Defending the economy when we all know our paychecks are shrinking relative to rising costs wasn’t a wise move by the Democrats. The Republicans didn’t offer any sane and sensible solutions, scapegoating immigrants is absurd, but they acknowledged that the economy isn’t doing well for a lot of people and that actually resonated with many.

A millennia old Arabic saying goes something like: “If you honor the generous, you will own him… but if you honor the ignoble, he will rebel.” We all know leading through example is wasted on people like Trump.

The Babylon Bee is unfunny right wing trash, but the Democrats walked right into this one. You can’t tell us Trump is a threat to democracy and then peacefully transfer power to him.

“If you were able to overlook a genocide and cast a vote for Harris, you already know how a conservative was able to overlook Trump ’s extremism and vote for him.” – Historian Robin D.G. Kelley

The Democrats had 4 years to do something about it and didn’t. “Vote for us or else” is not a long term strategy, all it takes is losing one or two elections.

Genocide is a redline for me, though I understand why to many Harris voters the mass slaughter of people halfway across the world is a non-issue.

Imagine being an indigenous woman and hearing this.

Other countries are reporting different and positive results. I think this is the kind of thing that we will see the outcome of decades later. It will be interesting to see how much of the perceived negative impact is due to ingrained racism and xenophobia especially in the West.

This is a 2004 map I think

The world will be split between countries that trade freely with China and countries that don’t.

This will be the test and control for whether trading with China is good or bad.

Old news but relevant with the historical revisionism going on now.

The livestreamed genocide that Biden enabled and Harris defended is Kremlin disinformation?

You don’t the Democrats bankrolling a genocide for a year and campaigning with the Cheneys had anything to do with it?

Remember when everyone hated Cheney? Not sure why the Democrats thought they would help them win an election.

Alienation caused by economics

Fascists have a message for them, the liberals don’t because they are committed to the current economic and political system

Oh they learned their lessons:

1. blame minorities
2. shift further right

Israel’s longest war is against a sieged concentration camp.

A good Arab government is an oxymoron it seems. We are living in hell.

Perhaps if Israel and the US leave the region alone things can be stable. If the US just leaves Israel alone, things would have resolved itself decades ago, instead it enables its war crimes with political and military support. Equating all sides suggests that you are either underinformed or chauvinistic.

You clearly should have stayed in nursery school.
