    Well, no. California will be forced to use its own tax dollars to fight fires and whatnot instead of sending that money to the federal pot to be doled out to the red states that hoover that shit up like a coke removed in a Columbian cartel wearhouse.

      Trump voters do everything out of spite. They invent some really obviously stupid excuse to be mad at Democrats and use that as a justification to vote for Trump.

    I’m recalling something about how terrible Hillary was - according to the Enlightened Centrists ™ and the thoroughly ensconced beltway “liberal media” - for saying something truthful about deplorables and how this lost her the election, nevermind Comey doing what he did to her, while saying nothing about donnie being under investigation…

    I wonder what kind of bothsides the media will reach for to cover donnie doing this? Did Kamala “cackle”? Did Walz have some kind of dreamt-up “gaffe”?

    Whatever his “closing arguments” are, according to polls, they seem to be working for some reason.

      Everyone—including yourself—knows that no one can possibly know whether he will win, so why say it? Do you have a time machine, or do you just spend your days & nights trolling on Lemmy?

            He directly voted for Trump. He only preaches 3rd party bullshit to try to trick people into not voting for Harris.

              Honestly, I’m not a Democrat either I’m just a “let’s get off the crazy train and improve the country” guy. Hell, I even consider myself conservative

              Thought Biden would be terrible but voted for him anyway. He bores me and I’m so happy he does. I’m so glad the internet doesn’t have to report on every little thing the president does.

              I thought Harris would be a train wreck but she’s impressed me. Sure, she’s not PERFECT, but I thought her role as a prosecutor (yes that was important to me) would really make her unpalatable. Her actions, even if I think dont correct enough, more than make up for that. It makes me really not care about her time as a prosecutor. Sure, she isn’t the president I would choose but she sure seems at least presidential.

          Didn’t you say that you couldn’t vote for who you wanted to vote for a while back? All while wringing your hands about Democrat censorship because your party couldn’t be assed to properly register and fulfill the requirements for appearing on the ballot?

          So, if you couldn’t vote for your third party candidate, who did you vote for?

      I’ve been keeping up somewhat with German news and what’s happening in Europe doesn’t really paint a great picture. Seems like we’re basically in the same boat here in the US…

        Meh, just a bunch of doomscrolling. Here’s the thing. They release polls and stuff, but the people most likely not to vote for Trump don’t really do polls.

        Harris will win by a landslide. Trump will call it a fraud.

        Lemmy will immediately send me comments like “Why are you still here, troll? You failed! Now go disappear” (Even tho I’ve always said Trump would lose.)

        Trump will ask for recounts. Threaten to sue the planet Earth.

        Lemmy will keep wondering why I’m still here. I’ll post news about Trump and Third Parties talking about how much Harris sucks, and Lemmy will continue saying I’m a russian troll trying to to destroy the US and get Trumpers to take over the US.

        And while all that drama is going on, everything will be fine. Harris will be sworn in.

        And in 3 months people will go back to removed about how rent is still too damn high.

        And people here will still be removed about why I’m still on Lemmy and ask me if Putin is mad at me and knocking on my Moscow apartment door. :)

        So relax, friend. The world ain’t gonna end. I promise.
