Yup. Just like shitlibs screamed when Covid killed people during Trump, but then went silent when it killed during Biden. More people died during Biden, but….
I'm frankly relieved for the English language. At least Trump is occasionally capable of delivering simple declarative sentences; I don't think I ever heard Kamala do so, not without the accompanying word salad of claudicating "clarifiers" and abundant hand-waving.
That's actually really funny (and that's coming from someone who would never vote for either corporate candidate in a trillion years). I never looked at it that way. Thanks for that truism.
Well - they are in opposition - that is their role. And like during the last Trump admin they will champion all sorts of causes but not do much when they next have governing power. May do some things domestically but still serve the American global elites when in power.
I also wonder if the rest of the West (Europe, Canada, Australia, etc) might become more critical of US policy now that Trump is in charge.
I also wonder how the rest of the world will respond.
I think there might be a small chance that since Trump is now in charge, people will be more prepared to speak up against the genocide - and America might move towards becoming a pariah nation. A small chance, I admit. But possible.
I am a registered Green, who's been voting as such since 1996 (having been a Dem for a couple decades previously), having to write-in their names because I'm a NY State resident.
I guess if I had to sum things up, I would say that, on a personal level, it was the smugness, while simultaneously having this completely hypocritical self-righteousness, that I found so incredibly insulting, both from the public Democrat figures (as if we were all just too stupid to figure out to see thru just how incredibly insincere/dishonest they were/are, along with whatever insincere platform may have had) and the friends/acquaintances in my personal life (whom I love/like, btw) who identify as Democrats and/or "liberals" (a term which no longer has any meaning, or a term which has an ever-morphing definition).
I happened across an opinion vid by a losing D. He credited the loss to the stupidity and racism of the Rs. The Ds have nothing else to offer other than "vote as we say or we'll call you bad names."
A big problem is that other nations follow the lead of the US. My Australian Foreign Minister, who has at least made discussion possible at her website*, has stated that "Australia will not sanction Israel, when no other countries have".
That is a very unpopular decision and one that could contribute to our government not being re elected; which would actually make a difference, in this country.
The US has more military bases, all around the world, than any other country. It has so many military facilities in Australia, that our country follows what the US requests. (David Shoebridge MP (Au) listed, yesterday, all the Au facilities over which Trump now has control).
Unlike the US, Au and many other countries have preferential (ranked choice) voting and no electoral college. Thus; there is a chance that a Green candidate could be elected PM.
I really wish that more US citizens will more actively advocate for such elrctoral reform, in the US. The fact that voting for 3rd Parties is so difficult, in the US, is a REAL problem. US democracy could actually be working as it was intended to do, but that takes motivation and commitment from citizens.
Being such a large country, with relatively few physical borders, I'm guessing that many US citizens don't feel motivated enough to act to change their political system?
Perhaps domestic problems take up US citizens' available energy for problem solving?
To me, the cynicism and sense of hopelessness expressed in this post, by Caitlin Johnstone is justified, but I WISH that it would lead to practical action, by US citizens, to improve their electoral system - which is one that affects so many other people.
Maybe Mossad's pager attacks will provide enough momentum for US Americans to see that their physical remoteness does not guarantee them the degree of "safety" from the repercussions of US led conflict, in other peoples' countries, that they might have believed it does?
I wish that more US citizens could be motivated by realising just how incredibly disliked the US has become, in so many other parts of our world, which is leading people in those places to look for ways to avoid having to be dependent and unwillingly complicit with the US.
For example: some say that Georgia's election was rigged, in order for it's new alliance with Russia to have been elected. However, I believe that many people may have been looking for ways to move away from European (and other western, US influence), due to it's increasingly inflammatory influence in the middle east.
People in many African countries are also looking for ways to increase their independence and I have often seen BRICS mentioned at social media.
North Korea has just deployed troops to serve in Russia.
As far as I've learnt, activists in the US are very, very passionate. However; from what I've encountered, I believe that their messages and work really needs to be amplified.
For example: CODEPINK continually publishes important research related to US decisions. However, posts at CODEPINK's social media seem to have relatively small viewing and I've wondered why that is, or whether viewing/liking figures have been manipulated?
In any case: I wish that there were more ways for the messages of the US Green Party and electoral reform groups to be far more widely circulated.
(* I and many others have been blocked &/or limited from commenting at our Au FM's Instagram posts. My FM is aware of that fact, which is why she mentioned her website. I did manage to tag the US President & Netanyahu, as well as my PM & FM, in one reply to a post from Gaza. (I proposed that no one really knows that Hell doesn't exist & asked whether any of those leaders were worried that their actions would lead them to go there). Since then, I've been suspended from commenting, for a couple of days, every time I try to comment on my FM's posts about Gaza.

