Trump posts bizarre AI video of Gaza vision as beach resort on Truth Social (www.yahoo.com)

In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

Left wing voters are not motivated by genocide, nor trying to meet those who do support it in the middle with "just a bit of genocide, as a treat".

Since we're adding caveats of reality, I'll join in: the Democrats' myriad mistakes and missteps in "motivating" left wing voters does not absolve those voters of their own responsibility.

You did the right thing

voted for Kamala, I kept these opinions to myself to not push voters away from doing so, and I pushed the harm reduction argument to anyone who was considering abstaining or voting 3rd party.

I did the same, despite my own similar lack of "motivation", because as you said, it was the best play we had with the hand we were dealt. The criticism here is leveled at the third party voters and abstainers, because the people here are voters. If you want to criticize Democratic leadership, I encourage you to direct that criticism directly toward them.

I would love to have had a viable alternative, but without significant representation in Congress and state Governorship, it's just not going to happen. Successful presidential campaigns don't just appear out of thin air (unless you have a massive cult of personality). The vast majority of presidents were previously Senators or Governors, offices that they rose to after careers that began at the local level. If you want better options, actually vote in your local elections, and encourage other leftists to do the same.

Until then, red vs blue is our reality, and criticizing the lesser evil for not being good enough is a virtue signal circle jerk.
