That she's a cop. I don't like that she's a cop, but it's still better then whatever Trump would bring.

What will I be ignoring? All of it. That shit hasn't changed.
This is the easiest election ever. Maybe tied with 2020. One of the candidates is a convicted felon, known predator, and a misogynistic, racist fascist. That's not rhetoric, that shit is all on the record.
I'm voting for any candidate who is not that person. Doesn't matter what any of the rhetoric is.
Hear hear!
The big one I've been noticing from my dad and conservative speeches is
"Kamala is lazy"
"She's just there to get a check"
"She doesn't do anything"
Like... Just say welfare queen. You don't even have to pronounce the silent N. We know what you mean.
Hahah she most certainly isn't lazier than morbidly obese trump who is only in it for the paycheck and also to keep himself out of prison and literally did fuck all during his presidency, mostly golf.
Oof, that's disgusting. Just to see that's where his mind goes immediately.
Oh don't worry they'll let you know they aren't racist. In fact they will be so helpful in telling you that you are the real racist for calling them racist./s
"look, I'm not racist, but...."
Dude if you have to start your sentence like that, yes you fucking are.
Honestly, the wildest one was a guy who said "I grew up anti-racist, so I know I'm not racist" and literally dropped an N bomb and then said some stupid race jokes. Dude was white and kept saying he was invited to the cookouts.
They're still rambling about Hilary; they'll still ramble about Biden.
"Kamala is not American" is coming.
She spent several years in Canada, so we have Canadian yearbook photos. And if conservatives can say Barack Obama is not American, and anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, they will definitely do it about her.
Thats 2008 Republicans. 2024 Republicans won't try to veil their racism.
They're already going after JD Vance's wife
If people go straight to discrediting Harris it'll just show they were never going to be happy regardless of who was nominated.
I had reservations about Biden but I was still gonna vote for him, and I have reservations about Harris but I'm still gonna vote for her if nominated.
What were we not ignoring before?
Literally all of it
I'm just going to respond to everything with the rapist with 34 felonies has dementia and is too old, he needs to drop out, he has no chance to win.
"Why does the party of 'law and order' support a 34x convicted felon over a former prosecutor?"
Call out the party of criminals and make them fall over themselves trying to square that circle.
They dropped the law and order part when Dementia Don started racking up charges.
Dont forget to add his actual age for better illustration.
The next conspiracy theory
There are so many politics communities. Post this there instead
The same as I did before; all of it.
Hurrdurrdurrgurbleblugdurrdurr
Stuff like that
Biden running or not doesn't really alter the rhetoric that I'd consider ignorable.
"Joe would have won. Just ignore the:
- lack of vision
- collapsing support in Michigan because of Gaza
- signs of obvious mental decline
- every interview feels like visiting the old folks home
- campaigning at half speed"
Their response has been the standard MAGA playbook, that of a 12 year old trash talking on Xbox Live. “Kamala is a joke too!!! 🥴”
If by "left" and "right" you mean Democrats and Republicans respectively, then I'm going to ignore all their rhetoric to the best of my ability just as I have been. I'm not interested in anything even remotely resembling either programme.
Libs being mad at leftists that they made up to get mad at.
Well Johnson is already trying to argue that it might be illegal for anyone other than Biden to be on the ticket.
So I'll definitely be ignoring that.
This is an official act, Biden has absolute immunity.
The convention wasn't held, he was not nominated. He can release his delegates at any time. Anyone arguing otherwise has no idea how our democracy functions.
That won't matter to the rabid MAGA mob.
That's OK, they don't matter either. They were never going to vote Dem. They just support their Führer and that's all that matters to them.
It's something he did in his capacity as president.
If it's illegal for him to drop out then it was also illegal for Trump to lead an insurrection. Pick one and stick with it.
We're going to get a torrent of "The Left doesnt know what they're doing"
Which, doing this without an official plan announced, will shake party unity.
Just Vote D in November. I'm tired of these interesting times.
I would take "doesn't know what they're doing" over "knows what they're doing (it is white supremacist fascism)."
I keep getting responses to this. I'd just like to add I was wrong. This didn't shake party unity at all. I feel invigorated, myself. But yes, fuck the center-right "Democrats" and wallowers who have already consigned themselves. The fascists just shot themselves in the fucken foot because their platform is pure hate. Our chances are better than ever. Fucken vote!
They might not but it's not a reason to abandon democracy.
You can't "abandon" something you never had in the first place.
Can't say I disagree. This is like going to the store and all they stock on the shelves are Pepsi and Coke. These two private organizations are the ones who decide who we get to choose from and they both keep picking the absolute worst candidates possible.
These two private organizations are the ones who decide who we get to choose from
So-called "liberal democracy" in a nutshell. And according to the "vote blue no matter who" crowd, nobody is allowed to talk about it.
I'm not abandoning democracy. I'll do that when Trump strips women of their rights and tries to sell my daughters to the highest bidder.
Well with criminalization of contraception and prison slave labor being legal that's already well on it's way
So, February then?
The Tree of Liberty, o' how she thirsts evermore.
I'm saying letting trump win is abandoning democracy. Jan 6th showed us what Trump thinks of democracy. NEVER again.
At this rate just make sure to get all the democrats you know to make a voting plan and commit. What matters most now is we use our numbers and show that we vote for ideologies and not people, so it doesnt matter who is up there as long as they follow democratic principles.
