PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

      Indeed, we’d have no other better choice. It just puts me back where I was pre-Debate, but with less hope.

        God I wish that debate never happened, I wasn’t even slightly worried about Biden’s chances until that made me go “Oh shit…”

        People I know irl have actually switched to Trump because they’re worried Biden is a danger to himself and those around him. They keep saying “Oh Project 2025 will never pass, we got checks and balances”, but that’s not really true anymore

          I’ll be honest… I was still worried, and I think the Biden camp was, too. I just fell in line and tried to do my part in highlighting the obvious contrast between a fascist old guy and just an old guy who means well. It’s why they took the debate in the first place because Biden’s numbers have been on a steadily downward slope even without major Republican spending.

          I’ve heard similar, in a critical battleground state no less from the likes of my one uncle. Obama->Trump->Biden->Undecided/Leaning-Trump. :))

            How the fuck can you go from Obama to Trump? Isn’t that like getting out of a Spike Lee joint and going “Can’t wait to tell the fellas at the Klan meeting about this awesome picture!”

            Stress Project 2025, and show them THIS - https://vxtwitter.com/JDVance1/status/1511311385543815180 This ad was the moment I knew that Vance was a disgusting human being who needs to be nowhere near the White House.

            I can’t believe they actually aired an ad that asks if I hate Mexicans with “Yes” being the answer the ad was not only expecting, but actively hoping for

              LMAO ah I see why they chose Vance… He appeals to the low-education joe roganite and pissed off uncle who needs something to blame. FUCK I wish Whitmer could run and then say, “look mother fucker, I was almost kidnapped by right-wing MAGA extremists and I’ll have you know if you actually paid attention in school, you’d understand the statistics behind the fact that native-born white American citizens commit more violent crime than undocumented immigrants.”

              But yeah, it’s true… There are LOADS of people who jumped from Obama to Trump; check this out: https://ballotpedia.org/Pivot_Counties:_The_counties_that_voted_Obama-Obama-Trump_from_2008-2016

              These people have an extremely shallow understanding of politics. They pretty much only hear the water-cooler banter at work, tune into Fox News partly hooked by the sports and that’s about all they do. They go with the winds very easily. If they’d have a beer with the guy and the economy is good, then sure they’ll vote. Why not. If they don’t, then they’ll either sit out or vote the other person (2016). Some are nihilists who just like to watch the world burn, Idk…

                I…

                I often forget that as dumb as I believe myself to be, and I am pretty sure that I’m fucking stupid, I’m still smarter than most humans. And no that is NOT a humble-brag.

                  It’s funny you say that because I was just saying this to my wife last night. I basically said, “you know… For much of my life I tended to be pretty humble and have low self-esteem. Always doubting decisions and so forth… But then as of late I am beginning to realize that maybe that all wasn’t a bad thing.” The mere fact that you have some introspection on that notion I think speaks to your own intelligence. Most people never second-guess anything they do, and worst of all, they always over-extend their fucking confidence in this country well beyond their actual understanding. It drives me nuts to no end. Trump is living breathing proof that “fake it til you make it” can get you all the way to the top, which I think is why so many dimwits fall for his rhetoric.
