes of what’s happening it’s like trying to change how river flows with a stick. Politicians know it too.

If you are this out of touch with reality, you guys deserve trump.

Fuck you and your genocidal pieces of shits politicians. Kudos on falling for the identity politics. Fascism was well on its way before you were born, it didn't just manifest itself out of thin air in 2024. Your country has always been "for the rich, by the rich." It's only more brazen.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Your country

Ahhh that's the stuff. Thanks Dmitry!
