Summary

Donald Trump stated that Palestinians displaced by Israel’s military actions would not have a right to return to Gaza under his plan.

Instead, he proposed resettling them in Egypt and Jordan, despite both nations rejecting the idea.

Trump suggested creating permanent refugee communities funded by the U.S., calling Gaza a "real estate development for the future."

His proposal has drawn condemnation from Arab nations and legal experts, with the UN warning it could constitute ethnic cleansing and violate international law.

Israel’s far-right settlers welcomed the plan.

To the people blaming protest voters: Other voters are not your enemy. The two-party oligopoly is the enemy. The goal of zio nists and is rael was always to remove all the palestinians from the region - it is built into the purpose of the state. There is no evidence kamala would have done anything to stop this. She wouldnt have said lets take it over ourselves and make it into fucking casinos, but regardless, the overall plan of removing all the palestinians would have continued and the US would have continued to fund it.

Anyone who enabled trump is the enemy of democracy. Period.

Not stepping down until the primary was over enabled Trump so count Biden on that list too for failing to heed internal poling in time. He sold out his country out of arrogance just like RBG did.

I understand the anger - I'm currently dealing with grad school funding issues directly related to the new admin so it's hitting very close to home. However, instead of left-of-center infighting over who got the fascist in office (when neither/none of us even voted for him) we could join forces and troll conservatives online by simply posting facts in their comments section. <3

This is simply a false dichotomy. There's plenty of blame to go around and a large share rests with all the people that had the power to stop this but chose not to.

The DNC may have fucked up, but every single one of those protest voters made a conscious decision to increase the odds of Trump becoming president.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So did the DNC though, supporting Israel was more important to them than winning "the most important election of our time".

And yet Trump is still worse on that "single issue" that was important enough to let him win over.

Yeah, I'd like the Democrats to be farther left on a lot of things too, but I understand the system we live in and I remember his first term.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

No doubts about that. Just don't let the DNC off the hook completely by blaming only the voters.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But you do see how that's still better, right? Kamala would at least have been open to public pressure, meaning it could have been possible to pull the emergency brake a little harder. Trump isn't gonna change his mind for fuck all, and isn't just releasing the brake, but slamming his foot on the gas.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yes, Kamala would have been better. But she lost, and thats on her. This geno cide has been going on for 75 years and she gave no indication that she would do anything to stop it.

There are differences between candidates within each party. And historically both parties have gone through drastic changes. You can vote for like minded candidates at the local level, the state level, and as they gain experience they’ll be better suited to succeed nationally and change the party as a result. But this requires you to actually vote. In every election. Always. And I get the sense that those who complain it’s a two party system the loudest are just offering an excuse as to why they simply don’t vote, don’t participate in our democracy. The people who run for national office in say, the Green Party, rarely have any government experience or real leadership experience. It’s just boilerplate slogans and a clear demonstration they don’t really know what’s going on. Why the fuck would I vote for that? Shit, I can say all the right things and run for President. But I would suck as president because the job is much more bureaucratic management than just saying shit out loud.

They're not my enemy, but they are idiots who deserve to be shamed for their terrible decision
