It’s the ultimate American paradox, a country that gets itself so bent out of shape about worshipping and venerating its history, supremely concerned about what the Founding Fathers and marquee leaders of its past would think about what they’re doing, while also retaining zero ability to retain and process any actual history.
Isn't this just a mirror of American Christianity? They don't call all the flag-fucking a civil religion for nothing!
Like forgetting the original purpose of the confederate statues they defend. But I think it's more they know what they're doing and feigning ignorance so you're the one not being civil when you call them out.
Plus interest and it has to be adjusted for the inflation caused by Genocide Joe himself
Now that Joe restarted student loans it's literally being siphoned from me. 
only ever gave me money!
yes just like how the americans forgot a small terrorist incident in 2001 that only killed a minuscule fraction of the people dying in gaza right now
just like that
Americans only remember nine eleven because of the damage to private property. We didn't give a fuck about the pentagon on 9/11, we dont even talk of the people on that plane who died. We don't give a shit about all the hundreds of kids murdered in mass shootings, or simply run over by gigantic passenger vehicles. We didn't give a fuck when like five hundred people were shot in Vegas. We didn't give a shit about a 9/11 worth of people that died every single day for a while there during covid. But oh boy those two big shining towers of private property fall down and we're ready two start two wars and kill like three million people.
I would regularly see the number of people dying of covid per day and calculate how many days it took for a 9/11 of people to be killed.
According to Israel's stupid "9/11s as a fraction of total population" we're at 363 9/11s inflicted on Gaza at this point.
If we had Zelensky give a speech at a Monday night football game saying 9-11 didn't happen and then followed that up with 2 weeks of tv commercials we would all agree that it actually didn't happen.
That's okay. I won't remember to vote so it balances out.
Any lesser-evil libs want to tell me how it's more my fault than the DNC?
You see, Arab voters lack what we call "object permanence". If they can't see something happening, they think that it never happened and will never happen ag- I've just been informed by my my aides that I am in fact thinking about babies.
Muslim voters think their votes matter and that the democrats care about courting them.
They are mistaken.

I mean, generally, most Americans are morons.
Long on anger, and very quick to forget why they were even pissed to begin with. As someoen else said, its a good bet. Just remind them They need to 
and all will be forgotten.
Liberals and conservatives gave pointless symbolic support to black and Asian Americans, so it makes sense why they would continue voting for the parties even if it's reluctantly. But both liberals and conservatives routinely team up to call for the genocide of Muslims and Arabs for like 20 years now. I don't know what it looks like statistically, but anecdotally the Muslims I know are like 18-23 and all of them hate the US lol
Liberal electoral brilliance.
Piss off anybody who is against genociding brown people while running against Republicans. Now your base is people who don't mind genociding brown people who aren't already voting for the "genocide brown people" party.
Hard to think of a better way to cut yourself off at the knees.
Liberals hoping to beat Republicans without anybody who cares about genocide, labor rights, the environment, young people or lgbtq rights.

That is the DNC's dream. To never have to ptetend to care about any of that anymore. I don't think they care about winning too much. Maybe just the presidency and nothing else, wouod feel ideal for them
I think they only really want to do insider trading. Their dream would be something like Irish politics where both major parties are exactly the same but corruptly work for different companies and do pork barrel politics to gain votes. This is frustrated by the fact that many republicans actually believe in things (terrible and wrong things) but actual political goals nonetheless
The liberal assumption is that what works for 
Burgerlanders works for pretty much everyone else: the next promised treat or suggested threat to the treats will make previous concerns disappear.
Exactly. They can't imagine why Muslims may care more about this than they do, and won't just let it go. Libs fundamentally care about nothing, outside their personal comfort
it’s so obvious from the outside that the Biden campaign is a sinking ship, but instead of grabbing a bucket and helping bail the water they take on, everyone around him either believes the water will go away, or that it doesn’t matter because Trump’s ship is sinking faster.
you’d think top Dems would have to be comatose to not recognise that they’re making mistake after mistake. and yet, this is completely in character for them. anyone in the party who learned something from the past 8 years has been actively suppressed.
2024 is going to be a shitshow.
head in the sand management. Biden has reminded Trump voters why they liked Trump in the first place and democrat voters why they're dissatisfied
My own anecdotal experience confirms this; I have a large family that is nearly 50/50 legal & paperless USians and those who were allowed to vote supported Clinton over Trump at a rate somewhere around 75/25% while now it's closer to 50/50% between Biden and Trump.
I didn't get it until very recently when my own situation improved dramatically due to Trump's dumbass actions while he was in office and it came at a time in my life when it was crystal clear that my life's trajectory was going to take a similar doomed path that my silent, boomer, and genx relatives experienced under the status quo.
I don't doubt Biden will win the 2024 election but trump is demonstratably gaining ground. I think it's because the status quo guarantees that others who share my family's demographics will continue to suffer more than most and I suspect that trump may have a viable chance if he can stay alive to 2028; remain politically relevant; and be able keep the felony charges at bay until after 2024.
sacrificing half your family for a guy who might accidentally improve your situation. You sound like a true liberal to me.
misreading and misunderstanding are each the hallmark of the liberal which explains why you did both
If americans can forget about (at least) a million plague deaths (from a virus that's still spreading) they can forget about anything
Honestly? They might not forget, but they won’t go vote for Trump either (unless they’re very pro-conservative and wanna ban immigration from possibly their own countries?)
They’re in a rock and a hard place and they might just choose to stay there/not vote for anyone.

A Muslim group has organized to withhold votes - especially in swing districts from Biden/dems in '24 unless they change their stance on Gaza

All of my citizen relatives descend from paperless immigrants and the other 50-ish percent are still paperless. Everyone's support for Trump has been slowly creeping up to 50/50% (compared to 75/25 a decade and a half or so ago) and I wish this was merely anecdotal but this was frighteningly mirrored by multiple polls showing the same shift in support towards trump from the last election but, by voter registration; for those of us who are allowed to vote; we're still at 60/40% rate of registered democrat/independent/green to registered republican/libertarian
Only those of who are urbanized support immigration at a slim majority when you exclude the opinions of the rural relatives and nearly all who have sought citizenship and remained rural or suburban after succeding want Trump's wall to be built.
It was confusing af for me until I started to experience the same misfortunes that befell the ones older than I and it makes my soul ache to have to acknowledge that I have a viable chance of avoiding the worst of it solely thanks not having children; not owning a house; not yet aging past 50 years and Trump's presidential asshatery.
The worst part is that I wonder if i too would actually warm to trump if I had to beg all my relatives to help me feed & house my children because every single cent that I have earned all my life was sunk into a house that was repossessed or savings depleted because I'm nearly inhirable due to potential employers assuming I'm near retirement age under the status quo that Biden represents.
I can't see how anyone could possibly forget what's happening in the occupied territories, but Ive learned there's more to how people vote than remembering the injustices inflicted upon then and why they could vote against their own self interests.
How dare you, you should be voting for Hillary
Ive been voting for Hillary in every election since 2016 as a write in candidate.