The only place where I’ve never been banned is VK. VK has its issues, to be sure, but legitimate criticism of Israel (and of course of Ukraine) is never censored.
No. The axis of resistance will be taking down Israel, along with the United States of Genocide, you disgusting war criminal. Like all empires, the extreme hubris during late-phase decline will be your undoing.
Here is the thing I find very curious about all the liberal hysteria around the results of the election. Elections don't matter. There have been multiple studies at this point revealing that public opinion on policy is irrelevant when it comes to legislating those policies. Here's a short video done by Represent.us I think does a pretty good job of pointing this dynamic out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig&t=2s So, why would you think that Trump was going to end the republic if you lose to him? Your opinion didn't matter when Trump wasn't in office anymore than when he is in office. The system needs to be broken down for parts. There's nothing else to say.
Trump and Harris are both fascists,. The Dems is a more insidous type of fascism + gaslighting. It's better that Trump won, because at least there can be no pretence as to what we are dealing with.
Trump has not been subsumed into The Blob, which is somewhat hopeful in this historical moment of vast change, the "great reset", not quite the WEF-way.
I voted for Jill Stein again, myself, just to clarify.
Thank you. Last spring I was chatting to a number of Americans while travelling - and said I didnt like either candidates or dominant parties and would have liked a Bernie/Jill Stein ticket. When one particular American pointed out that there is no such 'ticket' - my response was - and why do you think that is? I liked her running mate - the one interview I saw with him.
Bernie Sanders has no jnterest in such. Has repeatedly refused to join up with the Green Party and build a long lasting independent political movement rather than a personal cult of Bernie.
In fact Sanders begged Kamala Harris to campaign with and for her in Vermont in this election. She said no.
Sanders unfortunately is prostituting himself to te Dens while pretending to be progressive. And they don’t even like him.
Feral, Rashida is another one I don’t understand. While I love her, I don’t understand why in hell she doesn’t declare herself as Independent. She’s so popular in her district ( just won in a true landslide) that she could run under the Satanist party and still win.
Pompeo's return means the times are only going to get darker, which also means Bolton is back. If Trump ever had an iota of good intentions these two morons should have been the first one's to ditch.
It also indicates the influence of Kennedy and Gabbard and other moderates will be kept on the margins.
The self-inflicted destruction and isolation of the West will march on while the rest of the world moves on.
There is a slight chance that Trump said what he had to to get elected and turf Bolton and Pompeo among others. Sometimes things are not as they appear considering al the negative propaganda and Trolls interjecting bullshit into the narrative, For now i think people should hold their tongues and wait and see what happens. A little optimism could be healthy.
Best now not to regress into name-calling. A sign of weakness, and little substantive criticism. Let's see where this goes. A reduced chance of nuclear war does seem a plus to dwell on, for the moment.
Reduced chance of nuclear war? trump?!! He wants to call in the military anytime somebody disagrees with him and is all in favor of eliminating foreign opposition by any means necessary. He's an American Netanyahu.
Interesting, the success of the domestic propaganda strongly influenced by England's long antipathy (19th C) toward Russia and Putin is reflected in your comment. And suggestive too of the attitude assiduously brewed by Clinton of the (phony) Russiangate brou ha ha. Phony because debunked by credible sources. Professors Mearsheimer and Sachs layout a clear history of events of Putin's efforts to creatively work with the USA after the Soviet implosion - which, spurned him. If you are interested, open minded, and objective, google either of these men as it relates to Putins effort to work with the USA post-Gorbachev period.
Let us remember that Putin's Russia only went into the Ukraine when the USA led NATO started to put their missles into the formerly neutral Ukraine. NATO had already put their missles into the so-called neutral buffer states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. All these missles can reach Moscow. Re: Putin Russia invading Ukraine - can you remember USA reaction when the USSR tried to put missles into Cuba.
Russia was being consumed and internally divided in the 1990s by global vulture-capitalists. Putin stopped that and is rebuilding Russian industry, farming, health, military and self-respect, and he is the most diplomatically important national leader in the world today.
they were warmongering zionist genocidal monsters before the election. the election doesn't change that. there is no regress or no name-calling, just accuracy, imo.
Let us remember who is supplying a lot of weaponry to Zionist Israel to carry out the genocide in historical Palestine while pledging and following through on those promises.
My hope this outcome will juice democrats to demolish the Corporatized Democratic Establishment who bears total responsibility for this fiasco. Arrogant, disdainful of the citizenry as being nothing more than rubber stamps for their elevated, sophisticated stratagems to promote middle of the roaders (manipulatable to their status quo corporate and war friendly aims), their power must be confronted and democratized to reflect the 99%. They are ossified and alien to fundamental necessities of peace making and responsiveness to workers. Biden epitomizes their ilk. Speaking out of both sides of his mouth and rigid toadying to the sadistic blood thirsty Israel colonial genocide of the Palestinians. Harris? As deep as her public track record.
They won’t learn. They’ll blame Jill Stein and the real left and try to shame us while continuing to suck the corporate tit that feeds them. They’d rather lose than quit their addiction to corporate cash.
