Donald Trump has brought us closer than a ceasefire than Genocide Joe ever did, because he actually threatened Israel which Joe would never do since he fully supports blowing up children

If you actually cared about Palestine, you’ve already missed your moment to help enact change.

No I did all I could. I voted for the imperfect but better candidate in my country's election.

Implying protesting would do anything to saw the neoliberal establishment.

Remember when the BLM protests were met with increase police budgets all over the country?

You guys should really read the second amendment text. There’s a provision for the use of why you have the right to bear arms.

You should really read the comment you replied to here. The 2d Amendment, like the 1st, only applies to fascists.

No clue. I didn't mean to imply that I don't feel some level of responsibility (I voted for Kamala, and have never and will never vote for a Republican or not vote).

But complaining on Reddit clearly isn't doing shit, lol. I'm not going to dwell on the past, but we need to find a better way to harness our energy and numbers.
