In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

If the Dems won the situation in Gaza would have been basically the exact same with the only difference being that Harris wouldn't have been talking about the US personally taking control of Gaza. Biden was 100% in support of the genocide and so was Harris and the rest of the Dem leadership.

    I ask again, so this is a win for you?

    All I'm saying is there was no win for the Palestinians. The genocide isn't "worse" now that Trump's in charge. It was going to be the same either way.

    Also if you're under the impression that Trump won because pro-Palestine voters refused to vote for Harris then you're mistaken. The uncommitted movement's objective was not to refuse to vote for Harris for president, they voted "uncommitted" during the primaries. That's where the name comes from.

    Harris lost because the liberal order is driving the US to ruin and Trump didn't ignore how bad things were getting, like the Dems do, and he promised to shake up the regular, liberal order of things which doesn't work for a massive amount of Americans. Obviously he was lying, but his rhetoric inspired people. The Dems offered NOTHING except not being Trump. Not very inspirational. Problem is, pro-Trump propaganda was too well funded and too wide-spread and most voters just don't pay very much attention to politics.

    The Dems have nobody to blame for their failure but themselves. Fascism isn't bred on its own out of nowhere. The failures of liberal governance created the conditions for far-right extremism to take hold and the Dems refused to meet the moment by offering real solutions for the people of America.
