MLs about to become free trade advocates.

Not what the article is actually talking about, though. It seems to be talking about a change in American foreign policy rather than domestic notions of uniqueness.

[email protected] material!

No ‘ha’ here from me. It’s just sad. And infuriating.

The whole premise of this being a news story, and a story that receives reliable engagement and gets injected into every story about Lebanon and Palestine is that these votes of these people have meaningfully caused the problems we’re all going to experience.

That’s a lot of reading in to a common post-election story of buyer’s remorse that’s all over the place, about multiple demographics, right now.

And be honest, we’re looking at like 5% more genocide than Biden.

Lord.

but despite being marginalized as small and unimportant for months are now being covered as the post facto cause of failure,

Where are they blamed for the failure of the campaign here, again?

without anyone even recognizing that this was being predicted by Democratic party members well in advance as the obvious result of just trying to ignore the genocide.

The obvious result was that a not-insignificant part of the country is stupid enough to vote for ‘more genocide’ instead of less?

“It’s like he’s going on Zionist overdrive,” said Nazarko, adding, “it does look like our community has been played.”

You literally played yourself. No help from Trump. I can’t think of a single goddamn thing he’s said that was even vaguely pro-Palestine. Jesus Christ.

It’s so sad, but pointing this out as an obvious consequence would have been bullying. of course, and immediately shot down as such.

Engage with communities here. The politics and tech communities are lively enough, but niche communities are lacking. Give people a reason to come here who aren’t politics/tech junkies.

Never underestimate the penchant of people for stupidity. Even people on our side.

Ha ha

Too bad

It’s been chosen to fuck around and find out on behalf of our entire society

The innocent, the guilty, doesn’t matter. We’re all going to find out.

I hope everyone involved in bringing this down on us is happy with themselves. I’m sure most of them will be fine, of course.

And everyone who stood aside and said “This is fine, I’m not going to do anything to stop it.”

Inaction is not absolution, as much as some people wish it was.

“Thanks everyone who didn’t vote for Harris” better for you?

I assumed that people would understand that “abstainers” was here to emphasize that those who abstained from voting also brought fascism to America, as compared to Trump voters, who we all already know are guilty for bringing fascism to America, but apparently that’s too complex to parse.

Do you know what everyone who didn’t vote would have been a vote for Harris?

The idea that they would be Trump voters instead would not improve my moral judgment of abstainers.

Thanks, abstainers.

Fuck’s sake.

Some are disingenuous, Susan Collin style.

Others are genuine, utter dipshits.

Rubio is a cretin. I hope Europe’s help is enough to let Ukraine end the war on Ukraine’s terms.

I was thinking (and presumably xmunk too) of scenarios where the military overthrows the government.

Ah

I interpreted you as saying that you couldn’t think of a mass purge that didn’t result in a junta or other coups.
