Trump grabs pussies.
Sick I get to do my joke for the nth time

votes 3rd party
Do you not think it's odd that republicans have such dedicated voters while democrats have such non-committal voters? Why do you think that is?
I suspect it has something to do with the collapse of the new deal coalition and the rise of neoliberal economics such as trade deals meant to gut unions, finance and media consolidation, and ending the welfare state...
But I'm just a blue collar boy... what do I know?
Republicans pursue the polices of their voters like rabid dogs.
Democrats barely put effort into the policy positions they're elected on and even then will always settle for half of less.
Wild speculation: republicanism only exists as a cult created by the propaganda of a political party. Of course one of the core tenets of such a cult would be voting above all else. The Democratic voters are all the other, non-cult members who don’t have any such religious fanaticism about voting
As late as 1980s, the GOP had a Liberal wing. Once Reagan got his claws firmly embedded the Right was able to marginalize or remove them.
There's an old saying in US politics; Democrats fall in love and GOP fall in line. GOP will vote for any candidate with an R next to their name, and the Dems want someone they can get excited about.
I will never vote for any republican as long as I live. Haven't done so in quite a few years.
They look like a parody of themselves.
They look like diabeetus.
Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people...but the people are retarded.
People usually get what they deserve, unless they deserve what they get. I sure hope the young ones all fired up (and rightly so) about the situation in Gaza also come to realize that by withholding their vote for Biden, or voting for a 3rd party candidate without a chance of winning, they are guaranteeing that Trump will take office, and if they think things are bad now, just wait till he starts (or rather continues) dismantling democracy. Then they will never have free speech nor the right to protest again.
I believe it was osho who said that
A real cult classic lol
That's what happens when you restrict higher education.
Sounds like Carlin
I mean, statistically, a few will probably die of COVID or from drinking bleach, etc., before November. I swear their death rates have gotta been one reason for retaking congress in 2020.
Ha, maybe.
Still all the more reason to get out and vote; let's not let it get too close for comfort (again).
I'm already voting, and not even as an anti-trump vote. I've literally benefited from one of Bidens tax credits and he's openly pro-union, which is rare for any dem (corporate sponsors being more lucrative).
It's a minority opinion, but I don't think he gets enough credit for the good domestic policy even if some of it doesn't "stick" (like the EV credit being mostly Tesla lol)
