Yes, you've already established that you can't comprehend chosing the "least bad" option and that you find fascism entertaining to witness. Do you have anything of substance to add or are you just going to keep saying the same thing?
You can't even spell hypocrite, so I don't believe you know what that word means.
And no, Trump has frequently said that he'll actively help end the war in Gaza (but not through peace). He is going to help wipe them off of the map. It's not just "no finger wagging". It's scorched earth, and for some reason you find that "entertaining".
Nice one, are you actually 12?
Our choices were status quo (sending bombs and finger wagging) or fascism (turning Gaza to glass and bulldozing it so that Israel can complete their genocide and take the land for themselves). The country chose fascism. If you're saying Trump is better in this regard, then you need to work on your critical thinking skills.
Guess what‽ It no longer matters what Kamala would have done, she lost the election. Trump has promised to help Israel wipe Gaza off the map to end the war. Since you find his fascist antics entertaining, you're in for that treat.
Also, how much time do you save by not typing out "your"?
"what about.."
I don't doubt that the Dems had a poor campaign. However, I'm totally allowed to blame the dumbasses that voted for fascism. These dumbasses are ultimately the ones that filled the box for our authoritarian future. I'll say it again: fuck them.
Glad you find fascism entertaining. You'll enjoy Trump turning Gaza to glass then.
Biden shouldn't have seeked a second term in the first place. If I recall correctly, in his 2020 campaign he claimed he would step aside after his term, and now that he didn't hold to it, we're screwed. The Dems never had a full campaign, and Biden (unintentionally) sabotaged any chance they had to win. This is definitely how he'll be remembered.
I'm trans and I'm terrified, terrified for my queer friends and family, terrified for Ukraine and Palestine, and terrified for the planet.
If you didn't vote or voted for this piece of shit, fuck you. If you voted for him, you deserve the massive inflation and shit he's about to put you through.
I think I need to stop following this at this point. I wish everyone the best.
AP decision desk update for Arizona:
Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, has reported its first votes. The massive county is key for candidates. Its first update included more than a million votes, about half of the expected total there. The first reported votes were ballots that arrived or were cast ahead of Election Day. County election officials have warned it could take as long as 13 days to tabulate all ballots.
It depends on the state. In some states, they're counted first, but some states do the opposite and some (NV) don't release any data until everyone is out of the poll lines. The final numbers will also vary since many states just require a post mark on or before election day - these "late" votes are counted last.
AP decision desk update for Michigan:
More than half of Michigan’s 83 counties had not reported any votes two hours after polls closed in much of the state. Only a handful of votes had been reported in Wayne and Macomb counties in the Detroit area, which tend to favor Democrats and Republicans, respectively.
Updates from AP's decision desk:
Virginia:
As of about 9:30 p.m. EST, Harris isn’t doing as well as Biden in election returns at the same time during his race four years ago. Election officials in several counties in Virginia have also not yet reported results for votes cast by mail, which tend to favor Democrats. The race is too early to call.
North Carolina:
Trump is leading Harris by roughly 4 percentage points with more than half of the expected votes counted. Many of the state’s most populous counties haven’t reported significant numbers of votes cast in person on or before Election Day. In North Carolina, votes cast before Election Day made up 83% of total votes in 2020 and 58% in 2022.
Unfortunately (but probably not surprisingly) AP just called Texas for Trump.
As of this comment and according to AP, Trump is only winning by a little more than a percentage point with 51% of the count remaining. It's not time to doom over VA yet.
More than 4,000 mail ballot applications have been challenged across 14 Pennsylvania counties, leaving election officials to decide eligibility during hearings that will extend well past Election Day.

Better in what way? This is why people are asking. How are we supposed to provide "better" alternatives when you won't explain what would make it better?
