No idea why anyone that’s not racist, sexist, or has a reasonable level of intelligence is still on that site.

My friend was way into it for news directly from journalists and had been on the site since the beginning. As soon as Trump’s victory was secure he deleted his account and moved to BlueSky.

Time to leave that site to the deplorables and move on.

You’re a fool that changes the topic of discussion when you find yourself losing an argument.

To be honest, I could give a fuck less about the opinion of some loser that thinks Biden’s COVID response was worse than Trump’s. You aren’t an intelligent person, and therefore your opinion means less to me than nothing, because it holds no value.

The literal ex-commander of the Gaza division doesn’t share your denialism. about Israel’s chances.

Gonna need more than the opinion of an ex-commander. I’ve heard a lot of ex-military say things. Look at Michael Flynn. Not exactly an icon of honesty and trustworthyness.

Like I said… you give white supremacism a lot of credit.

That’s because history has taught me to be very, very concerned with the capabilities of organized white supremacism.

It’s almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.

This seems like an emotional opinion.

Lol. You didn’t just move the goalposts. You put them on a rocket and fired them into orbit.

Ironically, your response is classic Reddit troll fare.

Sorry, kiddo. But I’ve been here for a week now and I can tell you it is noticably different than Reddit, although with a small percentage of very Reddit commenters, such as yourself.

I’m sure as the user base increases the percentage of commenters like yourself will remain the same, but the total number will increase. So, basically the story of Reddit all over again. But until then, I think I’ll enjoy this platform more.

The US isn’t standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.

If you think Palestine is going to survive for much longer, then you have an optimism I can only dream of. Even if Trump simply stands out of the way. Which is unlikely, because Donald Trump only helps those who can benefit him and Israel can benefit him. So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs to end up there in the near future.

Palestine is done.

one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism

Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives and an unquantifiable amount of money/resources to put them back down.

A quick glance at both party’s voting history indicates Republicans aren’t going to vote in favor of the average American anytime soon.

Unfortunately, it appears most Americans are too stupid and lazy to do this kind of basic research and would rather have social media and talking heads on TV tell them what to do. Idiocracy.

Fun Fact: Democrats are historically better for our economy.

Man, I thought I escaped comments this dumb when I left Reddit.

“BUSINESS MAN GOOD”

Consider this.

A few weeks before the election Donald Trump and Elon Musk had a little circle jerk podcast interview with each other. They spent time talking about how anti-union they are and how much they hate worker’s rights. Then working class Americans went out in droves and voted for those two rich assholes who openly talked about wishing workers had less rights.

We made a guy who was the first president in U.S. history to stand on a picket line with striking workers step down because he was old. Then we hired another equally old rich guy who openly talks about wishing workers had less rights.

Americans. Are. Stupid.

Our situation isn’t going to get better any time soon. For those of us who aren’t boomers, we’re basically locked into a lifetime of economic hardship.

I definitely recommend getting out while you can. Move somewhere that affords you more rights and has a stronger economy.

Yup.

I don’t want bad things to happen anywhere in the world, but the bottom line is we have our own shit to deal with and jeopardizing our own country by becoming a single issue voter over two countries in a neverending religious conflict on the other side of the planet is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

We’re literally going to be in a state of decline for an unknown period of years now partially because we chose to place another country over our own by voting for the guy that made it clear he would allow that country to turn to dust.

It sounds stupid because it is, in fact, unbelievably stupid.

Oh they are. But realistically, based on all the evidence at hand, they won’t learn anything from it. They’ll be back to voting like fools in a few years. We Americans clearly don’t learn from our mistakes.

You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?

Have they tried as hard as they’re trying right now? Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them, or at least entirely getting out of their way while they do it, instead of putting up some form of resistance to the idea of them wiping Palestine out?

You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don’t you?

I wouldn’t call it credit. I’d call it reading a history book and undestanding how far white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.

Yup.

Everyone, left and right, are about to go through something very unpleasant together.

I never did have any hope for those on the right, but I hope those on the left that helped make this happen become fully aware of their mistake.

Yup.

In case anyone hasn’t noticed, the goalposts for norms have significantly shifted in the last decade. This is historically how it always begins.

Buckle up. Protect yourself.

Hope everyone is ready for this to be at least the next 4 years of our lives.

I say at least because these losers ran on fundamentally changing how our government works. In 4 years they may be able to create a scenario in which it’s literally impossible for them to lose an election. Not to mention the effect this will have on global politics.

We let the Stupids have total control of our federal government. Suffering will become the norm. And if you think we’re suffering now? Well, might be time to pick up a history book.

I applaud you. Have fun attempting to turn the majority of Americans into responsible, educated voters. Especially while Republicans, who now control our government in its entirety, work to dismantle our public education system, which they literally ran on doing.

Here comes that doomerism…it’s over. We had a chance, and we completely dropped the ball. You don’t have to believe me when I say we’re in for long-term decline, just remember that some guy on Lemmy told you a handful of years from now when the decline is obvious and it’s clear that there’s no end in sight.

This was a pivotal moment in U.S. history, and we failed the test.

How were all those warnings and the fact Trump would run again not enough??

Because a bunch of whiny little bitches decided to become single issue voters.

“WAAAAAH, PALESTINE!!!”

Refuses to vote or votes 3rd party, guaranteeing the guy that will allow Palestine to turn to dust becomes president.

“WAAAAAH, STOP GIVING MONEY TO UKRAINE!!!”

Fails to understand that we’re doing that to keep our adversary from expanding their borders and threatening Europe/NATO.

“WAAAAAH, DEMOCRATS DIDN’T ENSHRINE ROE INTO LAW!!!”

Refuses to vote or votes 3rd party, guaranteeing the party that literally repealed Roe controls all aspects of our government.

The real answer to your question is that Americans are STUUUUUUUUPID. Clinically stupid. Uneducated. Uninstersted in informing themselves responsibly. STUUUUUUUUUPID.

Which is why we’ll suffer and are likely to be locked in to a long period of serious decline. Sucks to be us.