They didn’t when Hillary lost. They blamed everything on Russia. They have already blamed things on Russia and China and Iran. Obama was most responsible for Hillary’s loss.
Uncle Scam Pres elections are the choice of being slashed by a serated knife or rusty screwdriver, & pretending you have agency. It's our planet's most exhibited sham & costly puppet show, funded by deviants & callous bigots.
The cheese-powder dipped manchild will continue the Empire as he's instructed & the rest of the planet will pay the price, esp those in West Asia whom the Zionists despise through their warped moral prism & supremacist disease.
Until 'murica is dewedded from its drenched-in-corruption system & the toxic Elites it serves we'll know no peace.
Wish they'd all fuck off to Epstein island & sink forever into the ocean.
Americans are as stupid as Israelis and vice versa. The whole thing ("America/Israel") is a fraud(!) and no one wants to see. There is probably no deeper level of personal corruption possible. The only thing that can change is whether we are willing to open our eyes and face reality.
Netanyahu is skilled at holding onto and returning to power. People said something very similar about Trump as well. It was mostly to make themselves feel better at the sense of not having control over something pretty terrible, which netanyahu is.
Donald Trump is much more than a warmongering zionist; he is a fascistic buffoon. With Republicans in control of the Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court, they now have the power to impose their most extreme agenda upon the nation. It will be an ugly four years, if not more. Personally, I did not vote for Harris or Trump, but I do not feel proud of myself or morally superior. The U.S. is well and truly fucked, which some may regard as its just desserts, but the whole world will feel the repercussions, and not in a positive way.
💯 Completely agree - this (Trump presidency) will turbocharge the demise of the US and its Empire hopefully (compared to the slow pace of demise under the Democrats). Like you say, everyone (ordinary Americans) and the rest of the world will pay a heavy price though - but the decline of empires have almost always been a very brutal aspect of civilization lifecycle history - and I see no indications of this being any different when it comes to the US Empire.
Howard, you are one of the least clever persons that I have ever encountered on a web discussion board, and yet you think you are too brilliant for the rest of us.
Go ahead, and have the last word. I know it will make you feel better.
Well.....least with Trump around, it'll be inexcusably easier for the rest of the myopic world to see what kind of monster the American Empire is. What? You MAGA supporters think Trump is REALLY gonna "drain the swamp"? Don't be surprise that once he got rid of the old deep state, only for him to replace it with his OWN. Let that sink in.....
Caitlin, all Americans of the Muslim faith and sympathizers of Palestine, you unfortunately forgot what Trump did against you in his first few months in office. Collective amnesia! He not only banned Muslims from entering the US, but also prevented US Muslim citizens from reentering. In wasting your votes in battleground states like Michigan, you propelled him back into the White House.
Muslims and people of all faiths or none who refused to vote for Harris did not forget what Biden/Harris, and all American Presidents, have done to Palestinians, Arabs, and non-white people of the world. They decided not to vote for someone who would continue to oppress and kill them while saying nice things.
That's true, and I know that Caitlin is not a fan of Trump and that she will trash him at every opportunity, of which there will be many. All citizens of nations that belong to the U.S. Empire should understand that if fascism comes to America, it will likely come to their countries next. So be careful what you wish for. Just sayin'.
they didn't forget. when one stays too long in the us, one might become an american taxpayer. it's common knowledge what is being done with american taxpayer money. woe on you mervyn.
"US elections do not yield positive results. They are not designed to benefit ordinary human beings."
And there you have it 100% correct
There were 3 winners yesterday, Trump, tptb, Zionists
Only one loser, the ROW
I'm guessin that Trumps 1st EO will be to cede the West Bank, Lebanon to the Litani River and Jordan to Israel, after that another tax cut to the wealthy.
Watch Team.D suddenly pretend to rediscover human rights.
Exactly, Feral.
I’ve said before that if the genocide had occurred under a Republican, the Dems would be screaming bloody murder.
Yup. Just like shitlibs screamed when Covid killed people during Trump, but then went silent when it killed during Biden. More people died during Biden, but….
I'm frankly relieved for the English language. At least Trump is occasionally capable of delivering simple declarative sentences; I don't think I ever heard Kamala do so, not without the accompanying word salad of claudicating "clarifiers" and abundant hand-waving.
That's actually really funny (and that's coming from someone who would never vote for either corporate candidate in a trillion years). I never looked at it that way. Thanks for that truism.
I think you are right if you mean that Dems will not tolerate in Trump what they have tolerated with Biden.
Yes. Remember how Team D passed resolutions to end support for the Saudi war on Yemen? Trump vetoed it.
Once Biden was elected and continued Trump's support for the Saudi genocide, Team D forgot all their stirring and brave talk about human rights.
Well - they are in opposition - that is their role. And like during the last Trump admin they will champion all sorts of causes but not do much when they next have governing power. May do some things domestically but still serve the American global elites when in power.
I think this might be something to watch.
I also wonder if the rest of the West (Europe, Canada, Australia, etc) might become more critical of US policy now that Trump is in charge.
I also wonder how the rest of the world will respond.
I think there might be a small chance that since Trump is now in charge, people will be more prepared to speak up against the genocide - and America might move towards becoming a pariah nation. A small chance, I admit. But possible.

