    Thank you, I hope someone will tell Joe and Kamala.

    Edit: looks like I was not clear: I meant that, as they are still in power, they should use their leftover power to fix this problem as well as they can.

      Frankly if they’re doing anything with their remaining days, I hope they’re shoring up America’s defenses. I cared about Palestine enough to vote for the candidate Netanyahu didn’t want in office, but now that y’all elected him, I care more about anything that can be done to help my country before he’s in to rape it.

        Hey, don’t look at me, I live in a country where democracy is not some sort of soccer game with just 2 teams (that also sort of play on the same half). Every vote counts, didn’t stop a large majority of people voting far right, and as we all know, far right only cares about themselves.
