    What I hope for those in other countries, is that they understand that I had no control or decision of what vagina I fell out of or what dirt I landed on.

    I did not choose to be American, I was just born here. And I most certainly do not agree or approve of any war.

    I do hope most other decent people might agree with me.

    Fuck Donald Turd.

      I hear you, the issue for me is that a third of your country people voted for the cunt, another third didn’t care enough not to vote against the cunt, which leaves a large majority of Americans complicit in this - enough in my view to effectively use the term as a blanket reference to most people in the country.

      Speaking on a more granular level, I wish you well and the best of luck - but the majority of your population can go fuck themselves.

        Don’t think for a second we dont feel a strong flood emotions when we see the 66% of Americans who are a complete drain on the people around them face consequences for their actions(or inaction). The fact is, it doesnt happen nearly enough and it never changes anything.

          Has it ever crossed anyone’s mind, that those of that didn’t vote, was usually because we didn’t approve of either candidate?

          I never approved of orange baby, plain and simple.

          Kamala was cool though, looking to help people and not deceive them, and I just might have voted for her.

          But even though I have no problem with a female president, she would have too many world stage problems with countries and groups that don’t respect women at all.

          So, seeing both as a risk, why would I have voted for either? Like, why did Pete Buttiguieg drop out?

          That’s the real question, what forces in play made my dude Pete drop out? I sure as hell would have voted for him!

              What a wonderful response, objecting against someone that would have actually voted if Pete would have stayed in the running.

              I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.

              Like, why is it always a heads/tails coin decision?

              And what the fuck is up with the Electoral College?

                By not voting at all, you cemented Trump’s victory.

                You don’t get to say “well I wanted it to be different” now.

                Do better next time. Do something next time.

                  No, I didn’t cement any victory, I literally said I didn’t vote. The voters cemented his victory, not me.

                    Get off your high horse. You did make a choice. You chose to not make a choice.

                    And with the way that electoral calculus and bias works in the US, not voting is disproportionately harmful to Democratic candidates, and disproportionately helpful to Republican candidates. You helped this happen by not voting.

      You didn’t choose to be born American, but per your own admission in this thread you chose not to vote. So you can fuck all the way off with this sanctimonious bullshit.

      It’s also hard to leave. Many of us would leave if we had the means. Even for those who wish to stay and fight the blossoming authoritarianism must wage a nearly hopeless battle against powerful disinformation machines.

        Exactly. You know how many countries US trans people can get asylum in? Zero. None. Zilch. There is not a country on Earth where a trans person in the US could qualify for asylum, even considering the vast rollback of trans rights currently underway. And if a member of a targeted minority group can’t get asylum status, then forget about nearly anyone else.
