Trump said he would probably announce a position on Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank in the next month

After calling for the permanent ‘resettlement’ of all Palestinians from Gaza earlier in the day, Trump said the US would ‘take over’ and ‘own’ the Gaza Strip. The US president said he envisioned ‘long-term’ US ownership of Gaza after Palestinians were moved elsewhere

    we’re all on the same side against fascism

    Then where were those people in November when it freaking mattered?

    I’m absolutely entitled to hold a grudge against the single-issuers who helped get us here. Actions, or in this case, inactions have consequences, and I’m not going to coddle them when they come crawling back to reality after they were told over and over again what was at stake.

      Your argument is only valid to an EXTREMELY small selection of people in 4 battleground states, but you project it to every leftist who criticized the Biden Kamala admin for allowing Gaza to be destroyed.

      It’s much easier to place blame on made up people who have no power than it is to place the blame on the fact that our government systems have allowed this to happen. Why did the Democrats maintain full control of congress and yet nothing was done. They are the ones who held the power to stop this, yet nothing was done. Do not blame 10,000 individuals some with family who have been killed in Gaza when the blame should be placed on our government systems and Democratic parties.

      We should instead be uniting on solutions to these problems not shoving blame down leftists throats who the vast majority of are not responsible for the problem at hand.

        That’s a lot of blame shifting there.

        The facts are:

        • Our elections are FPTP and no amount of wishing it was otherwise was going to change that
        • Even if people thought Harris wouldn’t have been great, it took zero additional brain cells to realize Trump would have been will be is infinitely worse.
        • Yes, I will “shove it down the leftists throats”, as you say, since they were big cheerleaders against voting for the only candidate that stood a chance of defeating Trump. Sowing doubt/division when we should have been unified against that threat (wasn’t that what you were originally chastising me for?)
        • The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what was at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

        I haven’t browsed your history, and at this point, I don’t care to, but if that’s the kind of messaging you were throwing out up to November, then YOU. ARE. AT. LEAST. PARTIALLY. RESPONSIBLE.

          -The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

          Insane take and that’s all I have left to say 😂. Feel free to continue supporting democrats on your hedonic treadmill instead of moving towards a better world for everyone.
