    Elections have consequences. Americans knew what they voted for. They fucked around and they are going to find out.

      Biden/Harris knew they’d lose the left if they continued to ship weapons and they shipped them anyway. So here we are.

        Nobody is spending millions on an election campaign when they knew they were going to lose my dude.

          yeah, I don’t understand why people think that it will not change anything here, first with the war next door, and we’re living on the same earth so the climate will be impacted everywhere not just locally in the US

          [edit] also: what do you mean, YOU people?!

            So you actively want to be invaded by Russia? You want to be part of their imperial fascist regime?

            NATO is the only thing preventing that, and Putin knows.

            Why else do you think Putin spend so much of the Russian Propaganda machine actively making Europe more xenophobic and get so many extremist right-wing governments in play?

            Do you think the ones trying to revive the USSR are going to stop at Ukraine?

            I’d love for NATO to not exist. But as long as countries are afraid of being invaded by their neighbors, NATO is necessary. Russia is therefore the reason for NATO’s existence.

      As much as I hate this its correct.

      With lying, external influence, racism, terrorism and general crime he was just democratically elected. Supporting democracy means that it has to be followed.

      It’s wrong, its a bad move, but its democracy.

        No, the US constitution literally has a protection for this exact scenario: the electoral college. The founding fathers knew that the general population was stupid and could fall victim to a tyrant, so the EC was supposed to vote against the popular vote if that happened. They couldn’t have forseen the internet, though.

        Our government has a responsibility to protect the country and the constitution from those who seek to destroy it, and Trump and gang seek to destroy it. They all should face a military tribunal for sedition and treason, and be hung for it.
