And you know what, I'm a fan of the rugged look with the brushed steel and all that. I just can't get past the lines, they are so terrible. It really looks like a kid drew it but in a bad way. If they'd made it square it would be nice imho

Aside from the fact that you'd be funding the nazis, it's so fucking ugly...

That's not a very interesting conversation, I will agree.

Fair enough, now that I'm aware of the context I get the spirit of the post. Still I wouldn't let sea lioning or whatever it's called dissuade people from having conversations.

I guess I'm missing the context here, I have no idea who these people are or why they're marginalized. But generally speaking not engaging in civilized discourse does not help.

Maybe for Palestine at this point in time a Harris administration could potentially have been less harmful. But do you see what has happened to America and the world by people choosing the lesser evil over and over? The entire narrative has shifted so much to the right, most people consider it normal when the "lesser evil" is openly pro fracking, pro guns, pro Israel, pro big corpo etc etc just to name a few. In that context I think it's weird to blame third party voters in this election. And don't forget that for American voters the situation in the middle east is just one of the issues they need to vote on and it's probably not their first priority.

Στον πούτσο μου λουλούδια και γύρω γύρω μέλισσες is a very niche phrase for those who are definitely not into the whole brevity thing. In reality most will say "on my dick" or "on my balls". The complete expression is to write something that one does not care about on their dick or balls, but the first part about the writing is usually ommited.

Nice manners. If you compare their policies with right wing parties around the world you will see the similarities. There are inner factions that lean left obviously but their voices are muffled by the Clintons and the like.

That is absolutely true, but you know that the vast majority of people are not as politically engaged as to do something about that. They barely get up to vote for the big one. I get it that this is not exactly the best of excuses, but if you consider how voting works in general - with things like gerrymandering etc and the shady and purposefully complicated process of electing party representatives - I would argue that the American people are never given much of a choice. At the end of the day I don't think what you guys have can be called a democracy. The process gives way too much power to a select few and takes all the meaning away from the public vote. Most people may not realize it, but they instinctively react to the futility of the voting process. In fact, I would argue that the Trump phenomenon is a direct result of this. Arguably most people who voted Trump are not consciously evil fascists, they are ignorant idiots (and I use this word for its original Greek meaning) who are tired of voting for anyone from the establishment only to see them serve the 1%.

My point is, it's easy to start pointing fingers at those who didn't vote anti-Trump specifically, but imho Harris was exactly the candidate that would cause a surge of Trump votes by trying to appease her way to the middle of the road between the extreme right and the insane ultra nazi right that are the two choices for Americans these days.
