    Enjoy the Trump presidency. You’ll never vote again.

        It almost did. Jan 6th was a coup attempt.
        On the campaign trail a day or two ago he literally said, “…we’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy.”

        But go on and insist it is “both sides” to up your edgelord cred. You’re never going to find any politician that agrees with you on every issue. Unless you get off your ass and run, which we know is too much effort for you.

          There was no mechanism for it actually succeeding. It was an attempt the same way a child attempts to transform into a bird.

          a half assed and unserious coup attempt. Trump wasn’t even directly involved it was less than a riot

          The issue I disagree with Biden on is whether there should be a genocide

            He’s being charged with it because he CAN be linked directly to it. Half ass or not, it was a coup attempt. Saying it was half assed or not serious is exactly what people said about the Beer Hall Putsch. Look what happened after.

            And you can’t blame Biden for what Hamas did.

                  Hamas did not do this. Israel did this. None of this would be happening if they hadn’t been carrying out a genocidal project of colonialism and apartheid the last 75 years.

                    Yeah but Hamas also did this. Palestinians would regularly march against Hamas with the protest slogan “I want to live!”,

                    You’re stanning for the arab equivalent of the cops who got the “I can’t breathe” slogan out into the public consiousness.

                    They are the equal partner of the Israeli state in the continued war of genocide against the Palestinian people, who’ll just fuck off to egypt with their looted billions once the IDF decides to wipe gaza off the map.

                  2 comments from telling us all we have to vote for your candidate to literally telling us to go fuck ourselves.

              It was a coup attempt in the same way me screaming in my backyard is an attempt to become a super saiyan. Nothing happened. A bunch of meemaws and idiot conspiracy theorists milled about the house and Senate. They didn’t even have the gumption to take a shit on the podium.

              They had their true enemies within spitting distance and none of them threw a bomb or fired a shot. They took selfies. Absolute morons.

              Nobody’s blaming Biden for what hamas did they’re blaming him for the genocide Isreal been doing in response.

              By the way he just approved sending a bunch of bunker busters so Isreal can bomb even more hospitals indiscriminately.

            Bitch he literally tried to choke out his driver so he could go there himself to lead the insurrection in person.

            Nevermind, the palestinians here in the states who’ll tell you that as much as Biden sucks, Trump’s issue is that we’re not doing it here too.

          Browbeating people into voting for a satanic right wing warmonger was a losing strategy in 2016 and it’s a losing strategy now. There is a massive chance now that Biden will lose as a direct result of his actions in Gaza. This is directly Biden’s fault and no amount of fearmomgering about January 6th will change it, for the record most people don’t really even care.

          If you’re concerned about losing “our democracy”, blame the DNC. That they’re content with running a senile maniac who is actively facilitating a genocide should enrage you more than people online expressing their disgust with his criminal behavior.

            Yea if democrats are so fucking concerned about democracy maybe they should, I don’t know, support one of the policies 80% of their base is loudly telling them matters to them.

            Like not having Biden be the nominee.

        And he literally tried to take over the capitol building to stop the transfer of power, not to mention how his supreme court has been steadily uprooting our democratic rights.

      Well in 1/3 of US provisional elections in the 21st century, the candidate with the most votes has lost the election thanks to the electoral college. So even if they did go vote, there is a 1 in 3 chance that the candidate with the most votes loses the election.

      Which is really weird because the US brands itself as the bastion of freedom and democracy internationally, yet they do not follow two of the most important principles of democracy itself. Those being one man equals one vote, and the candidate with the most votes wins. Lots of people in the USA effectively do not have a vote for president with how the electoral college is structured.

      None of the people Biden killed through war profiteering, supporting genocide, and policy failure will vote again either.

      Thats literally what you useless dumb fucks said right before Hillary managed to lose the easiest election of a lifetime using the exact same strategy you’re using this time.

      Maybe Biden will exceed expectations and actually go to states he depends on to win.
