Bushra Shaikh (@Bushra1Shaikh): How TF did Americans vote the clown in, not once but TWICE.
Readers added context
This creator posted on Election Day 2024: "Punish the democrats for their passive response to the genocide in Palestine. If there ever was a party who should have stood firmly against it, we would’ve assumed the Dems. They proved otherwise. F Kamala Harris. Hope she loses.” [truncated URL to the post here]
This is what will keep happening if the Dems election strategy remains “if you don’t vote for us you get that asshole”. And use them as an excuse not to do anything.
Get the F off of x.
It’s a fundamental flaw with the 2-party system. There are no good options, only a “lesser evil” option.
I mean, she’s right. Dems are supposed to represent the ideological opposite of Cons, both domestically and internationally.
Of course, US foreign policy has always been uni-party, so there was never a chance that the Dems were going to concede. Despairingly so.
I voted for Kamala, but she didn’t everything in her power to destroy the momentum she got after Biden dropped out.
Arguing over who would have genocided people the nicest is fucked up on soooooooo many levels.
This person is an idiot. The american public gave up on their one chance to influence the outcome of the presidency and fucked it up for everyone beyond comprehension, and are now still trying to push the blame on the establishment. Fuck every one of the sitouts and republican voters. You enabled the orange buffoon and couldnt see the threat he represented. Sometimes, when life gives you a choice between lemons and your way of life being destroyed in a childish tantrum, you swallow the fucking lemon.
Gaza and the world thanks you. Fuckers.
Okay, so:
- Voting Democrat in the general election is the choice with (edited in: the) least horrible consequences and
- Voting Democrat in the general election isn’t nearly enough to stop the ratchet-effecting into fascism, and a stand-for-nothing placeholder centrist Democrat president in 2028 will probably just lead to Trump-3/Vance/someone similarly horrible in 2032
are unfortunately both true.
Also, non-MAGA Americans - (EDIT: liberals, not the party leaders) and leftists alike - need better people skills. With infighting like this, Republicans hardly even need to lift a finger.

By offering 2 truly ridiculously poor candidates as alternatives.
If people are unhappy they vote for the party not in power. Social media is much better at making us all unhappy than happy. I don’t think we will see a 2 term president for a while.
The US is a nation of and for leopards, the sooner it’s humbled properly the better off the world will be
Putin trolls are fueling dissent on both sides to create polarization in the West.
X as a platform is right wing propaganda. This would specifically attempt to undermine the progressive in the left-centers eyes, exacerbating division.
the republicans need punishment more than any party.
also the democrats don’t even want to win so forcing them to serve a term and actually have a fucking job is the greatest punishment you could ever inflict upon them.
