Or they are just quiet because they realize they've placed Gaza into the hands of Netanyahu's allies in the US and there's literally no way to defend this outcome.

"They" didn't. All of America did. I still don't understand how anyone thinks Gaza had anything with Harris's loss. I very much doubt the 10 million non/protest voters all didn't vote for Harris because of Gaza, or that there are even 10 million people in the US that care about Gaza enough to accept another Trump term.

Okay that's fair I didn't know that, but still the only thing that can be said about that is "Trump bad", which we all already know.

I mean what's there to say? Yeah we know Trump fucking sucks what do you want them to do? There's barely anything to say when he hasn't done anything ywt.

That and Israel doesn't NEED our weapons to keep doing what they're doing, they never have.

Uh... Seriously look up what political scientists have to say about this. Israel uses too much, well, everything compared to what they can produce themselves.

Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran

And how is that a bad thing? Israel wouldn't be able to do this shit if the US wasn't protecting it from its neighbors.

Doesn't being ineligible for president also make you ineligible for VP?

It's kind of scary to think that this man could literally die any day and there'll be nobody to take his place.

I guess reality is stranger than fiction.

Huh? He entered the primary twice so he was definitely trying to get things done but there's only so much you can do in a corporate-controlled senate.

Where have we failed?

You know how Europe is mostly ethnically homogeneous? Well thanks to European and American escapades into the Middle East they're becoming less ethnically homogeneous, and because of that xenophobic right wing rhetoric works on them a lot more than Americans. Add the post-covid economy and other legitimate issues where those immigrants can be scapegoated and Europeans welcome far right parties with open arms, because unlike Americans they're not inoculated against these ideas.

Someone might point to the result of this election, to which I say there's a reason people are angry at the DNC and it's because they could've won if they were actually trying. It's completely different from Europe where young people are shifting right.

Anyway what I wanna say is that this outcome was basically inevitable because in a parliamentary system like in most European countries the government will be too moderate to stop it.
