Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America.

I won’t vote or speak up because I’m not American. I’m left of center even for European standards, so quite a bit left of Bernie Sanders.

Harris should have been able to come on stage, fart and belch for 45 minutes and still win the election. Three raccoons in a trench coat should have been able to win the election. No matter what you liked or didn’t like, trump was worse on every topic than basically any other human in the US.

And still 77 million Americans decided that the criminal, pussy grabber, Netanyahu lover is the one to lead them for the next 4 years.

But hey, now there’s military parades on his birthday and military troops on the streets, and he will build a hotel and golf course once all Palestinians are thrown out of gaza!

We don’t have to talk in hypothetical. The democratic party ran on a campaign of kicking immigrants out of the country, continuation of the declining state of late stage capitalism, and state sponsored slaughter of Palestinian children overseas.

They could have not done that. Its as simple as that. Straight forward. They could have run a campaign standing up for human rights and a platform of workers rights. Thats it. Thats the problem. The problem is a far right conservative party vs a fascist party and those are the only 2 parties. Democrats lost the election. If they had campaigned differently, they wouldn’t have lost. Demand better from politicians, not for people to vote for the murder of their own families.

  Coulda shoulda woulda.
  
  There were 2 options:
  
  moderate genocide, some student debt relief and gay marriage
  
  extreme genocide, accepting jets from foreign governments, putting trans people on a list and deporting citizens to El Salvador. That’s it. You don’t get lollipops and unicorns. Primaries took care of that. America chose option 2. So be it.

    “Moderate genocide and gay marriage”

    That was the only alternative indeed. And people chose the extra genocide with corruption sprinkles and a touch of war with Iran. If you want universal Healthcare and free university, it wasn’t on the menu. They are great, you should get some, but Americans don’t want them.
