Yep. Lots of people wouldn't vote for Kamala for this or that reason, but it was objectively the correct decision and it's your fault we're in this mess if you sat out.

u/Kaizodacoit 1d ago

Not really. If you are pissed about a freaking game console getting too expensive and not your money going to foreign countries for genocide, then your priorities are weird.

22

u/Fast-Noise4003 1d ago

Lol, now MORE of your money will be going to foreign countries for genocide. Just look at how this Trump administration is handling foreign policy..

If your true intention was harm reduction, then you should have voted for Harris. If you're just disingenuously trying to justify your horrible vote, yeah sure keep going

-13

u/Kaizodacoit 1d ago

Same amount of money is going in. In fact, Trump actually sanctioned Israel, so less money is going, lmao.

Harris wasn't focused on harm reduction; also, my vote wouldn't have mattered if it was a blue state. But continue cheering for genocide because your girlboss didn't win. Sure shows how "moral and empathetic" and focused on "harm reduction" you are.

u/Opening-Candidate160 19h ago

also, my vote wouldn't have mattered if it was a blue state.

OK so you live in a red/ swing state? So it's your fault, and you just don't want to take accountability lmao.

What have you actually done to help people affected by the genocide besides post online about how its wrong?

Agree, genocide bad. Luckily the Trump admin is much stronger on this issue than Kamala's team /s

u/Kaizodacoit 1d ago

Where did I say Trump is better?

Imagine being so depraved you're happy that a genocide is getting worse simply because your genocide supporting leader lost.

u/Revegelance 4h ago

You said Trump was better when you refused to vote against him.

-1

u/Kaizodacoit 4h ago

No, that doesn't mean that. Geez, no wonder the rest of the world thinks Americans are dumb.

2

u/Revegelance 3h ago

The rest of the world thinks Americans are dumb because they elected a fascist dictator. And so many people who had the power to stop it, just... decided not to.

You let perfect be the enemy of good, and now you're paying the price. So have fun with that.

-2

u/doberdevil 1d ago

I got you. Nobody thought Trump was gonna be any better, but a vote for Kamala was a vote that sanctioned murdering innocent people, and well, that's not ok with me. People act like it's ok to support the "lesser evil" of two bad choices. Democrats have successfully used this play for decades and still keep screwing the people over.

For anyone pissed about their toys costing more, go and read about what happens every day in Gaza, and what you think was fine to support because "Trump is worse".

So now the war in gaza continues, as well as America becoming worse

Prove it

u/AcrobaticPanda5975 1d ago

Ok look around you dipshit. That's literally all the proof you need

-4

u/Hobbes_XXV 1d ago

You can Prove this timeline. Its impossible to say the correct decision was another candidate that failed to appease. Really, there was no correct decision because whatever went wrong with the other candidates if they were voted in instead, youd be sitting here saying the same thing. Jump off the seesaw. No looking back, start dealing with the future and stfu on what cant be undone.

u/Technical-Title-5416 1d ago

Bullshit. 5 things for certain wouldn't be happening.

  1. This stupid fucking tariff laden trade war wouldn't be happening.

  2. People wouldn't be getting snatched off the street without ANY due process.

  3. The richest foreigner in the world wouldn't be given the most singly powerful position ever afforded to any individual person.

  4. We wouldn't be trying to annex Canada.

  5. We wouldn't be trying to annex Greenland.

You cannot to spin any of these points to be congruent with the Constitution, or the core principles of the philosophies in which this country was founded.

-2

u/Hobbes_XXV 1d ago

Exactly, those things most likely wouldnt be happening, it would be something else that would cause an uproar by the opposing party. Its nothing but a point finger and blame others game no matter who was voted in. "were in this cause others didnt vote" or "were in this because they voted more." Does nothing to the fact that were here and have to fight and crawl our way through the mud. Were in a nintendo thread for gods sake.

2

u/Hungry-Plenty3646 19h ago

I agree blaming people doesnt help, but if kamala won, the uproar would be a woman being president vs trumps economic collapse

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

If you take your eyes off your phone screen for two seconds, legitimately nothing has changed.

u/AxelHarver 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nothing has changed except for the stock market, the concept of due process, the firing of thousands of workers doing very important jobs such as cancer research, fighting bird flu, and holding Musk and Trump accountable for anything, people being illegally sent to a glorified concentration camp, alienating all of our allies and setting China up to be the new world leader, going back on our long-standing deal with Ukraine that if they surrender their nuclear weapons we would protect them from Russian aggression. The list goes on and on. But sure, I suppose nothing has changed if you bury your head deep enough in the sand.

Edit: If you downvote me without replying, you're a coward.

2

u/ComparisonDesigner 1d ago

Nothing glorified about the concentration camps that the US has. They get 1 cup of water in 24 hours. I don't know why the UN hasn't stepped in and ended this. Instead of killing people outright, the US has decided to just dehydrate them to death.

u/KitchenRaspberry137 1d ago

... you are incapable of ordering this console at the same time that other countries are...and it will cost more when you do. It's spelled out in this thread. Do you have difficulty reading?

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago edited 1d ago

I couldn't give less of a shit, I'm actually happy with my consoles and couldn't care less that grown adults are crying that Mario is more expensive. Maybe, I don't know, stop consuming if you're sick of consumerism? Just a thought.

5

u/KitchenRaspberry137 1d ago

You just changed the subject. You said nothing changed. It did. Now you're just telling me how you feel. Which has no bearing on it what you originally said. I don't care how you feel. How you feel doesn't magically change the facts at hand.

u/voobo420 1d ago

Didn’t the current admin promise near immediate change?

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

You trust politicians?

