    For all Americans here, don’t forget the results don’t matter much, the fight continues and bourgeois democracy will never truly represent you anyway.

      While you are talking about the destruction of America, is the True God of Christianity, Yahweh, already selling America to social liberals and flooding American with immigrants of mixed-European origin and non-European origin as punishment for their fake school death camp genocides against Indigenous people and their refusal to confess that the Nazi Holocaust is a cheap imitation of the ongoing war crimes by the Western European empires and British diaspora?

      No, they’re going to double down on pro Israel talking points and blame the Tankies and our *checks notes* belief that humans shouldn’t be genocided, for not voting for genocide enough.

          It really depends. If the actual left can keep the pressure on and keep Palestinian genocide loud enough that the media HAS to cover it, they’ll handwringingly side with Trump, otherwise they’ll try to ignore it as much as possible and use the same tactics they use when covering police murdering minorities when they absolutely MUST cover it.

        It’ll be a tough decision. Do they immediatly start opposing it and have to awkwardly state at their shoes when people ask why they dont have a problem doing it while Biden is still president or do they wait until January and have the same awkward reaction when people ask why this wasn’t a problem 25 hours ago but it is now.

          They’re going to immediately pretend that they have always felt this way. Don’t you know that we’ve always been at war with Eurasia?

          Edit: I lost the plot in the response, I still agree with my original comment but I’m leaving this one for posterity lol. My original point is that the liberals will keep spouting pro Israeli propaganda and blame pro Palestinian activists for the loss, completely ignoring that the Dems continue to move right over and over leaving the progressive portion of their base behind in pursuit of stealing Republican votes.

            Yep, Trump will say that he supports Israel, and liberals will act like they’ve supported palestine this whole time, relying on some vague meaningless statements by Harris.

              I’m guessing the pivot will be something like “I support Israel, but not now; not like this”. Probably a little more polished because party hacks need to justify their paychecks.

          They will go with "We opposed Biden doing it, but with Biden we had the chance to push him left! We should have just given Harris everything she wanted, and then push her left! It’s worked so well in the past!

      You mean to say that –

      • switching candidates halfway through the election

      • having your replacement candidate be one of the few people somehow less popular than Biden

      • having said candidate go around openly endorsing genocide

      • telling leftists to ignore this, because genocide isn’t really a big deal

      – isn’t some kind of winning strategy to Unite the Left?

        Honestly, imo they lost the election before Gaza even entered the mainstream conversation. The Dems the past 4 years have exhibited nothing but betrayal after betrayal of their constituency. From record deportations of immigrants, to crushing labor strikes, to escalating the trade war with China, to deceiving the public about COVID relief, to bungled natural disaster responses, to lying about Biden’s obvious cognitive decline, etc.

        Gaza was just the nail in the coffin.

      Similar train of thought, the other day I was posing a question to someone who can be pretty lib, like, if the republicans are such a terrible fascist threat, why aren’t the powers in charge doing more to suppress them? Instead of just letting them do what they want electorally and being like “we’ll vote them out.” I think I actually got through to them a bit on that specific point. Like existential threat to “democracy”, supposedly, but we’re gonna let em do a popularity contest and get power that “takes away democracy”, what sense does that make.

      Yup. Saw a few of them already saying they look forward to buying property in ethnically cleansed Gaza/West Bank.

      Also this:

      They really cannot keep their masks on can they?

      To them anti-fascism is just a vibe, and social justice causes just an aesthetic, a way to signal team loyalty. When push comes to shove and they get scratched, all of their feigned sympathy with the oppressed goes out the window and they become foaming at the mouth Nazis indistinguishable from MAGA.

        anti-fascism IS just a vibe to them but fascism itself is too, I would argue lol. According to them fascism is when you say mean things about minorities on twitter and complain about woke, definitely has nothing to do with imperial shrinkage and what happens when empires run out of gas. This cycle has taught me just how little the american voter gives a fuck about geopolitics. They themselves will often tell you with a smile how they only really care about domestic politics (AKA what they personally stand to gain from imperialism).
