    If you voted against Harris because of her Gaza stance, or daresay… voted for Trump because you thought he’d do a better job, congratulations, you elected a candidate who probably has his head even further up Netanyahu’s arse than the Biden Administration did…

    You reap what you sow.

        I’m sorry that I understand how a two-party state run by two ruling parties funded by billionaire lobbyists works…

          I understand

          oh do you now? And yet centrist commentors like you lost the last election and Harris lost votes across nearly every demographic of the Dem base voters. Seems your “understanding” is pretty deeply flawed.

            I’m not from the US so you can’t really say that I lost.

            I live in the UK where we are facing a similar predicament. A lot of people vote on class lines and for the same two parties based on the lesser-of-two-evils because they don’t want to waste their vote and give the worse party power.

            The difference is that our two main establishment parties (the Conservatives and Labour) have catastrophically fucked things up over the past fifteen years, and now a MAGA-like far-right party headed by Nigel Farage is being overwhelmingly pushed by the press. People here overwhelmingly disagree with things like zero-hours contracts and privatizing the NHS, yet haven’t read into any of Reform UK’s policies and will vote for Farage anyway because he seems a bit more charismatic and the media oligarchs are heavily pushing him.
