- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

The 77,303,568 of Americans who voted for Trump
Irrelevant. The 41% of arab who voted for her are not responsible for the 42% who voted for Trump
so the school of dead little Iranian girls is irrelevant now?
are the 73,459 dead Palestinians irrelevant now?
what about the 10,000 dead Iranians? are they irrelevant now?
at least 95% of those people would be alive now if Trump had lost.
He won because a significant amount American voters decided to fuck around and vote independent or not vote at all out of protest.
remind me again, when was the last time an independent was president?
sure sounds like they placed all their hopes and wishes on fixing the wrong thing at the wrong time. because of that, we sit here in our burning building waiting to be rescued from a fire 2/3 of America set.
Biden and harris was aware about israel preparing to attack Iran during their administration and let it happen. They was never going to stop israel from bombing those schools and would have still fund the war. You just mad that your terrorists in the terrorist army of the united snakes are getting injured and that your life is going to get worst with inflation
Chariots of Fire (2022): A month-long exercise that simulated a multi-front war, including long-range strike capabilities specifically designed to reach Iranian nuclear facilities.
Juniper Oak (2023): The largest-ever joint U.S.-Israel military exercise.
Date Aerial Refueling Readiness (2021-2024) : Israel accelerated the acquisition and testing of KC-46A Pegasus tankers to enable fighter jets (like the F-35) to reach Iran and return without landing in neighboring countries.
Most of them was killed during Biden. Biden, Harris and Trump should all rot in jail for their complicity with genocide and not any type of genocide a genocide of extermination
The audacity of cultists like you who only mention gaza when Biden or Harris is mentioned accusing me who regularly post about Israeli and Americans war crimes that I do not care about Palestinians . Have some shame please
Edit: Biden did not oppose Israel bombing Iranian oil facilities https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3rljzepw5yo
Of course, when you have no more valid arguments, you start shaming people who have English as a third language.
I am in a post where people like you are defending one of the two parties sending billions to a settler colonial power committing a genocide, getting mad at people opposing it regardless of their ideology and beliefs.
This is beyond American politics. As a decent human being, I have to care. The day your country stops its imperialism, you would be right.
I make grammatical mistakes, but I understand English very well, and people understand me too.
you and people like you will never understand risk mitigation because you're always focused on the dreamland of your fantasy where everyone can live in one big happy peaceful world.
that will never happen while politics, governance, and a thirst for power exist. these are not strictly American traits, these are human traits.
get over yourself.
The fact is most of the destruction happened during Biden; most of the Palestinians were massacred during Biden's term. The fact is Biden lied about wanting a ceasefire, while Trump managed to have two half-baked ones. You don't even believe that war criminals from both parties should be held accountable and rot in prison. You never posted a single post about war crimes in Lebanon, Palestine or Iran. So just fuck off.
This is the dumbest thing I ever heard. It is pretty much unique to the USA to send billions to a settler colonial power to do genocide .
I'm not contesting that, or arguing that.
I see.
Can you point out where I said that?
Irrelevant to the context of the American presidential election. that is what we were discussing after all.
the fact that you can't understand how a stable middle east directly benefits the US and is the primary reason why the US is so directly involved is telling. hint, this is part of that "politics, governance, and a thirst for power" I mentioned.
what is also telling is the abundance of blame you have for America, Biden, and democrats but a complete avoidance to place any blame on the current administration.
you're a troll, plain and simple.
The context is American foreign affairs which impact the whole world. If it was about domestic issues you would be right
The Middle East is not stable because Israel the settler colonial genocidal terroristic state got support from the West for several decades, majoritarily from your shitty country, from your two shitty political parties that are better described as cults.
My history is full of blame for the current administration, but since you pretend to care about Iran and Palestine, you are not aware. Anybody could have 99.9% posts about Trump war crimes and terrible domestic affairs and have just 1% about Biden and Harris, and you would still call them Trump and Republicans.
America deserves all the hate it has gotten for being an imperialist power since its foundation, responsible for the largest number of coups and attacked countries post-World War II.
You are the troll since you lie about me, can't address any criticism of your shitty party, and even started shaming me for my English level.
