    Listen, if Trump winning is the default outcome of your democracy, I guess he’s the most democratic option. Sounds like a shitty democracy if you ask me but who am I to judge

    For every scary college student demanding the Democrats do SOMETHING to earn her vote, there are a dozen McDonald’s-working, Walmart-shopping moms who would vote Dem if given even the smallest bit of voter outreach

    I’m not going to vote, but if someone put a gun to my head and made me vote for one of the two main candidates I would vote for Trump before genocide Joe, just to punish the Democrats for their zionism and genocidal behavior. They deserve to be sent into the wilderness to lick their wounds and think about what they did wrong.

    These Liberals should probably think twice about trying to compel people like me to vote.

      honestly I think trump or any republican in office is the better outcome solely for the fact that it mobilizes liberals to actually give a fuck about the horrors the U.S. is perpetrating both at home and abroad

      they turn into absolute mindless sleepwalking sheep whenever a democrat is in office and are willing to debase themselves and others to no end to defend even their most egregious offenses

      Maybe a republican in office will result in those offenses being worse but at least liberals will give a shit about them.

      i don’t feel strongly enough about this to go vote for trump but it’s the main reason I really don’t give a single fucking fuck about the election. I watched these people turn off their brains the moment Biden was inaugurated, if they were ever on to begin with

        Yeah as soon as Trump gets into office we’re going to hear all the liberals actually start calling it a genocide and echo what we’ve been saying since October 7th. Suddenly they’ll start giving a fuck when it’s Trump shipping Israel a boatload of weapons every 36 hours.

        I like Trump because he does not engage on strategic ambiguance, he will do the same wicked shit Biden does but the difference is that he will boast about it.

        With Trump, liberals can no longer hide behind rhetoric and are forced to face material reality.

        Depends which “they” we’re talking about. The old guard of the party didn’t blink at 2016, but most voters and probably most younger party workers did want a change of direction (to varying degrees). Bernie was the most popular candidate in 2020, and Medicare for All was so universally supported that everyone but Biden (lol) claimed to support some version of it. It took a primary screwjob without modern precedent and covid throwing the race into chaos to derail all that.

    I hate this shit where people feel like they’re entitled to my vote. Go to hell. Get a better platform that’s not headlined by genocide and various other things I’m not gonna list cause I feel like ass right now.

    Wait.

    If not voting is a vote for Trump then voting for Trump is two votes for Trump! Biden could win by locking them up for voter fraud. 😎 🍦

    Maybe there are people out there who don’t spend every waking moment worrying about Trump cause he’s a pathetic blowhard who should never be taken seriously. I’m sure Trump would rather people not vote than vote for his competition cause that makes it easier to win. If you’re old enough to vote you already know this
