I can't wait to see the leopards ate my face memes when Trump gets voted in and sends US troops in to help Israel.

They're sending drones and bombs and the only casualties are mostly Palestinians families. US troops would literally be useless, or worse, a hindrance to isrealis troops, because they wouldn't be able to randomly shoot at any neighborhood to cause maximum casualties anymore.
you should read "Kill Anything That Moves" by Nick Turse. American troops would absolutely revel in causing maximum casualties, there would be no conflict between US troops and the IDF.

Republicans: “we’re going to keep giving weapons to Israel so they can get the job done.” The Nazi party is straight up telling us what they’re going to do.
Democrats: the same thing as above but couched in complacent, obscure language about “reducing casualties”.
It’s time we simply be honest about the reality and stop making this a D vs R, working class vs working class thing. At the core of the Gaza genocide, the message is essentially the same.
Kamala has stated that she won’t place a weapons embargo on Israel because they have a “right to defend themselves”. She may have a full ceasefire mindset personally, no one will ever know, but the US government collective won’t allow it. That’s just the way the war machine works. As soon as they pull the plug on funding Israel, Israel becomes an enemy they are suddenly matched with due to the mass amount of our own weapons we’ve been sending them for decades. Our government has painted itself into a corner, and a continued alliance with Israel ensures that we have a control point in the Middle East.
It should also be noted that Kamala has taken something like $200k+ worth of AIPAC money, but Walz hasn’t taken any as far as I can tell. Not personally a fan of Kamala, but I have cautious optimism with Walz.
Thing is that trump still has close to 50% support along with the rest of the republicans and that support is not going to falter due to whats happening in israel. The rebulicans need to lose every time and go away so the dems can split into a proper left and right. They are also the best chance at election reform that might make the us system more multi party. We can only move left if the right is not a winning strategy.

This is ahistorical. The republicans don't have support because they exist, they exist because their ideas are popular. Fascism is rooted in Capitalist decay, there will not be a proper left and right ever. Not that there can be a "proper right." They will only go away if Capitalism also goes away.
Not only that, but a Left Party cannot gain the donors necessary to maintain power within a Capitalist democracy, the ones with the money and power to influence the government will not work against their own interests.

We’ve pretty much been forced into a “don’t let the Nazis take control again” position.
Yeah its gotten ridiculously bad. Honestly I wish I could like push my current brain into my teenage brain as while I was always environmentally conscious and USliberal/left. I wish I was more cognizant of just how much republicans did not care about it and were just going to get worse and worse. Now that they are just full mask off (or just not trying honestly with the whopper type lies you would have to be a fool to believe). I did not vote republican at the national level but had voted third party a few times but luckily not in one were the republican one but that was really just happenstance.
2 state solution? Why do we need two Palestines?
RAID 1 backup.
As opposed to the Republican's Final Solution?
It's only a Final Solution if it comes from the GOP, otherwise it's "sparkling genocide."
About 1/4th of the downvotes on this post are from zero-content accounts. Likely some US democratic-party astroturfing going on like they did on reddit.
And how may of the upvotes are from "zero-content accounts"?
Thank you for pointing out the astroturfing. Would it be possible to implement a filter which diminishes or ignores the vote count of astroturfing accounts?
There's a few proposals in the github issues, such as making all votes transparent, and an option to block federated downvotes.
Rather than “Democrats” you should put “US no matter what”
