      Canada has an increasing anti immigrant sentiment right now. They’ve announced big cut backs to the number of immigrants allowed. Furthermore, moving to another country is difficult and expensive. It’s not a realistic option for most people.

        Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it’s a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.

        I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I’ve never had anyone complain about my immigration however I’ve had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.

Say goodbye to Ukraine, cause trump is gonna stop all support for them at best, and straight up support russia at the worst. 3rd party voters that voted against genocide? Congrats, you now have much worse than a dem administration when it comes to that shithole israel.

    About 6 million fewer votes for Trump than last election, which is good, but it doesn’t matter since there are 18 million fewer votes for Harris than for Biden last election! Where were those 18 million people? It can’t be that all of them are in the “I don’t vote for genocide” camp. What happened?

    It’s never been clearer that not voting gives the election to the Republicans.

          Trump is gonna triple-down on the Palestinian genocide and pull all support from Ukraine and probably pull out of NATO to let Putin do whatever he wants to Europe.

          He’s also promised violence against Americans who oppose him.

          If Trump wins because enough of you idiots couldn’t hold your nose and vote then the blood of those Palestinians is on your hands. You don’t get to absolve yourself because you chose not to participate in democracy.

          You aren’t opposed to genocide because you couldn’t be assed to do the smallest thing to mitigate it.

          Is trump going to do anything different though?

          Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

          https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905

          If the above is true, I don’t know why anyone would bring his up. It’s like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.

      If you honestly believe the situation in Palestine will be better with the Cheeto in charge of the US, then you are insane.

      The US is a deeply flawed democracy, and like it or not, any choice other than voting for the Democrats, including abstaining is a vote for the Cheeto.

      But you are a .ml user, so you are either trolling or a useful idiot.

          I said this before, and I’ll say it again, since both parties in the election (don’t try and claim that the greens have any hope of winning, they only serve to split the Democrat vote) seem disinterested in the horrific situation in Palestine, you pick the least bad candidate.

          If you don’t, you get the worst candidate for everyone.

          I am not American, but if I were, I’d pick Harris no question.

          Since you are supporting Trump, tell me, how does is feel supporting a sexist, racist, convicted felon who also supports genocide?

          Remember that in the US idiotic election system, any vote other than the Dems is a vote for the Reps, and any vote for the Reps is a vote for a worse society.

      Haha, yeah that’ll show em!

      Now instead of having a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians you’ll have… checks notes … a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians. Wait there’s more here… doesn’t believe in climate change, a guy who actively wants to prove that vaccines don’t work actually in charge of health related shit, enabling the genocide of Ukraine (hey a whole new genocide!), pulling out of alliances and what’s this last fun one, threatening the already flawed foundations of US democracy by, among other things, threatening to deploy the military against political opponents.

      Is that what winning and being morally superior looks like? Because it looks pretty awful from here.

      Seriously? Fuck you. This supports the genocide of every LGBTQ+ person in all of North America, be it directly or indirectly. No one wants what is happening in Gaza. But, I have to say the potential genocide (in the complete erasure of culture as well as open murders with little to no consequences sense) here is even higher.

      I have the unfortunate circumstance of being a trans woman in GA. I already have had to completely shut off most contact with people, both work and personal.

      I’ve already had rocks thrown at me in an attempt to kill me (this was years ago, even). I already feel like I have to carry a gun. If things go the way they seem, I will even have to order in groceries because it will further empower the people that hate my existence.

      The foreign policy is shit, no question. However, I don’t like the possibility of being raped and murdered by some asshole that thinks he understands Co² emissions after watching some video.

      I have a lot to say here, especially as a very blue collar machinist. I will refrain, though.

      In conclusion: by “avoiding” the genocide in Gaza (which may have been resolved), you have also doomed people like me to maybe live in fear for the rest of our lives.

        Honestly I’m wondering if that’s why the margin Trump is winning is so “huge”. The US will never vote for a woman president. Both times Trump has gone up against a woman, he’s won. But against a man, he lost.

        This proves that you need to at least pander to the left to win, i.e. the only consistently anti-genocide group in the country. Maybe you should join them instead of tolerating genocide.
