A gentle reminder to not blame your allies today. The only person you should blame for Harris's loss is Kamala Harris (and maybe Joe Biden).

The problem was the one-third of eligible people who didn't vote, the people who wanted an immaculate president, and when they didn't get it, took a stupid, petulant moral high ground. Abstention and voting in protest only helps the enemy.

Anyone who thinks the Gaza situation or the treatment of muslims will improve under Trump is a fucking moron.
- This is nonsense sorry. Polls shows 50:50 split between Dems and Rep, but the reality is 1/3:1/3 with 1/3 of the electorate and disengaged. The voters aren't the problem, it's the fucked up 2 party system which has been massaged by both parties over many decades to prevent any competition.
  
  Why should voters feel loyal to either of those parties? Don't blame voters for not wanting to chose between two crap choices. To many, both the Dems and Reps are the enemy. Why expect them to care if one side or the other think there is an existential crisis in the shitty system they shaped?
- I think people just want a president who doesn't materially support genocide. If that is too high a bar, then your country deserves what it gets.
  
  So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.
  
  Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so
  
  Lol no "they'd" rather have a president who doesn't materially support genocide, but seems like that wasn't something people were allowed to vote for.
  
  In other words they didn’t want to chose the lesser evil so they were fine with either option
  
  Amazing decision.
  
  Or, it could mean they weren't fine with either option? "We're not quite as evil as the other guy" isn't the campaign slogan you seem to think it is.
- Glad to hear you liberals finally outright say arabs and Muslims are fucking morons and took a petulant high ground instead of.... Voting for their own genocide.
  
  You all continue to improve you're just as racist as red maga, with more condescension.
- If your choices are between honest genocide and dishonest genocide I guess people will choose the side with more virtues.
