    • voter apathy
    • he didn’t win by as many votes as the largest election against him (2020)
    • he was never popular among all people, but is among voting people
    • electoral college doesn’t make sense

    We have a broken election system here in the states, but not a popular president.

          I can’t agree with this. Both of the parties are pretty evil, and I am pretty strongly against the Democratic party, but I can’t agree that they are just as fascist. Sure, the Democrats helped build out the tools for fascism, and they don’t really put up a fight against the fascists, but there is a difference, however small it might be.

          Republicans however also: deport people with a legal right to be in the country, including citizens, without due process. Want to destroy all progress made on issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Wish to reduce women’s rights, some including voting rights. Want to abolish the separation between church and state.

          Even if there is a close resemblance between the two parties on Gaza, but there are plenty of other issues where they are still incomparable, and ignoring these differences and calling both parties equally bad does not help.

          Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.

              I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.

          continuing to claim this in the face of what’s currently occurring in the US is not simply naive, it’s downright idiotic

        And the voters who support Palestine sure did a good job keeping the worst of two options out.

        Ohhh well, at this rate the Palestinian question, likely won’t be an issue next election.
