per Decision Desk, it looks like trump won. I’m starting to see a few outlets like NBC call Pennsylvania for trump, too.

as a trans woman, i’m fucking terrified.

yeah, if you voted for trump this election, after everything over the last ~9 years, you’re fucking evil. straight up evil. lots of people, worldwide, are going to suffer because of this as the world falls deeper under the influence of fascism. take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones, form communities, and be prepared to fight for your lives. we’re going to need each other if we’re going to to make it through this

Americas garbage education system (which he wants to dismantle further) combined with people being inundated with false info means they live in an alternate universe

That’s the kicker. No matter what Harris do, no matter how left her policy is, no matter how stern her gaza stance is, she’s gonna lose. The world is moving toward right. My country’s on the way there too unfortunately.

tbh, i dont think toeing the biden line on gaza is what id call stern. if anything, i think she lost votes bc she couldn’t commit to actual consequences for the genocide beyond a finger wagging.

No. She lost because a massive Russian and US-fascist campaign corrupted the state of the media until people couldn’t tell up from down.

“I care so much about the Palestinian people that I have no choice but to become ‘unexcited’ about the only candidate of the two who doesn’t actively want Netanyahu to exterminate them even harder” is yet another example of the nonsense-logic they managed to get into the conversation. If Biden had been taking a hard line on weapons shipments, the big catastrophe about the left candidate would have been something else. I can almost guarantee it.

I don’t mean toeing the biden line, i mean stern against israel. I might have spoke too soon because we might get the full picture once we see the voter turnout. So far it seems like american vote for trump, without exception.

Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.

Those that didn’t vote against that are a problem.

not a meaningful difference, but if it’s true that only a fifty-something percent voted, then the other half just doesn’t care what is happening with them and their folks
