PS.
I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.
There are a lot of hypothetical conversations in this thread about fascism and “November” but for me this election is about something actually happening right now. People are being exterminated by US weapons in Gaza. I will not be voting for an administration that sanctions genocide. There has to be a political price for this kind of behavior.
I can’t acknowledge voting for the Democratic party as “the lesser of two evils.” To me it looks like Americans are afraid of losing their country, while the rest of the world has been running for cover from American weapons for over a century. The era of American exceptionalism and impunity is over. It’s time to rejoin the rest of the world. “Fascism or genocide” is not going to cut it.
I always like to point out that the people on the far right are always going to vote, and they are always going to vote for the Republican candidate no matter what. Even if you feel like there aren’t any “good candidates” you should still vote because even getting a less than ideal president is better than just doing nothing and letting Trump become a dictator for life
dictator for life LMAO 🤣
I juat don’t understand why Democrats don’t nominate literally anyone else and win election, without risking Trump winning?
I don’t put this on some random people when real culprit is Democratic Party. It is almost like they want Trump to win.
Why would they? They know their voter base is a bot that will vote blue no matter who. They don’t have the incentive.
I’ll do my duty and vote for Biden, but we’re going to lose with Biden.
- 37% approval-rating matching Jimmy Carter; no candidate in history won with those numbers.
- Biden has the most catastrophic debate performance in history, proving long-held fears by 75% of the electorate that Biden is too old 3 an immutable, worsening attribute.
- Biden was already hemorrhaging black and hispanic voters.
- Biden was already losing youth vote in part due to his position on Israel.
- Trump’s polls hardly budge after a full-blown criminal conviction.
- Trump seizes the narrative for the first time positively with a VP pick and TIME-cover magazine shots of him pumping his fist, defiant with a flag in the background as he’s covered in blood from an assassination attempt.
- Trump campaign has barely spent a nickle of their war chest money while Biden has been dumping their cash just to stay afloat in the polls as damage-control post-debate.
- Biden campaign team has ZERO strategy to change the trajectory of his terrible polls, including the 6 battleground states, all of which he trails in.
Ultimately it’s not me you have to convince; it’s the low-info battleground state swing-voter who now is either not voting or leaning Trump once again.
I will continue to advocate for Biden to step down until post-Convention; after that, well, I’ll probably bet money against his victory. That way, at least it’s win-win for me.
Trump didn’t get the predicted Marytr Bonus that normally follows a failed assassination, he can still do this.
Plus his Vice President is this guy - https://vxtwitter.com/JDVance1/status/1511311385543815180
Easily less likable than Paul Ryan
Even if he didn’t, which it certainly won’t hurt him, Biden is already underperforming not just his 2020 run by a full 10 points, he’s doing worse than Hillary’s 2016 run. I’m glad Trump chose Vance as it doesn’t help him, but again it doesn’t change the bottom-line.
We need to jump ship while there is still time.
Adam Schiff now just publicly called for for Biden to step down.
We need to be ready to stick to him no matter what if he doesn’t though
Indeed, we’d have no other better choice. It just puts me back where I was pre-Debate, but with less hope.
God I wish that debate never happened, I wasn’t even slightly worried about Biden’s chances until that made me go “Oh shit…”
People I know irl have actually switched to Trump because they’re worried Biden is a danger to himself and those around him. They keep saying “Oh Project 2025 will never pass, we got checks and balances”, but that’s not really true anymore
Project 2025 is already well under way. The supreme court has seen to that
I mean trump has already been president and elections kept on being a real thing
Did you miss this whole January 6th thing? I can understand how… it was very minor.
Did elections stop that day? No. Did they stop with Trump while being the president? No
Face it, whoever gets to be president, will do so for 4 years. And boringly so, you guys will vote again, in 4 years time for a new candidate.
Wait, are you intentionally ignoring the scheme with the 7 false slates of electors that were poised to overturn the election? The only thing that stopped it was Pence’s unwillingness to go along with the scheme. JD Vance on the other hand is the opposite. So what are you basing your opinion on at this point?
Reality? Fact: trump was president. Another fact: elections didn’t stop happening? Same with many other republican and democrats. You guys will be fine
I mean if you haven’t been paying attention to like… Anything, really, for the last 7 years, I could see how this line of reasoning makes sense in complete isolation.
“Guys just face it, Germany has never had a dictator, and Germany will never have a dictator because the system prevents it” - big brain Germans in 1933, probably.
Right, so? If we go with that then you can find anything to justify whatever you want, no point in arguing 😉
A recent Supreme Court ruling gives the president sweeping immunity. Do you think Trump won’t abuse that to keep himself or one of his friends in power ad infinitum?
You can guess all you want, that’s not reality tho.
It’s not about that. It’s about sleep walking into fascism. Before the debate it was metaphorical. If you keep voting for the lesser evil you still get evil. It just takes longer.
Now we’re being asked to vote for someone who clearly cannot handle the duties of the office and is nothing more than a figurehead. Rubber stamping this does not protect democracy. It proves they can manufacture consent to put whoever they want in that office and you guys will keep pulling that lever thinking, “it could be worse”.
Ah yes a figure head of the party who did all this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/1abyvpa/the_complete_list_what_biden_has_done/
Is just as bad as the figure head of a fascist, xenophobic, racist, authoritarian, nationalist, religious zealot party because they are both figureheads. You’re right.
I’m not even going to start with a list put together by his base. The news can’t put one together that doesn’t get ripped to shreds once you actually look at it. I doubt his base has put together anything like a list that says what the policies actually do. And no the title of the bill or the PR elevator pitch has no relation to what it actually does. For example he actually severely cut EV subsidies and you all fell on your knees to thank him for it.
Literally your best argument against this NOT ALL OF THOSE ARE REAL BECAUSE HIS SUPPORTERS COMPILED IT SO IMMA VOTE FOR A FACIST RACIST
You’re fucking wild bro
I never said I was going to vote for Trump.
If your not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting for Trump …any of those is a vote for Trump in America’s presidential election.
Also your name is maggoty so…
And let’s not get distracted from the main point by straw manning here. Your argument is ridiculous.
No. No they aren’t. The only vote for Trump is an actual vote for Trump. Casting anyone who doesn’t support you as an other who must support the bad guy was bullshit when Bush did it and it’s bullshit now.
No it isn’t. It’s literally math and logic deduction. It’s the bullshit two party system’s failings.
Because you only have 2 options who are going to pull enough votes to win, throwing your vote to a 3rd party is taking a vote from biden. not voting is taking a vote from biden. all of that is equal to a vote for Trump.
perfectly meh candidate
Supporting genocide is not “meh”. The elections that you think are in danger are not real elections, and when Trump is done with his two terms you’ll still have them because they serve their purpose of distracting Americans perfectly well for the ruling class.
I see someone has not been paying attention.
He’s suggesting we will still have “elections”.
Ever notice how the GOP has stopped pushing for voter ID laws…
The post 2016 republican is so fucking crass. They’ve abandoned civility and are going straight for the throat, everytime. Instead of signaling they want to disenfranchise voters they are full on attempting to setup fake elections. Instead of dog whistling that president should be an authoritarian dictator they are ‘writing’ it into law with their fraudulent supreme court.
If there has ever been a motivating factor for the 2A people to do something it’s right now. Except, they were never about standing up to tyranny they were only about installing it. That’s exactly why school shootings are allowed to continue. Why they would only offer thought and prayers.
