In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

No it was not worth it. Biden should have stuck to one term president, there should have been a primary. Kamala was so embarrassing with her line of "fundamentally, nothing will change" when asked how she would be different from Biden.

I don't care for the Democrats. Kamala's campaign was misguided. Continued unwavering support for fascist apartheid Israel. Democrats always reaching right for more votes while the left is right fucking here if you'll throw us a goddamn bone!

That being said, if you didn't vote for her you have literally caused what is happening now.

Palestine saved! USA destroyed! Mission Accomplished!

Run on healthcare and you win, the dems cant even do that yet you blame the people and not the system, pathetic.

Keep burying your head in the sand and see how much better it will get

bidens no surprise billing was a significant improvement to obama care. they did not run on it as a single issue but its nuts that anyone would not want to keep stuff like that going as opposed to when trump was last in and kicked out one of the legs.

I'm wide awake. I used to travel for work and now I'm staying home so I have my rifle ready.

Everyone knows what Trump is! I feel like I'm screaming into the void. His cult loves what he is, the other oligarchs love what co prez Elon is up to!

"Blue maga, genocide Joe" has disappeared because it was an op. Leaving us with the useful idiots who parroted that shit.

As I've said several times I hate the fucking democrats! They learned absolutely nothing from when the republicans were the opposition. Do nothing, sit on your hands, threaten to shutdown the government. Over and over.

If you voted for anyone but Kamala you knew what Trump was going to be. Got them clean hands. Hope they stay clean of others' blood and don't end up catching your own life spilling through your fingers when the SS shows up.

No we haven't, we're absolutely still here. And no, it was not "an op", you conspiracy theorist.
