A few things:

1. Neither major party was opposed to the genocide or had any intention of stopping it.
2. You could add all third-party votes, not just Stein’s, and Harris would still lose to Trump. That is if you assume that Kennedy and Oliver too stole votes from Harris.
3. Criticizing an Arab for voting for a Jew is peak antisemitism.
4. Anyone I don’t like is a Putin puppet. Harris is also a Putin puppet. How else would you explain her purposefully choosing to throw away the election?

Upvoting what they deem as bad or violent content.

At least you’re honest about what you stand for.

Israel is intentionally blocking aid into Gaza. Hamas has nothing to do with it. The termination of USAID also has nothing to do with it. Aid trucks are stuck at the border not allowed in.

FYI I voted for Jill Stein. No Democrat, at least on my ballot was going to defund Israel.

Edit: I missed adding that the Biden administration already cut funding to the UNRWA, so starving Palestinians is bipartisan:

The man who ran against school desegregation and busing, was the architect of mass incarceration and considered Strom Thurmond to be his friend is a good man?

If Democrats were the opposition party during the genocide you wouldn’t get online liberals justifying it and ridiculing anyone opposed to it. The Democrats would have probably won in 2024 too.

It is only genocide, no biggie. It is not like Palestinians are people.

Just remember this the next time you wonder why certain demographics don’t want to vote Democratic anymore. Someone’s single issue is another’s family and friends.

By your logic why “hyperfixate” on anything? The environment, democracy, human rights and so on, are each a single issue. By the looks of it [some in] the Democratic Party aren’t stopping at abandoning Palestinians either: Gavin Newsom breaks with Democrats on trans athletes in sports. “It is a single issue, don’t hyperfixate on it”, will be the rallying cry in 2028 I’m sure.

May as well get ready for president Ivanka Trump in 2028. The DNC is its own worst enemy.

Just retire already. I still regret my vote for him.

I originally wanted a Lucid Air, but the majority ownership by the Saudi PIF kind of weirded me out

Looks like Saudi Arabia’s plan to diversify away from oil is not going well. The people likely to buy EVs want nothing to do with anything it invests in.

How’s the car otherwise?

While it is not the point, I am curious if his colleague is white or not. Is ICE targeting all foreigners or just the non-white-Europeans?

Why learn a GUI that can change from release to release when I can learn a CLI once and be done with it. An additional plus is that CLIs are easier to script and automate.

Some states also have laws that allow drivers to run over protesters

The Plaza Accord happened. Japan was also demonized in media and politics like China is now.

Edit: The people downvoting need a history lesson. Here’s a good place to start:

The Coming War with Japan

Just one example of the attitude towards Japan during its height.

Didn’t student protesters get arrested and shot at with rubber bullets under Biden?

You lost me at pressure. I recall one occasion where Biden bypassed Congress to send weapons to Israel. What’s your idea of pressure when the Biden administration vetoes ceasefire at the UN two or three times?

40,000 was the low-end estimate, other sources estimated a higher death count: Gaza: 64,000 deaths due to violence between October 2023 and June 2024, analysis suggests

Gaza war death toll could be significantly higher, researchers say

I agree that Trump is worse overall, but Harris would have still continued what Biden was doing and would have allowed the genocide to continue. By the end of Biden’s term 80% of Gaza was already destroyed, over 40,000 killed and Blinken at least once suggested removing the Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan on his meeting with Arab leaders. It was covered in Arabic media but you may have missed it. Trump didn’t come up with anything new, he is just more unabashed and crude about it.

I voted for Jill Stein by the way.

You would think someone has to be somewhat open minded and accepting of diversity to use FOSS. Life is full of disappointments. Sorry to see her go through this.

I didn’t vote for Trump but let’s not pretend that Harris was going to stop it as she didn’t distance herself from Biden on this issue. Biden had 15 months and he didn’t, not even symbolically at the UN choosing to veto ceasefire, vote against Palestinian right to self determination and continue sending Israel weapons.
