After calling for the permanent ‘resettlement’ of all Palestinians from Gaza earlier in the day, Trump said the US would ‘take over’ and ‘own’ the Gaza Strip. The US president said he envisioned ‘long-term’ US ownership of Gaza after Palestinians were moved elsewhere

    Keep these coming. Don’t let these people forget their culpability in single-issuing us to fascism or let them blame shift.

      Agreed, 100%. People spouting that nonsense should be laughed and pointed at IRL when they start up with their nonsense.

      Yes keep saying this it will ensure people vote for democrats next time! It won’t alienate the shrinking base at all. People love it when you blame them for not voting for a candidate that did nothing to address people’s concerns or issues!

      There’s no reason to infight we’re all on the same side against fascism and western hegemony.

        Wouldn’t it be nice if it were true. But let’s not fool ourselves, it’s far from true.

          I agree and would love to work towards a world where that is true, unfortunately people love their infighting.

          Doing anything is far better than arguing about what and where the blame is placed infinitely.

        Ok prove it get your republican goons to enforce the checks and balances against what’s happening.

        Until then you’re not on any side against this.

          your republican goons

          What are you even talking about man? I’m about as far away from Republican as it gets. Try having a conversation before lobbing insults, I know it’s hard nowadays but it can be done.

        Then where were those people in November when it freaking mattered?

        I’m absolutely entitled to hold a grudge against the single-issuers who helped get us here. Actions, or in this case, inactions have consequences, and I’m not going to coddle them when they come crawling back to reality after they were told over and over again what was at stake.

          Your argument is only valid to an EXTREMELY small selection of people in 4 battleground states, but you project it to every leftist who criticized the Biden Kamala admin for allowing Gaza to be destroyed.

          It’s much easier to place blame on made up people who have no power than it is to place the blame on the fact that our government systems have allowed this to happen. Why did the Democrats maintain full control of congress and yet nothing was done. They are the ones who held the power to stop this, yet nothing was done. Do not blame 10,000 individuals some with family who have been killed in Gaza when the blame should be placed on our government systems and Democratic parties.

          We should instead be uniting on solutions to these problems not shoving blame down leftists throats who the vast majority of are not responsible for the problem at hand.

            That’s a lot of blame shifting there.

            The facts are:

            • Our elections are FPTP and no amount of wishing it was otherwise was going to change that
            • Even if people thought Harris wouldn’t have been great, it took zero additional brain cells to realize Trump would have been will be is infinitely worse.
            • Yes, I will “shove it down the leftists throats”, as you say, since they were big cheerleaders against voting for the only candidate that stood a chance of defeating Trump. Sowing doubt/division when we should have been unified against that threat (wasn’t that what you were originally chastising me for?)
            • The people failed, not the government. We had a free and fair election, saw what was at stake, and still people decided to sit it out or throw their vote away.

            I haven’t browsed your history, and at this point, I don’t care to, but if that’s the kind of messaging you were throwing out up to November, then YOU. ARE. AT. LEAST. PARTIALLY. RESPONSIBLE.

              Insane take and that’s all I have left to say 😂. Feel free to continue supporting democrats on your hedonic treadmill instead of moving towards a better world for everyone.
