Which means 2 out of 3 will gleefully vote for him with visible metaphorical (?) erections; the 1 out of 3 will maybe metaphorically cover up their metaphorical erections with a pillow...
Which means 2 out of 3 will gleefully vote for him
Listen, I don't like him any more than you do, but he's the only candidate who can beat Other Candidate, alright? If you don't want another four years of Disastrous Joe Brandon's Economy Killing Policies of Doom ruining our country with Woke, the only man who has consistently succeeded in Making America Great Again is the guy who won the primary.

They will be shamed into compliance by their MAGA neighbors, because if you're not voting for Trump then you must secretly support Biden. You need to prove that you aren't a soy transgender liberal pedophile or we won't invite you to the next wine cave fundraiser / good ole boy tailgate party / Epstein Island junket.
You're either with us or you're with the Terrorists.
Those numbers are worringly low. I have been assuming that the vocal group, the ones taking to the streets with their little hats and grumpy faces, were a very verbal minority. I'd expect way more than 1/3 to prefer some other candidate. Not great.
I don't know why. These numbers are better than I expected. The GOP has become a cult like organization. Those usually don't tolerate non believers.
Surprise Pikachu 😱😱😱😱
They'll vote for him anyway.
Some will, but some will also just not feel as engaged and stay home.
Real question is, how large a percentage of potential Trump voters will be demotivated enough to stay home, vs how many potential Biden voters are being turned off by his age and ball-less stance on the war crimes in Gaza.
You get a president that does nothing to stop Isreal or a president who signs the bombs with an erection. Those are the choices. As always.
Real question is, how will around 2000 people in the midwest vote? Cause that's what usually decides the outcome.
I really think Biden is secretly more popular with Republicans than individual Republicans let on. He hasn't spoken much on abortion and queer support (kind of like it belongs in the background unseen and then we will tolerate it mentality), he wants to lock down the US-Mexico border more, and is very Zionist. He's honestly a good fit for the Republicans before Trump "consolidated" the Republicans under a[n even] crazier branch of conservatism.
I think that's his "plan", whether it works or not we'll see.
The reality is, most "progressives", that are screaming about Gaza, etc. Are in deep blue states. Their votes don't matter in the electoral view. It's a total of like 3 states that are going to decide the presidency.
Which is one of many reasons our system sucks so bad...
It's definitely one of the more important reasons why our system is suffering. A minority of rural voters have way too much influence. How are we supposed to navigate the future with that kind of albatross around our necks?
If only youths consistently came out to vote.
I fully endorse Trump if it means it's sabotaging the GOP fascists from the inside lol
Who could've known that an extremist criminal as your leader might cause issues.
How many had their choice made for them before they even had a chance to vote in a primary?
Nikki Haley was the last to drop out on March 6th, when there were still dozens of primaries to go.
I'd love to see a national primary. But people complain... But... but... it's not fair to small candidates who can't run a national campaign...
Yeah, if you can't run a national campaign, you have no business being President either.
If we're going to be proposing things that will never happen: Total public funding of elections, so everybody can run a national campaign if they get enough signatures.
That or we get a watery tart to lob a scimitar at someone.
Better headline: 2 out of 3 Republicans (the party of "Law and Order") support a candidate convicted of 34 felonies. And 3 out of 3 will still vote for him in the general election.
The original headline is just them saying I wish there was something better, but we got what we got. Which is the same thing I am saying on the left.
