Maher Tarabishi’s family had hoped he could be present to say his final goodbyes to his son, Wael.

      Ok. Trump isn’t either. He wants to be, but he isn’t - still mostly obeying the courts for now, even if he drags his feet a bit sometimes.

      Would she have been as bad domestically? Probably not, but there’s danger in that too - allowing liberals to overlook the heinous crimes of the American empire, as so many did during Biden’s presidency, because their own privileged comfort was never at risk. Only the lives of thousands of brown people overseas and well, that’s just the cost of ““democracy””, isn’t it?

      Anyway, as I said, she still would’ve lost even if she secured every single third-party vote, so you’re yelling into a quantifiable abyss here. She was a shit candidate and will be a shit candidate still if she runs again, just like Hillary Clinton.

        What part of two choices are you not understanding? There’s no reality in which Kamala Harris is as bad as Trump. Bad yes. As bad? It’s not even close.

          More people died during Biden’s term than Trump’s so

          both seem irredeemably evil to me
