  • I was contributing to the Original Commenter’s (OC’s) opinion.

    Republicans are pure evil, both on domestic and foreign affairs. We can drop the qualifier because they’re evil on both.

    Democrats on the other hand make modest improvements to people’s lives domestically, if at all, while supporting the same policies towards foreign affairs.

    I’d prefer a party that respects human rights domestically and foreign, as well as foreign countries’ sovereignty.

    The party that supports that has been systematically denied power for decades.












  • The protest voters amounted to some ~800k last time I did my research (check my profile for a post that goes over this).

    RFK forgot to pull out of the general election, and he amassed some ~1 million votes.

    Literally the Trump admin’s own hubris cancelled out the Uncommitted Movement’s efforts.

    But sure: let’s ignore Biden’s deep hatred and racism for Palestinians while ignoring that emocrats lost more voters than what new voters became eligible between 2020 & 2024.

    Let’s also ignore Biden’s awful, self-serving aim to run against Trump in 2024, when previously he had said he was a one-term candidate. And this old fuck couldn’t back out of the race until he was cumpstered and dumpstered on the national stage, leaving Kamala only months to prepare a campaign. Let’s not forget that there were people on voting day that didn’t even know Kamala was running (they assumed Biden).

    Let’s also ignore Kamala’s decent into fascism-lite, saying things like “the strongest military in the entire world” at the DNC, following along with right wing framing on immigration, and inviting Liz fucking Cheney on the campaign trail. This is also ignoring Kamala’s horrendously tone deaf policies aimed towards business and home owners, when most people don’t own businesses and don’t own.

    There is a generational divide in the country on Gaza. Young people under, say, 40 oppose everything this country has aided and abetted regarding Gaza. Older than 40, people don’t give a shit.

    So, have you just dated yourself? Are you too much of a bitch and coward to stick up for state mandated murder abroad? Or are you one of those soy libs that ignores all of America’s war crimes yet points out everything wrong with China?

    American foreign policy is uniparty. If you don’t protest that, you’re complicit.



  • Fluxion makes the distinction between Hamas and women/children. Surely women have contributed to the rebellion efforts. I’m not sure it’s so black and white like that. I wanted to point that out since they seemed misogynistic about it.

    Revolt absolutely means that. But a revolt is only a revolt if there exists an overwhelming oppression that makes people want to resist.

    And that is absolutely the case, starting in 1946 when Jewish people started dominating Palestinians. There have been hundreds of October 7ths since then. 57,000+ Palestinians have perished to date since 2025/10/7 due to Israel’s maximal racism and bloodlust.

    Also, Palestine was not in peace. Hell, the West Bank of Israel wasn’t in peace. The only peace was felt by one side, which undermines the entire idea. Peace means no oppression, no war for both sides. That has never been true for Palestinians while Israel has occupied their land.
