    Imagine how minimally functional your brain has to be to think this is anything other than a blatant sieg heil.

    Now wrap your mind around the majority of voting Americans voting for this future.

    The only advice I can give anyone at this point is to not hold too much hope for the future of this nation. Lower your expectations. It’ll help you get through what’s coming.

            Yes, but none of that other stuff will be possible without somebody worth voting for.

            The choice will say a lot about the party. Change it from the “more of the same” party to the “let’s fix this shit” party.

          Zionism is the same kind of ideology as Nazis, just with different “superior races” (“the chosen people”) whom they claim to represent and sub-humans (“human animals”) whom they claim to be both inferior and a danger to them.

          So it’s absolutely natural for a pro-Zionist organization to side with other Nazi-like ideologies as long as the “superior” and “subhuman” ethnicities of both do not collide, and in this case they both share the view of the Northern African Islamic people as subhumans and they probably see their own “superior” races as being a kind of White - so White Jews and White Christians (if you have any doubt of this for the Zionist side, go check out how Israel treats Ethiopian Jews).

            Not all Democrat voters, but a lot were incapable of even acknowledging that Genocide Joe was in mental decline before he dropped out. Heck some of them are still convinced he would have won despite the campaign now acknowledging that they predicted Trump would have gotten 400 electoral college votes had he stayed in.

            Rather than have a quick primary to find a replacement, they coronated another genocide supporter. This was wholly unpopular with the public & people most likely to vote Democrat, with recent polls suggesting had Kamala deviated from Biden on Israel that she could have got 13 million more votes.

            When people reminded them how unpopular genocide was before the election they were quick to ban or censor any dissenting opinions on the subject, rather than to call for Kamala to do anything different. They censored & ridiculed the most sensible voices which ended up costing them the election.

              None of this supports your assertion that the commenter above helped get Trump elected?

              recent polls suggesting […]

              I’d like to see those polls. This doesn’t really make much sense to me. If you wanted someone to reduce casualties in Israel, why would you vote for Trump?

              There were people protesting about genocide outside democrat rallies. Weird that no one was protesting about that outside Trump rallies.

              I think it’s a grave mischaracterization to say dissenting opinions on genocide were banned or censored. Since the dawn of time, campaigning politicians haven’t wanted to talk about issues that they’re unable or unwilling to solve.

                I didn’t vote for Trump, but I didn’t vote for the genocide supporter Kamala either. I’ve saw countless opinions or any dissent when it came to Palestine get people banned from communities that were all pushing the same, “Kamala ran a flawless campaign” communities. Here you people are again unable to look in the mirror to figure out why you lost & helped Trump get reelected. You want to blame anyone & everyone, but can’t look in the mirror to figure out why you lost so much support.

                  So you didn’t vote for Kamala, criticised her campaign, and are here accusing Dem supporters of helping Trump get elected.

                  Sorry mate that’s just all sorts of ass-backwards bonkers.

                  I don’t see many people saying that Kamala ran a flawless campaign. It’s pretty obvious that the Dems did a pretty terrible job, but to strut around saying everyone else helped Trump get elected just because they werent more critical of Kamala is just daft.

      Everyone funded a genocide. If you paid taxes, you did too.

      I’m not trying to excuse Biden for his love for Israel and material support for them, but singling out “the opposing party” as the issue here is missing the method of reform that’s actually going to fix it. The issue is American politics and media, and the American system. Let’s fix that. If you thought singling out the Democrats as the problem that needed to be got rid of was going to fix it, brother just wait, because you succeeded and your plan is going into action as of now.

    Anti-fascism in the US is in no way equipped to politically deal with this.

    The strategic alternative doesn’t really exist…
