Well... I do judge them for their choice in political party when that party's entire platform is built up on those things.

Many of those people could have been swayed to vote democrat if the democrats fucking addressed the actual fucking issues and actually gave them a damn narrative to go by. Saying everything is fine when nothing is fine and the Republicans are constantly screwing them over (while also 100% deflecting ALL blame elsewhere) is delusional at best.

Also fuck AIPAC.

My plan is to simply avoid ALL contact with MAGAs unless I'm forced to work with them. The same way you would avoid a meth-addled pit bull.

I'm not going to let them think their point of view is "fine" by pretending to be civil to them. It's not.

I judge them for being the most gullible dumbasses in the history of the world. How stupid you have to be to believe the shit that Trump says?

These are just the dumbest and most simple-minded people in the country.

Additionally, if you did not vote for Harris I will judge you.

This is the third fucking time Democrats have run with an establishment candidate.

I voted Harris but I knew she was a shit candidate and not who we needed to go against Trump. She couldn't even primary ffs.

The DNC is squarely to blame, every time people blame the voters and nothing fucking changes. You can't keep putting up generic neocon establishment hand-picked candidates and expect turnout.

I blame all the voters that were fine with voting for Trump first, because they looked at that shit stain and thought he would be acceptable as the leader of the country. The people that voted for him are the problem.

Harris still did a terrible job, sure. But a literal pile of dogshit should have been a preferable option to Trump.

Genocide is a redline for me, though I understand why to many Harris voters the mass slaughter of people halfway across the world is a non-issue.

[–] Atrichum@lemmy.world 4 points 26 minutes ago

Of course it's a fucking issue! Do you think it will be better now that Netanyahu got the person be wanted in the white house?! My god how short sighted are you!

Thanksgiving will be the real test if people really mean it.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

How so? My dad voted for Trump's fascism, but my mom did not. I am not going to avoid my mom just to punish my dad.

[–] FatCrab@lemmy.one 5 points 1 hour ago

Host Thanksgiving and only invite your mom.

I just feel like after a public rapist becomes president, twice, there's no hope for Americans. It really is hopeless by now.

The DOJ had four years to prosecute him under Biden and they dragged their heels.

The Southern District of New York had ample reason and opportunity to prosecute him as a mobbed to businessman in the '00s and '10s, but he was friends with the mayor so they didn't.

The Clintons certainly knew about Epstein in the 90s and could have busted that whole thing up 30 years ago. But the donations were too sweet, so they didn't.

Trump is a creature of consequences.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

But also much like most consequences at scale, those that pay the most of the price are not those who brought the consequences on

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

agree, no argument, just clarifying.

Less people voted Trump in 2024 than in 2020. It is not that Trump won, it is that Biden/Harris lost hard.

Trump: 74 Mio. in 2020, 73 Mio. in 2024

Biden/Harris: 81 Mio. in 2020, 69 Mio. in 2024

[–] FatCrab@lemmy.one 7 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

No. It is that Trump won with the support of over 70 million Americans. People are responsible for their choices. jfc

[–] Saleh 2 points 23 minutes ago

Trump didnt gain or loose many voters.

Biden/Harris lost a lot of voters.

So really the change between 2020 and 2024 is not a popularity increase for Trump, but a huge popularity loss for Biden/Harris.

Now the question is, how did Biden/Harris manage to be so unpopular, that 12 million people decided to rather risk Trump winning, than vote for them again?

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world -2 points 57 minutes ago (1 children)

Yeah, Dems should have been able to put a wet turd on the ticket and beat Trump. The people who voted for Trump are the actual problem.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 8 minutes ago* (last edited 7 minutes ago)

Doesn't your first statement imply that the dems flubbed an easy victory? Combined with the fact that Trump didn't gain many voters? If the election was supposed to be that easy to win, isn't it the dem campaign strat that is the problem? HEY WHITE WOMEN YOU LIKE LETHAL MILITARY?
