        I forgot they ran a flawless campaign, definitely they are raging against Republicans only.

          Compared to Trump’s dimentia-ridden campaign, which was probably the worst political campaign in American history? Yeah, the Democrats’ campaign was fucking perfect in comparison to talking about Arnold Palmer’s cock, giving a microphone a blowjob, or saying Haitian migrants are eating cats and dogs.

          Yes, both parties are corrupt, and yes, there is no party offering true change in a socialist direction. One party is literally fascist, and is clearly worse. I hate voting for the lesser of two evils, but this was the easiest election decision I’ve made in my entire life.

            Not to the people that voted though. They thought Trump was the better candidate.

              And they were incorrect, unless they specifically supported him because of stuff like Project 2025, being massively corrupt, promising to give Elon power, bringing more devistation to Gaza, etc.

              Also the democrats lost about 6 million votes, and Trump gained about 3 million vs 2020. That’s 3 million prior voters who just decided voting wasn’t worth it in just 4 years. How Trump gained those 3 million votes is beyond me, unless they never directly watched Trump speak in the entire campaign and only watched editorialized content, which is entirely possible, if not likely.

              The media this past election cycle has proven to have an extreme conservative bias. The amount of sanewashing that occured with everything Trump said vs the extreme amount of scrutiny for everything Biden and Kamala said was disgusting to see. This includes all corporate media, including corporate-backed online media.

                Just FYI your theory on voter numbers is way off. Every election is unique. Some elections more people may vote or not. You can’t compare voter numbers from just 2020 to determine how many more people are now Trump supporters or Democrat supporters.

          Yes, it does.

          And your shitty Russian bot take on the subject makes me equally sleepy.

            Ah I see, you’re one of those people that thinks everyone who says something you don’t agree with is a Russian. Have you talked to your psychiatrist about it? Generally a sign of schizophrenia.

        Trump got elected because of dumb pro-genocide corporate Democrats who decided they should send Mark Cuban out to tell everyone how much they love corporate interests & Dick Cheney.

            If I thought proud-Zionist Biden’s terrible policy on Palestine was indefensible, which Kamala said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently while pledging her unconditional support to Israel, on what planet do you think my position is in favor of Trump’s policy? They are both indefensible and if you want to know which is worse, it very likely will end up being Trump, but it hasn’t been realized thus far.

            It is clear already, in your mind if someone dares criticize the almighty Democrats then they must support Trump, or be “an agent of the current administration.”

            I am curious though, how’d that so-called “useful opposition” that you surmounted work out for you in the last election?

      We get it. We live in a shitty, gerrymandered two party system thanks to FPTP and there is no true anti-war or anti-capitalist party. What’s your point?

      Saying “both sides bad” without mentioning one side being much, much worse is just being disingenuous. Not just that, but it attracts people on the worse side, who then will not accept criticism of their own side. Look at Jimmy Dore for a perfect example of this kind of audience capture.

      In this example, you have Biden on one side, who was being complacent in a genocide while saying publicly that he wants a ceasefire deal, but not doing what was in his power to actually make it happen, like cutting off arms and funding to Israel. On the other side, you have Trump who wants to nuke Gaza and commit ethnic cleansing himself (I’m sorry, I meant to say “displace Palestinians”) and rebuild it as a paradise in his image without Palestinians.

      Let’s just say Netanyahu publicly wanted Trump to win this past election, and there’s a good reason why.

          Why is it that you folks always seem to think a dead child is a slam-dunk in any argument?

          “I like Pepsi better than coke” “tell that to the dead Palestinian children”

          “The theory of dark matter has too little evidence to take seriously” “counterpoint: dead child”

          “Babe, can you stop talking about dead children every time we get into an argument?” “You’re insulting their memory, you monster!”
