    So reviving the guillotine would be okay, but voting for Harris to stop Trump was out of the question. Got it, have a cookie.

      I mean, I wouldn’t have been mad if Harris had been elected AND also the guillotine got brought back, but I’m not American so my opinion doesn’t matter here.

      I’m just happy Americans might start shooting billionaires instead of kids.

        Might actually see some gun legislation if this takes off. After all, some of the first restrictions were to counter the “threat” of groups like the black panthers.

      Reviving the guillotine IS ok and it is not just for Trump. People refused to vote for her to stop Trump because they knew stopping Trump would not save them. These murderers should fear for their lives again like the people they slaughter.

        Gotta be honest with you, I think the average American didn’t vote for Harris because they had a choice between a fascist and a brown woman and thought the fascist was the better pick.

          blaming Harriss failure in racism, during a change election when she litterally said “I would do nothing different” is obtuse to the point of being intentional. Racism and sexism are absolutely present. But this country looked at the candidate and asked “What are you going to do for me?” and her answer was “Not a god damned thing”.

          This country elected a black man with the name Barrack Huisen Obama. And yes this countrys racist as fuck. But it will get over any issues like that if it thinks the candidate will actually change shit.

          Kamala said she wouldn’t change shit in a country that isn’t working for people and that’s why she lost.

        I’m not sure what you personally need to be “saved” from but expecting any politician to do it for you is foolish. Stopping Trump would have stopped Trump, and that should have been enough reason.

          I’m not sure to be honest. I agree that we all should’ve voted for Harris, but Biden didn’t “stop Trump” and I kind of doubt that Harris would have either. A missed opportunity Biden had was instead of running with her in 2020, he should’ve made her AG in 2021. She was a lot less compromised on her positions to the democratic status quo before she became a member of his administration, and likely would’ve been a more effective attack dog in going after Trump after his insurrection attempt.

          “Save” as in voting for Harris or Trump would not stop their lives from being ruined by the people who run this country. Do your thoughts not go beyond “Trump bad”?

            So many words to rationalize letting a convicted felon become president and thinking Harris really wouldn’t have been better.

      You’re disingenuously implying Harris/Walz would have solved healthcare.

      People have had enough of status quo and slow progress.
