Love this comments section in denial because they refused to read past the title in both the post and article that clearly states most Palestinians don't expect a difference.

The Palestinians in the biggest city on the West Bank seem to have already come to a provisional consensus: that the US election result has no real impact here because things could not possibly be worse.

The recently fired Israeli defense minister was allegedly claiming all the military objectives in Gaza were achieved, and that there's no need for ignoring a hostage deal.

So I'm really failing to see how this isn't already rock bottom.

13 straight months of giving Israel a free pass, Trump literally can't improve the maxed out arm sales even if he tried.

And I can bet you my life saving Biden will do jack shit to stop Israel in his remaining 3 months even though he has nothing to lose.

I remember people here getting crapped on for saying Biden should drop out and let someone else run.

Yet the moment he did, it became some 4D chess move that was going to win the election.

And then the same people were crapped on for "selfishly" asking for a primary to choose a candidate instead of being force fed Harris.

The most delusional person I saw was someone who was convinced the uncommitted movement was backing Harris, after getting banned from the DNC rally for not unconditionally backing Harris....

Trump won Michigan by doing the absolute bare minimum of pretending to care about the core issues Harris actively ignored (cough genocide).

And also paying probably like 50 bucks to spam send this image for two weeks.

Delete this

spoilerThis technically doesn't make sense because Redhat started as it's own distro so it's the root of the RPM tree.

And Arch was made after Debian and RH.

Okay I exaggerated lol, you can look at the sun while it's setting.

I'm fairly certain Biden would have done the same if not worse considering his lower popularity that resulted in Democrats switching to Harris.

Had they planned this out and done a primary, there'd probably be a new candidate who would have done better and possibly won.

Of course that would involve letting people decide their candidate which is a big no no and too expensive to rig and risk losing anyway just like Hillary's campaign.

R+1.4%, Michigan still stuck at 99% reporting because they're still counting for Wayne County, but I don't think it'll change much now.

So I definitely exaggerated, but called it lol

From wikipedia:

Fitting with her statements that The Handmaid's Tale is a work of speculative fiction, not science fiction, Atwood's novel offers a satirical view of various social, political, and religious trends of the United States in the 1980s. Her motivation for writing the novel was her belief that in the 1980s, the religious right was discussing what they would do with/to women if they took power, including the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition, and the Ronald Reagan administration.[12][failed verification] Atwood questions what would happen if these trends, and especially "casually held attitudes about women" were taken to their logical end.[13]

The plot intro:

After a staged attack that killed the President of the United States and most of Congress, a radical political group called the "Sons of Jacob" uses theonomic ideology to launch a revolution.[8] The United States Constitution is suspended, newspapers are censored, and what was formerly the United States of America is changed into a military dictatorship known as the Republic of Gilead. The new regime moves quickly to consolidate its power, overtaking all other religious groups, including Christian denominations.

The regime reorganizes society using a peculiar interpretation of some Old Testament ideas, and a new militarized, hierarchical model of social and religious fanaticism among its newly created social classes. One of the most significant changes is the limitation of women's rights. Women become the lowest-ranking class and are not allowed to own money or property, or to read and write. Most significantly, women are deprived of control over their own reproductive functions. Though the regime controls most of the country, there are various rebel groups that are still active.
