Being a Jew in America right now is so bizarre. The president's right hand man endorses a far-right German party that wants to remove Holocaust memorials and ban the sale of kosher meat, members of the ruling party are doing nazi salutes at rallies, and standing members of congress openly repeat conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds and Jewish space lasers. Then you see a news article about antisemitism and it's like "we need to do something about all these college students protesting mass killings."

at the risk of beating a long dead horse. i just. there were MANY valid reasons to dislike kamala harris as a politician and i do understand why a lot of people were not thrilled to have her as the democratic nominee. but at the end of the day, everyone understood that only one of two things would happen after the election: either she would win or trump would. that's IT. there was never going to be a revolution that took the corrupt system down overnight, or a miraculous reformation of the electoral college that allowed [insert your preferred 3rd party candidate here] to win at the last second. it was always, always, ALWAYS going to be her or him, and most of the people who refused to vote for her on moral grounds frankly should've known that.

and here's the thing. i think most of them DID know that, they just expected her to win - and, let's be honest, WANTED her to win, not because they actually wanted her in office, but because anyone with a brain could see she was still the lesser evil to trump. (if you come on this post with "both parties/candidates are the same" bullshit, i will block you because frankly at this point there is no getting through to you, at least not for me.) i think a lot of leftists who hated her policies (again, often for valid reasons) decided they could afford to not vote because they expected everyone else to get their hands dirty and vote her in. they expected her to win, and trump to be gone, and then they could stay on their high horse and feel good that they didn't have to compromise.

except everyone else didn't vote her in. and now we're stuck with trump for the next 4 years. and now our best hope for the next election is probably someone who will start to clean up his mess rather than implement any major progressive policies, because that takes longer than 4 years, and it also takes having people in congress who will work with you.

and obviously the real blame here lies with the people who voted for the fascist, and the fascist himself, and the system that protects him. i'm not denying that. but i do really feel like a lot of the leftist non-voters took a gamble and it backfired really fucking hard.

you punch nazis!

Hey friendly reminder to love and cherish Green Day

I think it should say something about the level of power israelis have towards Palestinian lives that a jewish man felt comfortable shooting openly at a beach because he thought he saw palestinians. I think it says something that a zionist tried to drown a 3 year old palestinian Muslim child in Texas. I think it says something that we keep hearing about the rise of antisemitism but no israeli Americans have been killed by Palestinians but a palestinian boy was stabbed to death in Chicago by a man in revenge of october 7th. But news doesn't report about the rise of anti palestinian hate crimes and if they do they'll just report it as a rise in Islamophobia
