NEW YORK—The Trump administration and its radical right foot-soldiers in the federal government and in the states are undertaking a comprehensive scheme to undermine future state and federal elections, in effect rigging the rolls to keep themselves in power no matter what the voters decide.
This this this this this this this this.
I have zero goddamn sympathy for any so-called “leftist” who didn’t vote for Kamala. You have condoned neo-facism to stroke your own ego. No two ways about it. At least now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me, how’s that self-righteousness taste?
I decided I’d rather die than vote for genocide.
Looks like I’ll get my wish. I’m fine with that.
You say as the genocide in Gaza is being aided and abetted by Trump in a way it would never have been even by the Democrats.
You guys are so happy to throw Palestinians under the bus for your black and white worldview
Democrats were fully willing to help Israel annex Gaza and ethnically cleanse the strip, despite the rhetoric. They’d have done it a different way (maybe) but the end result is the same.
But with Trump, those same Democrats have been forced to come out against it! Partisanship is making long-time Israel supporters rethink their support for the genocide, and now they’re speaking up.
But don’t be fooled - this is only partisanship. The genocide was bipartisan before Trump, but he has a way of actually sharpening the contradictions and forcing liberals to stand for something.
I’ll still vote for Democrats that come out against the genocide, but that’s my red line.
Democrats wouldn’t be speaking out against Israel under Harris. They’d be goose-stepping along with the administration no matter how many children Israel killed because the genocide was bipartisan before Trump.
Harris was speaking out about it, you just refused to listen.

““It’s unconscionable, and we are now at a place where, with (Hamas leader Yahya) Sinwar’s death, I do believe we have an opportunity to end this war, bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people and work toward a two-state solution where Israel and the Palestinians, in equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian people have dignity, self-determination and the safety that they so rightly deserve,” said Harris.”
Every month from becoming the nominee until the election: cease fire, hostage release, two state solution.
These are not genocidal statements.
Trump? https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-israel-pr-hugh-hewitt-21faee332d95fec99652c112fbdcd35d
“But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
That’s on ISRAEL, not Biden or the Democrats.
Who gave Israel the weapons?
Israel is, depending on who you ask, between the 8th and 10th largest arms dealer in the world.

You’re so bad-faithed it’s hillarious. Biden and the dems were fully supporting Israel even as everybody knew atrocities were being commited.
And you fully supported Biden fully supporting Israel
The two State solution has always been a canard deployed by genocidiers to delay peace and prolong conflict. Israel doesn’t get to have an apartheid ethnostate on stolen land, even if Palestinians get a bantustan or two.
There is only a one state solution: a multiethnic, multireligious, multiracial democracy from the river to the sea.
A multiethnic, multireligious, multiracial democracy would be a bloodbath. The Israelis simply will not allow it.
See the results of the various illegal settlements:
https://theconversation.com/the-quiet-war-whats-fueling-israels-surge-of-settler-violence-and-the-lack-of-state-response-261990
“United Nations estimates indicate that Jewish settlers have carried out around 2,000 attacks against Palestinians since the war in Gaza began. That number represents a dramatic surge compared with any previous period during the nearly six decades Israel has controlled the West Bank.”
It would be great if everyone could live together in peace and harmony, we can’t. We are hard-wired to see things in “us” vs. “them”.
We are not hardwired to be racist colonizers, they were programmed to be this way by decades of racist and fascist propaganda.
The fact that Israelis are racist colonizers doesn’t give them the right to steal the land.
I’m not hearing a reason Israel should be allowed to exist.
Again, showing you’re totally OK with genocide so long as it’s a people you don’t personally like. Got it.
Israel was created as a Jewish homeland because the world decided they were owed it after an organized and dedicated extermination campaign.
Yes, it was wrong to just displace the Palestinians, but it was not wrong to give Jews a homeland after centuries of European discrimination and blood libel, culminating in the Holocaust.
p.s. We are absolutely programmed to be racist.
https://www.dw.com/en/kids-arent-born-racist-but-they-do-perceive-race-early/a-68674280
"A landmark study in 2005, for instance, showed that babies perceived differences in race and exhibited preferences for their own race as early as at 3 months of age.
In a 2017 study, children associated adults of their own race with happy music, and adults of a different one with sad music — when the kids were aged just 6 to 9 months old.
While children showed a “weak racial bias” at 7 years old, by the age of 10, their bias had become “strong and reliable” in a 2014 study. White children in that study thought that Black children of the same age would feel less pain than them if they bumped their heads or bit their own tongues."
You’re brainwashed.
WTF are you talking about, “brainwashed?” You’re literally proving his point. The slope of the line was decreasing before the election, and then started increasing after.
chart image copy in case parent commenter tries to delete it
Fkn liar
All that did was enable more genocide. Congratulations, all the shit ICE is doing is your fault.
Dude, didn’t you see their instance? They’re a tankie. They were never ‘refusing to vote for genocide’. They were always holding their vote in the hope that the evil US would destroy itself so Generous China and Glorious Mother Russia could take their place as the true and noble world leaders.
Just ignore them.
Sometimes I can’t help myself. There really needs to be a way to block an instance rather than just individual users.
You’re brainwashed

