    Is there a lemmy community similar to this one that allows discussion posts? This community only allows link sharing.

    So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.

      The real question is “if they are so stupid why did you lose?” Why didn’t your superior intellect lead you to victory?

    I don’t wanna hear any more moralizing and complaining from young leftists who can’t even be bothered to perform their civic duty and vote. Shut the fuck up. What happens to Gaza in 2025 is on you, not Harris or the Democrats. And when you bitch about the genocide, remember that you facilitated it. You gave up your duty and gave Netanyahu exactly what he wanted, a clear path.

        Oh yeah, but no surprised Pikachu face when the Democrats use the exact same strategy that cost them the election in 2016 and lose doing it in 2024, right? That was really good and smart, huh?

          This, Harris wouldn’t even lie about helping poor and marginalized people for fear of alienating that oh so coveted moderate Republican demographic.

      You’ve learned nothing. If you can’t win against a convicted felon and rapist with a national party infrastructure and billions in the bank you are a completely useless party.

      Enjoy being relegated to the dust bin of history with the Wigs now that it’s clear to even laymen that the king has no clothes.

      What if he ushers in world peace? Will that be on them or on Trump or will that be because of you and whatever DNC stooge is being anointed next?

    Now, since bOtH SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE, watch as Democrats file 600 lawsuits and scream about election fraud for 4 years, never once acknowledging the fact that there’s been no evidence of any /s

      I’m personally totally cool accepting that the majority of my countrymates are selfish pieces of shit. It totally fits with own experiences and the things I’ve seen on the news. I no longer have to wonder. Also probably true for most of the rest of the world, I dunno

    I’m trans and I’m terrified, terrified for my queer friends and family, terrified for Ukraine and Palestine, and terrified for the planet.

    If you didn’t vote or voted for this piece of shit, fuck you. If you voted for him, you deserve the massive inflation and shit he’s about to put you through.

      What about the party that lost the election, quite possibly by choosing to enable a genocide further, as it deemed that more important than winning the election? What about the party, that chose to ignore the devastating effects of inflation on normal Americans, instead of providing a concise plan of revamping the economy, as that would anger its billionaire donors?

      Why blame the people instead of the Democratic party leaders, who remained steadfast at the side of the elites, leaving the people to be peddled to by Trump?

              You are only proving it further. This kind of comments sounds just like MAGA voters. And that is part of the issue. How do you want to beat them politically, if you let them influence your political culture in their way?

                No. I’m tired of people on Lemmy that aren’t even American trying to tell us what to do in our own elections.

                I don’t go astroturfing in posts about your countries politics. So yes, you can fuck right off.

                  America tells other countries how to vote or we’ll overthrow their governments. Even in the 2020s we told South American countries “Elect who we want or we’ll cut off money and send in troops.”

                  The world watched America out of fear of Trump winning. Rightfully so. He’s a mad man who hates anyone but himself.

                  I’m not going to get mad at people who affected by who runs the world police, the biggest economy, the biggest armed forceds, an unconditional UN veto, and so many more things.

                  Trump is bad for everyone in the world. Makes sense people are scared and wanting to chime in.
