    the donors of the Democrats/Republicans are doing a good job keeping the citizens divided and pointing fingers at each other

      Yeah, no.

      After months of alleged “Genocide Joe” bullshit, they don’t get to shirk themselves of this.

      They were told this was going to happen. They didn’t want to listen.

        Nothing alleged about Genocide Joe.

        Any vote for Harris or trump was still a vote for the war crimes to continue. The American people never had a say on this issue.

          And yet, this very article we’re commenting on is about war crimes getting worse.

          Almost like when your options are “bad” or “worse” you shouldn’t vote for “worse.”

            That sounds like some extortion. Not exactly something I would want to champion or believe to be a viable political platform

              That… is nothing the fuck like extortion.

              “Vote for me or I’ll release these pictures of you fucking your dog” is extortion.

              “Vote for me because my opponent will make this issue you claim to care about worse” is not.

              Life gives us hard choices. Whining that they don’t perfectly suit your pristine moral absolutism doesn’t change that.

          There are differences in degree between Trump and the Democrats, and anyone who claims otherwise is malicious or ignorant. But stick to your binary thinking and reflect on what you’ve done to the rest of us by putting Trump back into power.
