let me say it again:

Trump didn’t win by a majority of votes. compared to 2020 his numbers in 2024 didn’t improve significantly.

so what changed?

#Israel and the crushing of #StudentSpring protests brought the plausible deniability for Democrats to lose the popular vote.

YET THE POPULAR VOTE DOES NOT ELECT A PRESIDENT

my alarm bells went off by the speed in which the ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES where coming in.

ELECTORS DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW VOTERS TO SEAT A POTUS

the EC voted Trump in.

the only reason Trump has gone after foreign students is because Biden attacked the #StudentSpring while both Clintons idly watched and called antisemitic anybody calling out zionists for their gleeful support of #Gaza #Palestinian #genocide

and Bill Clinton gave us Putin, peddling globalization as a capitalist kumbaya and not the gringo, corporatist fascism that it is.

anybody yassing HRC and any Clinton these days need to take all the damn seats and STFU

there is no future with the Democratic Party.

the only ones with a clear vision are AOC, David Hogg and Bernie Sanders ―who isn’t even a Democrat.

yet Bernie has had all along the cheat code for a new party: all progressive democrats should be on ballots as INDEPENDENT as well.

🗣 USA’S LARGEST VOTING BLOCK CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARIES

and after the party’s treachery with #Ukraine #Gaza #StudentSpring they have less reasons to join the party.

2026 MUST BE THE YEAR OF THE INDEPENDENT

the silver lining about #TikTok is that it is further radicalizing the largest and brownest of USA’s generations.

Biden Democrats sealed the deal with their attacks on the youth, not just during the #StudentSpring but how they treated young, anti- #genocide incumbents. the “good guys” brushed off #Gaza ―and the colonialism it represents― as a real issue. now, more than half of the 180 million Americans using it will end up, in 4 years, singing anticapitalist chants in Mandarin or Cantonese.

because Biden's own team was put together by Michael Bloomberg. he has been Biden's main puppetmaster since the 2020 primaries.

Biden and then Harris, ran on Bloomberg's 2010's policies as NYC mayor; including the brutal assault to #StudentSpring, a direct echo to Occupy Wall Street.

while mayor, Bloomberg shamelessly went on record that Manhattan should be only for billionaires, and that the new middle class are millionaires.

that's why Democrats lost.

2024 isn't about Trump winning. he virtually had the same amount of votes in 2020.

TOLD DEMOCRATS
TO NOT FUCK IT UP
AND THEY DID.

2024 was supposed to be the year of the Zillennial wave and all the goodwill and enthusiasm progressives like AOC amassed for the party during the Midterms in 2024, the fascist-lite zionist gerontocracy squandered it in the #StudentSpring

calling Trump childish, normalized GOP fascism. Americans do not see fascists as existential threat thanks to Biden et al

"The ACLU, Amnesty International USA, and Human Rights Watch published an open letter to universities and colleges across the country, calling on them to respect and protect the right to protest in support of Palestinian rights. The joint letter focuses on the use of force and aims to put universities and colleges on notice as we continue to investigate incidents where campus police and law enforcement used force against peaceful protesters, including the usage of less-lethal weapons."

Yesterday students at the University of Washington reported that one of their comrades was arrested.

The cops initially provided no reason. The students were standing around eating lunch after the board of regents meeting had concluded.

Eventually the cops claim the snacking student was arrested for "disorderly conduct" and not eating while Muslim.
