I can't wait for Lemmy to shit all over anyone who puts their hat in the ring for 2028.
The pelestine crowd will make an appearance again or maybe this time Iran
Starting up again. Posts died down last year. Now the same rethoric and communication style appears to be rearing its head again.
Yup, when are you gonna learn?
You watched children be slaughtered with your taxes and your response was to defend Genocide Joe too the last minute, then cheer Killer Kamala's "most lethal military" promise. Damn right the "Palestine crowd" will let you know again that you're voting for fascist genocides and that we won't.
Put forward a viable candidate and we'll vote for them, until then, first they came for the communists and all that...
Not that elections are going to be held anyways.
So your response to “genocide Joe” was to vote in the worst president in American history who has killed millions during covid and his APPROVAL of the Palestinian genocide as well as personally raped multiple women and CHILDREN.
You might be a moron. Get help. You are a certified bot and a useful idiot for the pedophile party and Russian propaganda.
Of course not, I didn't vote for Trump... But his election is not on me, it's on you for voting for a non viable candidate we told you we're also not voting for.
Your lesser of two evils is not ours.
Not if you’re in St Petersburg or Moscow.
That's so original.
I'm a Palestinian US citizen who felt betrayed by the rest of America and said fuck it you deserve Trump, so I moved out, for what's it worth.
You cowards refused to not vote for Kamala because our children aren't human enough for you, and now you cowards refused to rise up and revolt as ICE is executing people in the street and orange man in collapsing the empire in real time.
Hope you survive the collapse of the petrodollar as it loses its reserve currency status, and the hyperinflation that follows a few years later.
So, a useful idiot to them and not a plant. I see you ran too. Not surprised.
Pretty privileged ay?
I’m not American.
Spare me the soap box. Netanyahu, Russia and Hamas used you to get Trump elected and you complied. You helped kill more of those kids than anyone voting Harris did.
Spoken like a true runner who ran when the kitchen got hot. Custard for spine and not much more for intelligence.
Daisies, tankie. No sympathy. You let your country down. I mean Palestine too.
Edit: don’t reply either. I have as much respect for you as I do ICE.
Yes very privileged to have my Homeland stolen, my family slaughtered, my people genocided, spend over 15 years struggling with immigration and paying lawyers to get the US citizenship so I can get a decent job with my education in the country that helped steal mine and make me a refugee in the first place, and when they started calling me a terrorist again and jolted my memory of the post 9-11 racism I experienced, and when it was apparent other Americans don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and will cheer a genocidal candidate calling for most lethal military, when it became clear ICE will be targeting unnatural citizens like me, when it became obvious that my neighbors would sit back and watch as the government collected me from my home, I gave up the life I built and all my friends and "ran", it was such a privilege.
You're oppressed, on the other hand, sitting on your ass and doing nothing meaningful as fascism takes grasp, and blaming everyone but yourself for failure to see your own cult's authoritarianism when Biden repeatedly bypassed Congress to fund his genocide, when he spread lies about seeing beheaded babies to justify it, or when his Himler literally had reporters dragged out by police for asking questions about Gaza in the press room.
I'm very privileged to rebuild my life in yet another country that's not mine, where I don't even have citizenship and might very well be kicked out at any moment, because again the US helps destroy and steal and prevents the reformation of my stolen Homeland. Instead both parties fully support the extermination of my people and both fund the building of literal themeparks on ancestors' greaves.
Which complicit European country are you from then? How much did your country assist in the genocide through diplomatic cover and propaganda distribution? How many people did your country arrest and continue to arrest for speaking up? Is it one of the many where the phrase "free Palestine" is now considered antisemitic?
You're not better.
You're are uneducated on this topic, but life a typical westerner, insist your limited viewpoint from whatever you've glanced at is unquestionably true. Anything to project your superiority.
I know, that's what I said. You have to throw every insult and justification to make it my fault to justify your lack of empathy, because we are lesser people.
This isn't for you then, it's for posterity. Fuck you, genocidal prick.
And for the record: I removed myself from the US so I can remove my economic contribution to the empire, as I couldn't live with the fact that my taxes directly funded the genocide of my people.

Disgusting.
