    Oh no. How is this possible? Rashida Tlaib and her dear constituents along with Jill Stein and Kshama Sawant told us that this would never happen if we did not vote for Kamala. Ceasefire should happen any time now I guess.

      DNC “Pragmatism”, specifically their Pied Piper Strategy to purposefully prop up far right demagogues like Donald Trump to move the overton window off a cliff is why you have Trump. They use Cheeto-man as a shield to defend all their bad crap. Classic good cop / bad cop routine.

      Now their answer to 2028 is to move even further right and praise Trump. Think you can fix this terminally corrupt party by keep voting blue no matter who?

        Of course it will work. Just look at California, New York, Illinois, and every other deep blue state. They’ve got the best of everything! No corruption at all and always giving the voters progressive legislature.

      not to interrupt you jacking off but if you were paying attention you’d be aware that there was a ceasefire, albeit a brief one. don’t let that stand in the way of you using this as a bludgeon to convince more people to support your pro-genocide girlboss, ofc.

        It was the greatest ceasefire of all time. So great that they are saying thank you president in Gaza. This was the best ceasefire ever.

          look idk what point you think you’re making, obviously daddy deals only did it so he could say he made a deal. but the fact of the matter is that it did happen, and it was more than harris offered or biden delivered. this isn’t a pro-trump argument i’m making here. just pushing back on your bullshit.

      Kamala Harris refused to denounce a policy that resulted in immigrant students being deported in sanctuary cities before her 2020 presidential run and the Biden-Harris administration carried out more deportations per unit of time than even Trump in 2025.

      So why should anyone have voted for Harris to protect immigrants? And you can’t say “because Trump is worse” because by that logic you could argue in favor of voting for Trump 2016 since Trump 2024 is worse.

      Hmm. I noticed something peculiar that the only two elected officials you blame have in common. Weird that you blame those two and not the entirety of the democratic party that constantly reaffirm their support for Israel and repeat anti-Palestinian propaganda. I wonder what it could be about those two in particular that makes you blame them.

      It would have happened under Kamala. She literally declared as much. She wanted the “most lethal military”, “stronger borders” and immigration control (including ICE), repeated racist false r*pe propaganda about Arabs, and constantly also reaffirmed her support for Israel. She never said one thing about changing any of this.

      Your beloved girlboss believed it was more important to cosign a genocide and kiss up to neocons then defeat Trump, cry all the way to 2028 about it

      Also a ceasefire literally did happen, which is more than we got with Nazi dems like Kamala and Biden

      Smartest liberal strategy: just lie a bunch.
