No one here is rooting for genocide

Literally the Democratic leadership is. They're even doing more: they are funding it.

It's not good, but it's better.

I agree it's better, but it's still not good enough for me to vote for. I understand why people held their nose and voted for Harris, but I was unwilling to do the same. We have different standards. I've seen the Democrats continuously fight against the policies that I want, and so I chose 'nah' over them. So did a lot of other people, so maybe they should incorporate that into their strategy next time.

if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.

I find this hilarious coming in support of a party who chose the ideological purity of genocide and money, instead of chosing a popular stance and winning the election.

Actually, we know that Biden wasn't trying. They just came out and admitted that. And we didn't have any hope with Kamala, because she was clearly explicit that she was going to continue to support Israel.

And congrats on voting for genocide. I'm sure that everyone in the US who is losing their rights are happy that your party chose genocide, over winning what should have been an easy election.

Yeah, that is how it works. I don't fight against genocide because I think I'm going to win, I fight against genocide because I think it's evil. You may be OK with genocide, but I'm not.

Additionally, genocide is just 1 out of ~50 other things that I'm against, that Harris stood for. Why should I vote for a candidate that's proud to stand with the Cheneys? Or a candidate that wants to continue to be a "leathal fighting force"? Why should I vote for a candidate that thought bombing children was OK? Or a candidate that proudly stood behind a rapist?

Yes, I proudly stand against genocide, and all of those other things. Maybe the real issue is that the Democrats shouldn't run in favor of them.

I'm happy she lost, but I'm also sad that Trump won. Why should our choice be between to pro-genocide candidates?

Maybe the next time the Dems should try something new and run a candidate that campaigns on what the voters want.

Yeah, which is why we loudly told the dem to stop running an unpopular campaign. It seems like she decided helping out with a genocide was more important than winning the election

Which 3rd party voter said that Trump would be better? I don't think I've ever seen them say that.

I've only heard liberals who apparently are in support of genocide say that.

I moved to using a safety razor and it works great. You can get blades for super cheap.

Also, I don't need shaving cream, just hot water in my shower. That doesn't always apply to everyone though. Some people's skin/hair are different, and they need different things to shave.

I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn't saturate your family's internet connections.

lol, that's how I did my trip to Germany. I got my first hotel for only a few days, then decided when/where to go next based on that. Rinse-Repeat for a few weeks