3

u/voobo420 1d ago

No lol, I’m saying that was one of the huge talking points by the current admin and the right ate it up. I’m pointing out how you saying “nothing has changed” isn’t the gotcha you think it is, but also it simply isn’t true.

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

Nothing has changed (for me).

There, is that better?

3

u/voobo420 1d ago

Yeah, clarity is important after all. Next time say that instead of trying to make it seem like people are making up the things happening.

3

u/Technical-Title-5416 1d ago

People are being snatched off the street with ZERO due process. WTF are you talking about?

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

And what happens? Oh yes, they get released when their citizenship is confirmed. You purposefully just spit out the rage bait news headline portion and completely leave out the important part.

3

u/Technical-Title-5416 1d ago

What are you talking about? Which headline?

Are we talking about Rumeysa Ozturk? She's still being held AFAIK. Or the guy they shipped to El Salvador that was here legally? The guy the DoJ is appealing the decision by a federal judge to have him returned? Which of these is rage bait, rather than genuine rage inducing?

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

Two people out of thousands monthly doesn't mean jack at the end of the day. The important part is that the vast majority of people being deported are actually guilty.

3

u/superxero1 1d ago

They have been deporting hundreds, without due process. And then bragging about ignoring a judge and trying to get that same judge impeached for trying to stop the deportations without due process. This was on right wing media and the admin itself. You are absolutely the one living under a rock.

3

u/Technical-Title-5416 1d ago

Wasn't this just you?

"And what happens? Oh yes, they get released when their citizenship is confirmed. You purposefully just spit out the rage bait news headline portion and completely leave out the important part."

So none of your original statement has any validity now? First they let them go once they're confirmed, and it's dishonest rage bait. Now it's "just 2 people". So people are only deserving of due process when whoever allows it? Am I understanding this correctly?

They admitted they sent the wrong person but their reply is 🤷🏼‍♂️ and then go as far as to appeal the decision to return them. Just admit you love fascism and hate the Constitution.

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

Yes, they do get released once their citizenship is confirmed. That is the case for the majority of legal citizens that are detained by ICE. Two people accidentally being deported doesn't change that. Your using incredibly isolated instances to argue why an objectively good thing is actually bad, literally just because you hate the people doing it. The Biden and Obama administration actually deported more people than Trump, yet for them they were protecting our country and enforcing the law, right? Just admit you're a hypocrite that's blinded by cognitive dissonance already.

u/Champiiion 1d ago

Buddy the stock market has been crashing since tariffs were announced. They have also been deporting legal immigrants without due process. Those are just 2 things off the top of my head.

-11

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

...That you only know about because of the Internet. Again, take your eyes off your phone and nothing has changed, Buddy.

7

u/Champiiion 1d ago

I don’t understand your argument here. Also things don’t just change overnight. The federal government is a slow process designed that way on purpose. If you want things to start affecting my day to day life it will probably take a couple weeks till I start feeling the tariffs. But I guess as an attorney I see the lack of process not in person but in my field of work. If your argument is if you can only physically see things then it’s a problem, I guess ignorance is bliss.

-9

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

I'm not ignoring anything, genuinely nothing that has happened in the government has affected me as of yet, so I don't care. It's pretty simple to understand.

That’s republicans for you. They don’t care about others, as long as they’re one foot above the totem pole as someone else they’re happy.

Lmao, as long as I'm the last one that doesn't sound too bad.

u/Dragonlicker69 1d ago

So by "take your eyes off your phone" you mean "shove your head up your ass"

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

No, I mean take your eyes off your phone. But if you want to bring your kinks into this, you do you.

u/_dodged 1d ago

You are the living embodiment of the "this is fine" dog in a burning room meme.

1

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

Lmao, yeah accept my room isn't burning. I actually work in the US manufacturing industry and my company has been getting record levels of business requests in the last few days. I've discussed it with the higher ups and they've told us that if this continues (which it will considering the tariffs haven't even went in full effect) we all get fat raises. I'm doing just fine pal.

u/_dodged 1d ago edited 1d ago

No, you're right. All those economists, foreign leaders, business leaders, politicians, even a growing number of republicans, the entire stock markets across the world, and pretty much the overwhelming majority of analysts and consumers must be wrong. You've been making money in the last couple of days so things must be great everywhere for everyone! What was that other meme? The one about principal Skinner saying something along the line of "Could it be that I am so out of touch? mmm no, it's the children who are wrong."

edited to add: Nice going with the report to https://www.reddit.com/r/suicidewatch/ how fucking pathetic. Can't handle having your little world view challenged...

u/Hammerrrr32 1d ago

lol try saying this when you go shopping in the next month or two. Stop being an idiot

u/FD_OSU 1d ago

If you just ignore all of the bad things happening, it's like nothing has changed!

What sort of point do you think you're making?

2

u/SPHINXin 1d ago

"bad things" lmao deporting illegals that broke the law and your groceries getting a bit more expensive in the hope that the American industrial complex becomes stronger are not bad things. Maybe stop trying to look at things as only black or white and accept that everything is actually a shade of grey.

5

u/ippa99 1d ago edited 1d ago

Oh, so the groceries did get more expensive? So you can't even keep up the lie that "nothing has changed".

Stop being a child and grow up. The only way you can hold this viewpoint without being a shill or liar is if you legitimately don't have a job, and someone else is paying your living expenses.

u/no_talent_ass_clown 1d ago

You're too ignorant to know how to form an opinion so sit down

1

u/Hobbes_XXV 1d ago

You got that from someone blanketly saying something that doesnt exist was correct? Its not an opinion, it factually cannot be proven that another person was better or not. I wholeheartedly dont agree with whata going on, but sitting around bitching about some selfish child baby running a government isnt doing anything. Have to figure out how to handle it.
