As if voting trump out is going to save that shithole. Democrats are not going to install a fascist regime but don’t believe they’ll fix things. The rich will get richer while the poor get poorer (and dumber still)

Step by step riodoro.
Imagine having peace of mind while your team promotes genocide.
Peak liberal privilege.
There's more than a couple reasons a lot of westerners don't really see Gazans as victims, some of them aren't even racism.
Would be way easier to argue their case if October 7th didn't go the way it did.
It was just a really bad decision.
I'm personally in favor of cutting ties with Israel as well, considering they've strayed so far away from civility and are indeed killing a shitload of people. But I have very little compassion for the people of Gaza, given what they largely want and support. They want to fight and thresh and kill until one side is dead and gone, and we all know which side that will be. Everyone knows, except them.
It was just a really bad decision.
Hamas made that decision, not the Palestinian people. Just like the executive branch is choosing to send over more weapons, not the US people.
Imagine not having peace of mind because must spew nonsense on Lemmy...
The last 10 years have been really mask-off for both parties.
It's not one team. It's not even both teams. All of America is built on genocide and slavery.

This person makes a great point. It's amazing how vapid and meaningless our common discourse has become. Long has it been since edifying conversation has been the norm.
The problem isn't Trump (in this case), the problem is social media. Get off social media. Find better alternatives. Even at the best of times, when are people ever having a civil conversation about art, movies, music, etc?
I don't use apps unless they allow creation of block lists. My news RSS app has loads of keywords blocked (including Trump, Harris, etc). My Lemmee block list is huge. Items like this post get through when they don't trigger my keywords, but this makes me think I really should add on "USA".
lol no: Trump will keep running until he dies and Ds will keep using him as a bogeyman

Over 5 of the top50 fortune-400 are us-american "healthcare" - companies amassing a combined profit of over 1.5t$ in 2024. Companies that should COST money for a civilized nation, not make a profit for a handful douches. But yeah, you guys are wondefully distracted by the clowns-election that would change nothing in either way, whichever clown gets to be the top-clown.
I find myself disliking him less this time around than I did in 2016, and I don’t exactly know why. Sure, there’s a ton I disagree with him on, but that applies to both candidates. I guess I have some sympathy for the people in the center who were pushed away by the left and ended up on the right.
No need to worry though - I’m not a US citizen, so I’m not voting for him.
