  • That’s cool because Trump stance was even more extreme, but since he’s saying insane things every minute, no one batted an eye. But Harris had to be perfect. How do you even reconcile what you say with the reality you have in front of you.

    Trump said in no uncertain terms that he would back Israel, he’s confirming it today and you still spout that “both sides” inane shit.

    What more do you need to admit that your point is bullshit.

    With Harris, there was a sliver of hope that there could be change and with Trump it was sure that Israel would do whatever it wanted. You look at that shitty situation all around, and you still think Harris was the worst choice versus the openly fascist dictator?

    There is no sane universe where you can defend that point of view, yet here we are.

    Palestine is fucked, good luck Ukraine, and fuck any American that isn’t white, Christian and straight I guess. But hey, both sides, right?


  • So then enlighten us on what the right choice was in that context if you have answers to everything.

    This isn’t a fucking movie where one heroic group of people overturn a full government.

    The genocide is happening regardless of who got elected. But now, there is absolutely no chance that the genocide ends. At least with Harris, there was a sliver of hope.

    Gaza will be glassed now a 100%, and become a new beach front for Israel.

    Good luck Ukraine, I hope that Europe steps up, because the Russian asset now has the control of the 3 branches.

    And good luck Americans, because for the vast majority of you, life is about to get a lot worst.

    But hey, at least you get to keep your fucking smug attitude of living in unicorn land. I mean, the guy openly said he would be a dictator on day 1, but somehow, Harris had to be fucking impeccable, otherwise, schmucks like would come out of the woodworks to spout your fucking “both sides are the same” rhetoric.



  • Yeah but that time is long gone. Finance is throwing number in air of growth and profitability that must be met no matter what, and IT have to battle between what is effective, what the company tell them to do and what the users want, and in many case, the IT has a misplaced elitist attitude, like every user should know the infrastructure by heart and fix their problem themselves.



  • I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.

    To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.

    I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.

    Still, they were elected.

    At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.

    I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.

    Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.

    This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.

    For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.

    And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.

    It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.
