member Paula White ... Trump's spiritual advisor. White claimed that Trump "will play a critical role in Armageddon as the United States stands alongside Israel in the battle against Islam."

Yea, cause he's pretty much the antichrist. I mean, it's the closest evidence I've even been presented with for anything in the Bible being real.

Even if it isn't, they believe, and they are trying to force it to happen.

did biden/harris advocate for palestinians to leave gaza

You should be calling return2ozma and TokenBoomer too. The 'I'm not voting for Trump's opponent, but I'm gonna complain about the consequences', crowd.

theres a lot of shills

I hate how horribly accurate that meme is.

If it makes you feel any better, most of the people they're accusing voted D just like they always do...

It was never about your vote. It was about the impact of a one-sided message on the votes of others.

Criticism of Biden’s handling of Gaza was completely fair. That topic had no place in discussing the election unless fairly compared to the alternative we see here.

Did you want to show me an example of you treating an ongoing genocide as a joke like a trump supporter would?

Edit:

Nevermind, you literally mod a trump sub and a sub about trolling, no wonder you act like a trump supporter

Just so ya know, @Breadsmasher mods a sub called the_Donald (which I assume is what you're talking about) that is dedicated to documenting trumps crimes. NOT a pro-trump sub.

I highly recommend clicking through when you find something like that, often it's a terrible sub but there's also times when it's not what you'd expect. As for the other sub, that's called lemmyDrama, which is just about lemmy drama, like how r/subredditdrama on reddit is about drama. So I wouldn't call that trolling. But that might just be my opinion on what trolling is.

exactly. fuck trump. he is destroying america. the little that remains

That would make sense, if they didn't seem to spend an inordinate amount of time accusing people of not voting because they talk about what the party could do better, and "joking" about genocide.

I took a look at their first page of post history and didn't have to dig any deeper to block them.

I don't think I'd have found anything constructive if I scrolled deeper.

I mean, do you honestly think anyone watched the last three elections and think the best path forward is attacking the left?

Even if they're being genuine, it's a terrible strategy to get Dems back in power.

So whether it's intentional or not doesn't *really* matter. They're actively hurting the party with every comment they make.

He’s a stupid fucking clown, and so are all these people blaming people who are anti genocide for a genocide both the democrats and republicans have been enabling and perpetuating. It’s fucking bonkers to see.

It's just so disappointing watching "moderates" side with literal trump supporters and falling for propaganda that makes them attack the very people they need for the Dem party to win elections.

The left can win without the middle, that's how Obama got elected to both his terms, but the middle can't win without the left.

All the middle shitting on the left does is help Republicans. But they just won't stop doing it. They'd honestly rather have a Republican over a progressive.

Ken Martin wasn't my first pick, but I'm still hopeful he'll steer the party in the right direction. Shits too important not to.

And that’s just it right there. Libs don’t understand it and would rather attack the left than try to work together with them. And then they’ll try to blame fascism on the left(?!?) it’s so fucking stupid and tiresome.

Protest voters did not meaningfully impact the election

Trump won with 1% of the vote.
35% of registered, eligible voters stayed home. If 1% of those that stayed home would have voted we would be in a different world right now.
Protest voters are absolutely to blame for this.

Its not as simple as you'd like it to be.

I really thought everyone would have learned about the electoral college by now, but the important thing is making sure people understand our system moving forward.

Every single nonvoter in Cali could have held their nose and voted D, it wouldn't have changed the result at all

If you actually want to look at the numbers of who stayed home in 2024 after voting in 2020 then those demographics were the older white men/women and hispanic men. Probably because both those groups have a harder time stomaching a woman with the exact same policies

The people protesting the Zionists' war were college students and under 30s, who voted the exact same they always do.

Non-voters sure as shit did impact the election.

Cool less than half the voting age population votes in the US.

And it has always been like this

So whining about the people who never vote and will never vote isn't helpful

This election was an existential threat to democracy. Anyone who was able to vote and didn't vote for Harris, the opposition candidate, is to blame. The Democrats who stayed home *because of fucking Gaza* even moreso. We Harris voters knew this shit would happen because we pay attention. Anyone who voted for trump to *send a message* needs to do the same. There was 0 chance a trump presidency would turn out well for the Palestinians in Gaza.

"Both sides are bad, so I refuse to vote for either"

"Democrats need to earn my vote"

"Well, yeah, Trump is definitely bad. I don't want Trump. But I demand a pony *and* a blowjob. If the Democrats want my vote, they're going to have to do more than just stop Trump from killing all the ponies. "

both side are bought and paid for by the oligarchs

damn right a public leader needs to earn votes otherwise we get more Bidens and Trumps that think galas with celebs will do it

Unfortunately teaching them that lesson means now we'll have no more Palestine.

both side are bought and paid for by the oligarchs

There are factions among the oligarchs. Or are you saying both sides are exactly the same?

Specifically:

There is no "more fucked" than genocide.

There are degrees of genocide, as you can see very plainly by just reading the news.

Dude singlehandedly saved Gaza.

I'm sure the 100k people who use Lemmy swayed the millions of voters the Dems needed to defeat fascism... for another 4 years... until the next manufactured choice between "corporate whore lite" and "yet another fascist".

Congrats on saving Gaza.

The Gaza strip is 141 square miles with a 2024 estimate of over two million people. I guarantee Trump doesn't know how big it is, or the logistics required to displace that many people.

Not that he would care, but his followers need to be aware that this isn't a small city or a united group of people. You can't just send out an email and "tell" them anything. Especially after their communication infrastructure has been destroyed. So him saying they need to get out before his visit is no different than me saying he needs to resign by tomorrow.

Everyone who supports this needs to be aware that its a genocide. Supporting it is equivalent to volunteering to be part of it.

Man all those Arab Americans who voted for their orange god. Their god is cruel. Leopards ate their faces.

A small majority of Arab-Americans are Christians, mainly descended from Lebanese Maronites and members of Syrian Christian minorities like the Nestorians. There are also a few Copts. Some are descendants of immigrants from as far back as the 1920s. Many of those groups barely identify as Arabs, many have some very real grievances against Muslims, and generally aren't interested in the Palestinians (not even the Orthodox Christian Palestinians). And even among Muslim Arab-Americans, there is very little solidarity. The religious conservatives despise the Democrats for supporting women's and LGBTQ+ rights.

It's also worth noting that the majority of Palestinian-American groups endorsed the Democrats as the less-bad alternative.
