I keep saying this... All of us who said trump was an absolute shit show of a human and unfit for office, were absolutely far more correct than we even knew. No matter how bad you think he is, he's worse.
No, I fully expected all of this. That's why I held my nose and voted for Harris. Not one single thing he's done is surprising.
I expected a lot of this and worse. 3 more years of awful decisions remain though. That's why I say it's always worse than you think. Because it will always get worse, as long as he draws breath.
Same. He has a history going back decades even before he ran for office and before he was given that stupid game show that gave a lot of halfwits the idea he was Good At Bidness (and Being Good At Bidness == Good At Presidency, naturally).
He's always been a vainglorious evil piece of shit failson and evidence for him being quite racist goes back to the 70s.
I wish someone had given him a late night talk show instead of the presidency.
'Ya but harris had a funny laugh, apparently.'
'i had to protest the party somehow.'
'They were backed by the same warmongers'
I remember when Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton ran presidential campaigns utilizing that same mentality.
As it turns out, it was a losing strategy.
I remember when third party / non-voter people perpetually insisted since before I was born that any election now we'll "teach dems a lesson".
As it turns out, it was a losing strategy and it aided fascism, precisely as every thinking person knew would happen.
contrary to popular belief the numbers don't support you argument. Would-be Dem supporters went to Trump. Third-party voters OTOH owe you nothing. They aren't in your party, and I'd rather vote for who I want, and lose instead of voting for who I adamantly don't want and win. Since winning isn't my immediate end-goal, however, I'm highly unlikely to vote for a right-wing party candidate regardless.
Go ahead and keep going on "logic" and ignore easily predictable outcomes. That way, you can feel SO smug all the time. A moral perfect little angel, so much better than everyone else and DEFINITELY blameless.
lol. thank you. I will. Maybe it will encourage you guys to come up with more of a winning strategy since you seem so disappointed about your candidates lack of support.
Yes, I will get with my friends at the DNC and change everything, post-haste! Despite barely even supporting any democrats at all, I definitely support literally all of them, ESPECIALLY the DNC.
And you can keep on handing your vote to conservatives while pretending a russian asset would be a good candidate in any context.
ooh, accusing me of being a "russian asset." that's original, now that you know I don't see things your way. Let me make it simple. Your vote is the main declaration of your support. So, yes if you voted Democrat then you don't just "barely support" a candidate but instead you Acutely "support" them. The only way to be more supportive is to make large monetary donations
-Also by your logic my vote went to Republicans. By that same logic Do you think the Liberterian voters also support Trump or do you think the anti-government gun-nuts also owe the Democrats their support? Wait I know, by voting third party in 2020 I helped save democracy for Biden and the Democrats since they won. Good thing they solved all, er some, well none of the problems that led to trump getting into office.
...Did you just admit to being Jill Stein? Or are you saying you wrote in your own name?
you never answered my questions. I asked you first.
secondly, I voted for Claudia De La Cruz and prior to that I voted for Howie Hawkins
