Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcomed President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory Monday, saying that “the time has come” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

He made the comment a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a recorded statement that he has spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye to eye on the Iranian threat.

    And those protest votes told the campaign this would happen and they didn’t alter course. At what point is it the fault of the playmakers?

    Protest votes knew the score. Slow genocide with Kamala, fast genocide with trump. And they put it on the line to say “either no genocide or you lose” and the Dems couldn’t say that.

    Think about that. The Democrats were very clearly told via the uncommitted movement that “if you support genocide, you will lose” and the Dems could not, under literal threat of death, say they won’t support a genocide in Israel.

    Like, I voted Kamala as a hopeful lesser of two evils vote. But seeing people like you come out here and throw the genocide of palastinians in the face of those who care the most about it because your party didn’t do what it knew it had to do is fucking disgusting.

    Actually abhorrent. Hold the leadership accountable. Hold Kamala accountable. They ran the god damn election. They wrote the god damn plan, and never in my life have I seen an electorate communicate it’s demands so clearly and directly. They were ignored, so they ignored the Dems.

    Wheres your fucking spine? Why is it so hard for you to criticize your own party, concrete people with positions in this shit making decisions rather than the vague “protest voter”

      Because we voted to stop trump. That’s how it works, and that is what you failed to understand in the months leading up to the election:

      Our votes were cast to stand in his way. Their decision to do nothing, let him walk right past us all.

      This is on you and there is no other way to see it.

        If Kamala converted every single third party voter she still would have lost. Blame people for voting for Trump.

        Throughout my life, people like you have said the exact same words to third party voters.

        Through these decades, democrats did very little to replace First Past the Post voting in states they control. Considering how they admit every election they understand the flaws of the voting system, yet do nothing to fix the issues they have pointed out time and again, democrats own this loss.

        This is of course ignoring the number of 3rd party voters would not have changed this outcome. But facts don’t matter, you want to corral the left towards your blue conservative party.

        Democrats preferred trump winning over having to compete for your vote.

        Party over country. Pride and arrogance beyond measure. Democrats have proven that they do not deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

        What excuse do you have to deny ourselves multiple attempts at stopping the Republicans? To deny your country men/women/others full representation in the political process?

        If you really were concerned with 3rd party voters, you would be tirelessly working to replace FPTP voting in your state. As such, I invite you to my asklemmy post to discuss your new commitment to passing electoral reform in your state. Looking forward to it.

        So you think the Dems are at no fault? There’s “no other way to see it”? That’ll win elections bubby. Won so many elections already! Keep that going and I can’t see how you’ll ever lose an election! Especially not 2 out of the fucking 3 this kinda thinking has already implemented.

        It’s been made clear over and over. Either the Democrats concede to their base for once in their life and win, or don’t and we all die. I’m going to blame the organization who seems to be purposefully throwing elections to do anything in their power to concede nothing.

        It’s also a lot easier for an organization to pivot and change than an entire population, another “way to see it” why your being real stupid right now.

        Like, I too wish we could of not had trump. I voted Kamala as a conscious lesser of two evil. But I cannot morally be upset at protest voters or unenthusiastic voters when I watched that campaign just “assume” their base would come out, gave them nothing, and then courted the right wing the entire time. Campaigned with Liz Cheney and sucked up every establishment Republican endorsement they could.

        They did a bad plan. It was obviously a bad plan. Do you think that the Dems having a stupid plan and dumping billions into ads for voters that don’t exist was better than conceding to the voters who do.

        Silly silly silly. I don’t know what else to tell you. You are so upset and angry that the Dems lost that your lashing out at what you consider the cause when the call is coming from inside the house.

          Cool story.

          So you know, both the LGBTQ and women’s rights are going to take a HUGE hit now as a result of their smug little protest votes. Oh… and Palestine is either going to be occupied, or become a crater. Same with Ukraine- so… victory! Right? We certainly learned our lesson at the expense of a shit ton of innocent lives…

          But as long as they can feel morally superior, right?

          I’m not arguing this further.

                Imagine the woman you love getting firebombed. She’s trying to remove the white phosphorus from what used to be her face but that shit is sticky.

                Then you go online and you read some cunt from america explaining how it shouldn’t matter because the other candidate is worst.

                You’re a scum and you belong in hell. Americans are subhumans with no heart, no soul, no nothing. Do not be surprised when americans tourists gets attacked on the street lmao

                  Man…. How pathetic must one’s life be to feel the need to create so many accounts only to succeed as making people feel second-hand embarrassment for them?

                  When you get your next sad little ban evading accounts up, you’ll have to let me know.

            So the Democrats, who actively told their left wing to fuck off with any demands, are not the ones at fault for not doing the thing that would win them the election. It’s instead the fault of random unknown and vague people in your head at fault. Literally millions with their own reasons. Not the campaign with the ability to respond to these demands.

            Great strategy bubby. Top tier strategy. How many elections is that winning?

            Nah, instead of changing gears and doing something that works you’d rather whine, blame, guilt, and otherwise make an ass of yourself.
