Looks like Israel’s investment paid off.
And we can thank a lot of the “Holocaust Harris” and “Blue MAGA” “don’t vote for genocide” assholes for that too.
Does that math check out? How about the math that shows how Harris didn’t even peel off an extra 1 percent of registered republicans, despite pandering so hard to the right.
The problem isn’t the values. The values don’t matter when they are complete fiction and tailored for bubbles. The problem is that Cambridge Analytica has served as a basis for what to do, not as a basis for what not to do, and societies and democracies are getting treated like cattle with the biggest giveaway being the world richest man outright buying a social network and abusing it as he has and the people who should be most aware and reactive to it acting like if it isn’t a core portion of the problem.
This comedy bit mocks what is happening now with all the political mud slinging regarding the loss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPHH5trgC1w
And all the better that the animals in the animal farm fight against each other lest they realize whom they are a victim of.
I don’t think blaming voters is a good idea. There were signals that people would be more likely to vote for Harris if she, for example, agreed to stop sending arms to Israel (more than the voters she’d lose by doing that). The campaign ignored that… if they tell you what they want and you ignore it that’s kinda on you. Trying to rehab the Republican party (“Country over Party”) instead of going out there and hammering home her policy, how she would make things better for voters… there were lots of mistakes made.
Blame the voters? No. I blame the people telling them not to vote for “Holocaust Harris.”
It is almost always the non-voters that are the problem. In this case it was a combination of demographics that just chose not to vote at all which led to Trump winning.
She made a huge mistake by not hammering on Trump’s “Take the guns and figure out due process later,” bit. 2A is a huge issue for the Rs.
They would just think he was talking about the “other” people’s guns
Blue MAGA doesn’t exist
I am aware of this. I think you need to re-read my post.
Devastating: getting caught not reading on the internet
In my defense, I see Blue MAGA thrown around from both sides of the Palestine situation.
No.
We can thank the Dems and DNC who thought accepting millions in Israeli lobbying was worth handing the country to Trump.
It’s the Democrats fault, not the voters.
Yes, I know. Now that the election is over, all those people (I am guessing you were one of them based on your reply) screaming about how voting for Harris means voting for genocide had nothing to do with her losing at all.
After all, telling people not to vote for a candidate only helps them win, am I right?
How’d backing genocide and getting support from war criminals and white nationalists go for winning votes?
But sure it was the people against literal genocide that are the problem.
We didn’t lose because we weren’t running, this loss is 100% on the Democratic Party.
But sure it was the people against literal genocide that are the problem.
Yes. Yes you are. Because you allowed the guy who said that Netanyahu should “finish the job” on national TV get into office.
You didn’t only make that genocide worse, you let the guy who is going to start genocides of brown and queer people domestically into office.
You can claim you’re against genocide, but you’re only lying to yourself.
That’s extremely rich coming from a Zionist.
I am not a Zionist.
I have never been a Zionist.
A very quick review of my posts will show you that they have been nothing but condemning of Israeli genocide.
I have been working with Jewish Voice for Peace since this genocide began. What have you done?
Edit: 12 hours later… I guess we know what you’ve done about it. Insulted people over the internet.
Fuck no it wasn’t. This is entirely, 100% the fault of the electorate. Get out of here with that trash.
Someone wants 2028 to be a repeat.
Take this opportunity to finally reflect on what everyone has been saying since long before the Dems lost the election.
Private prisons also saw a huge bump in stock prices. GEO Group is up a shocking 26% this morning and CoreCivic—once known as Corrections Corporation of America—is up 20%.
Wow. A lot of people know what’s coming and don’t give a damn.
All they know is profit.
Why should they? We’ve been raised to only care about our needs and wants and ignoring others. America is fucked lol
The world is fucked
I hate Trump and voted for Harris and I’m spiraling today. That being said, my stocks have gone up $1,700 today, so that’s nice I guess. I don’t have faith that the market will hold for long though.
Stock prices going up doesn’t matter unless you’re selling
Trump is going to start trade wars and inflation will skyrocket again. Its all going to get fucked.
As a contrast, my 401K was up 11.7% before the election so …
Pricing in all the jjuicy tax breaks and stock buy backs from all that extra cash.
BuT hE’s NoT tHe StAtUs QuO
Covid wasnt the status quo and it made rich people richer than any other disaster in history. If you think the status quo is the only way the rich make money you’d be mistaken.
The rich actually get richer by capitalizing off of disasters.

Yep Naomi Klein has a book titled The Shock Doctrine that has explored this. Its a good read if you haven’t already.
He’s not, he’s worse
Functioning as designed.
I’m really not trying to be conspiracy brained, seriously, but won’t the DNC also be making money from a Trump presidency? Stocks/private contracts of the DNC executives aside, don’t they also get huge amounts of donations when they’re the “opposition”?
I’m not saying they purposely ran a shitty campaign, but they clearly have a “silver lining” for if Trump won compared to us normies. Man, it’s so fucked, please someone give me evidence to the contrary, I beg.
It doesn’t increase donations to lose an election. Donors like to think they are making a difference. Maybe when the midterms get rolling, but for a while they’ll be in a slump.
Assuming we have midterms
So he’s just lifting Jimmy Saville’s slogan?
No surprise to anyone.
That TRUMP WILL FIX IT line is not good. Just reminds me of Jimmy Savile
Considering Trump’s relationship with Epstein, that shouldn’t be the only reason Saville comes to mind.
trumps fix is the same kinda fix bookies used to pull on a questionable bet.
The worst people in the world are making a lot of money under Biden, too. Capitalism is the problem. Burn that shit to the ground. Limp-dick liberalism needs to die.
False dichotomy. Doesn’t have to be one or the other. It can be “more” under one party than with another.
How is it that SO MANY people literally can’t see past a false dichotomy logical fallacy? I swear every other fucking comment is like “Yuhh WELL it wouhda been the same under the LIBS” like some sort of “gotcha”.
The amount of people that desperately need a course in basic informal logic is beyond astounding.
And what would you replace it with? A violent revolution will always just result in one gang of oppressive assholes being replaced by another.
You must be making a lot of money with your comment.