"Liberal" means whatever the Ds do.
I happened across an opinion vid by a losing D. He credited the loss to the stupidity and racism of the Rs. The Ds have nothing else to offer other than "vote as we say or we'll call you bad names."
I agree - sure wish people would give definitions to terms like: 'socialist'; 'lefty'; 'right-wing'; 'progressive'; 'conservative'; etc.
Forget oldthink. Embrace newthink.
I sadly agree. We can only hope that other nations will step in and stop the destruction of Palestine.
A big problem is that other nations follow the lead of the US. My Australian Foreign Minister, who has at least made discussion possible at her website*, has stated that "Australia will not sanction Israel, when no other countries have".

Hi Jane
I’m a reluctant Amerikkkan citizen who plays the lottery every week. If I ever do win the jackpot, I’m buying Congress and the presidency 😉
The only place where I’ve never been banned is VK. VK has its issues, to be sure, but legitimate criticism of Israel (and of course of Ukraine) is never censored.
“we will take down the ring of fire”
No. The axis of resistance will be taking down Israel, along with the United States of Genocide, you disgusting war criminal. Like all empires, the extreme hubris during late-phase decline will be your undoing.

Because then she'd have to face a Team D candidate in the general.
Ohhhh - having looked up Vance - a very scary dude. Trump pales by comparison.
Exactly my thinking. The Democrats are the more effective evil, so if there's going to be evil in power I'd rather have the less effective type.
A foolish bumbling evil can be better than a focused and determined evil.

I found a Trump election highly depressing. But the Ds were horrifying.

Yes, he's on the phone to Putin by now, or said he would be, or at least Zelensky...

You might think that I don't respect and admire Vladimir Putin as a historical figure, but I do. He is very good for Russia.

What makes you say such a delusional statement?
My hope this outcome will juice democrats to demolish the Corporatized Democratic Establishment who bears total responsibility for this fiasco. Arrogant, disdainful of the citizenry as being nothing more than rubber stamps for their elevated, sophisticated stratagems to promote middle of the roaders (manipulatable to their status quo corporate and war friendly aims), their power must be confronted and democratized to reflect the 99%.

They won’t learn. They’ll blame Jill Stein and the real left and try to shame us while continuing to suck the corporate tit that feeds them. They’d rather lose than quit their addiction to corporate cash.
Absolutely correct, and they have demonstrated that pattern repeatedly.
The leaders of the Democratic Party epitomize the "iron law of institutions."
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_institutions
They didn’t when Hillary lost. They blamed everything on Russia. They have already blamed things on Russia and China and Iran. Obama was most responsible for Hillary’s loss.
For them, blaming Jill and blaming the Russians is the same thing. Don’t you know that Jill Stein is a Putin puppet?
I voted for Jill. I was just mocking the Dem/shitlib propaganda narrative.
Uncle Scam Pres elections are the choice of being slashed by a serated knife or rusty screwdriver, & pretending you have agency. It's our planet's most exhibited sham & costly puppet show, funded by deviants & callous bigots.
The cheese-powder dipped manchild will continue the Empire as he's instructed & the rest of the planet will pay the price, esp those in West Asia whom the Zionists despise through their warped moral prism & supremacist disease.

Wish they'd all fuck off to Epstein island & sink forever into the ocean.
Americans are as stupid as Israelis and vice versa. The whole thing ("America/Israel") is a fraud(!) and no one wants to see. There is probably no deeper level of personal corruption possible. The only thing that can change is whether we are willing to open our eyes and face reality.
Both Trump and Netanyahu are facing criminal charges when out of power.
Thats why they will try to hold on to power indefinitely
Netanyahu is skilled at holding onto and returning to power. People said something very similar about Trump as well. It was mostly to make themselves feel better at the sense of not having control over something pretty terrible, which netanyahu is.
You really think they're going after Trump again after this next term?
Donald Trump is much more than a warmongering zionist; he is a fascistic buffoon.
