    Sorry but do either of you folks believe we’d be four months from societal collapse if Trump hadn’t won?

    I didn’t much care for her, either but she would’ve bought all of us another four years of boredom before we had to deal with Trump again, and by that time he’d be four years closer to death and a voterbase four years over him and onto another obsession.

    The long-game is the only one that matters. Gaza could’ve likely not been prevented, but eased? I’m willing to bet what Palestinians are left would be better off of she were president. Gaza itself likely not, but we can’t have everything unless you’re all willing to throw some bricks and start some fires.

    A fellonious pedophile sits in the white house and you’re still on your ass, so… guess not

      I was told by many stupid fucks that Trump winning would do a thing to activate leftists or that these uber sexy single leftists were already hot and available in my area and doing all of the activisms and organizings that could ever be done, so it wasn’t actually a problem if Trump won.

      Then he wins and shocked Pikachu face, these marvelous leftists that own the streets were nowhere at all to be found.

      Democrats are pathetic, sure. But so is this supposed mass movement of online leftists, that just needs a bit more accelerationism to activate bro, I promise bro, just a little more fascism and we’ll revolution, bro! I’m definitely not a concern troll, bro! No way bro!

        this is how I feel. that there is some sort of civil/revolutionary war romance idea when people really need to look at history and how often civil/revolutionary wars actually resulted in a better situation and of those how many had some sort of external assistance to get them to a better situation.

        Well said! No notes.

        Bang on about the concern troll thing. I’m so very sick and tired of that. I’m sure all their sanctimony is a great comfort to them as they watch shit get worse nearly every day. That’s if some of the trolls even have to live in this country, that is…

        It’s because these spaces are just infested with fascists pretending to be leftists, telling the actual leftists not to vote, and they fall for it as reliably as Trump falls for teenagers.

      I think gaza would have been much better off. I don’t think israel would have moved forward with annexation and more aid would have been pressured in which would result in more pressure on thier safety.