Ohhh so you’re not even from the US, you’re just saying stuff.
I thought .ml users were in agreement that the US was a 3rd world country?
ICE wasn’t invented by Trump. If you look at the actual numbers he’s basically just keeping up with Obama’s deportations.
He’s just ripped the mask off, so people realize what ICE always was. We told you about ICE before and you didn’t care, and now you do. Trump makes you see what was always right in front of you.
Now. Are you going to do anything about it?
Good. Americans don’t deserve a single thing more than what they give to Palestinians.
How’s your own medicine taste like lmao.
How is it our fault? I’m not even american. It’s YOUR fault for having an election with two genocider and thus living in a genocidal country. Fuck you :)
How is Trump meaningfully different on immigration then Harris? ICE existed before Trump.
I’m having trouble believing this is an honest question.
They weren’t deporting American children with cancer or using torture prisons in El Salvador for starters.
Ever heard of Guantanamo Bay? Abu Ghraib? Biden deported more people then Trump. Extrajudicial punishment, torture and punitive and cruel immigration policy is bipartisan in the USA.
Posting the same image more than once doesn’t make it any less idiotic.
The image isn’t idiotic; it just isn’t making the point he thinks it is. Look at the slope of the line, not the area under the curve.
I meant the fact that it disproves his point, but fair enough. I’m getting worked up and should step away for a bit.
A reasonable slip of the keyboard, in the heat of the moment.
Anyway, for posterity here’s the chart being referenced, since the guy posting it got banned and his comment removed:
chart
I think it’s actually a pretty useful chart to keep around for the information it’s actually conveying (as opposed to how the banned commenter was trying to misrepresent it) Glad I copied it from his other comment when I had the chance, LOL.
Just an explanation for anyone else, Biden started his term with a higher rate of deaths (steeper slope) and finished with a lower right (shallower slope) thanks for showing the removed graph!

The genocide is bipartisan.
Also… do you think you’re innocent? That you’re absolved of this country’s crimes?
Do you think that all you need to do is vote for a Democrat and you can wash your hands?
They don’t give a shit about foreigners.
Being suicidal doesn’t entitle you to take the rest us down with you! You’ve clutched your pearls so hard that you’ve managed to bloody your hands anyway.
Quit being unethical in the name of ethics.
What about all the people around you that aren’t ok with that?
You’re not really sticking to the very basics of communism: community.
We’re all complicit.
Don’t break an arm jerking yourself off, there, hero.
You voted for a genocider and the end of your sad existence would be a net negative.
That’s ok, the left has no patience for genocide supporters. As far as we’re concerned, Trump is exactly what you deserve.
No amount or anime villain monologues will change the fact that you supported genocide.
As did you by sitting back and letting it happen.
Have the day you voted for.
Yeah, I personally let it happen. I’m just that powerful that I could have stopped it. But I chose not to.
You people are every bit as irrational and loathsome as Maga.
Yet you dumbasses act like anyone voting for Harris was causing supporting and participating in what is happening between Israel and Palestine.
And despite this, trump is still worse. You can go on and on about this singular issue but at the end of this stupid disingenuous contortionist act, trump is still worse.
I admit that Trump is really bad, but I believe he has a lot more than Biden
In what way? He certainly has a lot more tyrannical and fascist ideology. But there is no goodness of any kind in that man. His agenda has been nothing short of hateful and destructive on every level. Biden was a crap option. But Trump is leagues worse in every conceivable measure.
I believe this is true, so I take more opportunities to make myself richer, which will also bring me a better life
Souless matters who say things like “You can go on and on about this singular issue but at the end of this stupid disingenuous contortionist act” about a literal Holocaust have exactly zero credibility when it comes to determining what’s worse. How could you? You have no morality.
You can’t call yourself a “leftist” and vote for a conservative neo-liberal for president. There’s no two ways about it. Saying otherwise is just a conservatives way of stroking their own ego. By undermining the leftist vote, you have condoned neo-fascism to stroke your own ego. At least neo-liberals now get to enjoy the fruits of their labor for creating this situation. Tell me, how does your own self-righteousnous taste?
-see, i can do it too.
