    Still unfathomable to me. I hope those that stayed home think of their choice when Trump fully and vocally supports Israeli settlements across north Gaza.

    Then again: “Grim noted some caveats, pointing out that "even if October 7 and the resulting genocide had never happened, it’s fair to assume some number of those non-voters still would not have voted, and would have cited a different top reason for not voting.” Yeah, Harris was just never going to get some of those votes. But enough to swing the election? I guess we’ll never know.

      so far; it’s looking like trump is the better option due to the ceasefire and i hate admitting it; i hate admitting even more that he failed.

          The election happened in November. Even if Biden got the deal which it appears that Trump had a part in it, it didn’t happen until after the election. We saw Biden for the Zionist genocide-enabler that he is, and Kamala said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently, well except she’d have Republicans in her cabinet.

          he didn’t let that stop him; he sent his emissaries to doha and brokered a cease fire earlier today.

            Remember that time President Carter arranged to free the hostages, then Ronald Reagan snuck in and had Iran wait on announcing their release until he was inaugurated, so that he could claim credit?

            Oh, and didn’t Nixon pull a similar trick with Vietnam?

            Must be an incoming GOP President maneuver.

            ETA Gotta love this left-field static yammering on about Biden because nobody can comprehend that my comment was in response to a hot take on how trump wrangled a ceasefire deal JFC

              That just makes it even fucking worse that the Democrats continued to send tens of billions of dollars to Israel, deploy the US military to assist them, and block every diplomatic attempt to stop them.

              Can you imagine is Carter kept repeatedly swearing his allegiance to Iran during the hostage crisis?

                What are you even looking at?

                I was responding to a comment claiming that trump sent his emissaries to doha to broker a ceasefire.

                As in trump is taking credit. I said nothing about Biden.

              it’s an american empire thing; even the liberals on .world deleted the post rather than accept that the genocide had anything to do with it.
