   As long as I live, I will never understand why America would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

     @Strandjunker Specifically because she was "exceptionally impressive black woman". That's how racism in the US works. It's a competition to shoot yourself and your loved ones in the foot (or somewhere more critical) as best you can to prove you can hurt Black folks even more.

     @Ellegaarddk @Strandjunker

     That isn't a certainty. Let me explain.

     If you have family, friends in Gaza, it is practically 100% certain a new Democrat administration would continue the utterly unprecedented massacres.

     If there's even a 1% lower chance under that wildcard unpredictable Trump, then it is understandable why you'd want the Democrats replaced.

     If it were my family, I would want the Democrats out with every fibre in my body. They are evil. Because evil is what they are doing.

     @rzeta0 @Ellegaarddk @Strandjunker I beg to disagree: Because there is a HUGE network of jewish voters which would be lost (they think) if they got tough with the Government of Israel.

     Sorry to disagree.

     She prioritised corporate interests over citizens.

     She backs the genocide. She gaslit those who speak out of protest against it. She banned Palestinian voices at her DNC, where they openly mocked deaf children.

     So not so impressive.

     @rzeta0 @Strandjunker But STILL a better choice than the orange rapist, right?
