DDHQ made the call after declaring Trump the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Alaska, which got him to exactly 270 electoral votes.

    And for Ukraine and Gaza. So all those folks saying Kamala didn’t have a hard enough stance should be thrilled right now.

      I can’t imagine Palestinians are wrecked by this news. There’s a good chance it’ll get worse, but it’s still fairly ambiguous.

      I really wonder how Ukrainians feel though. This is a major win for Russia.

        There’s indication Netanyahu wants to seize parts of Gaza into Israel. If it comes to that, there is no way Trump is going to do anything about it (except try to extract maximal gain for himself in terms of favors etc.)

          I really, REALLY hate throwing “both sides” out there because it’s usually bullshit. But I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that any of the candidates would stop Israel from doing that. There’s barely a slim chance that either of the Dem nominees would have even done a damn thing more than lip service.

            I can’t really say you’re wrong, since we will never know. I had the feeling that Biden was reluctant to do anything because of the incoming elections, whereas Harris might have done something. But alas, we’ll never know.

            (as a side note, I feel like you’d have gotten away with both parties better here, as the “both sides” is typically just used to equate nazis with regular people and normalize/excuse their behavior - nothing wrong with hating the term)

      They wouldn’t be thrilled, either way. I hope the ones blindly supporting the Democrats pandering to the right are thrilled, instead.
