So glad I didn't vote and Trump won instead. That has worked out so much better for Iran and the rest of the world, too.

The goal is to make things better than other alternatives. Harris was better than Trump. It was a choice between the two. It's very simple. How do people not get that? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zoot@reddthat.com -2 points 4 months ago It's okay to admit if you made a mistake, it actually shows human growth when you can recognize that maybe the right course of action wasn't taken. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Freeposity@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago You probably also don't know that Kamala was the only one who could legally step in once Biden dropped out. But sure, blame her for the handcuffs that were placed on her. Fuck that bitch. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Serinus@lemmy.world -2 points 4 months ago More like supported and slightly reluctantly aided. I expect there were guardrails that Israel was careful not to cross. You know, like completely flattening Gaza and demolishing southern Lebanon. It's still AIPAC fueled genocide, but I definitely preferred the slower version to what we have now. permalink fedilink source parent
