Donald Trump Has No Idea What Has Hit Him, and It’s a Joy to Watch

He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

      Maybe! I’m not really advocating that thought, I’m just saying it wouldn’t surprise me. And I’m pretty happy to say I was wrong in thinking the DNC would be a total shit show of competing interests. She’s not my perfect candidate, but honestly no one is and I’m not going to let perfect be the enemy of good. Plus I like Walz.

      Look at Feinstein. The people pushing her wheelchair were absolutely ready to have her run for another term, with fucking dementia or whatever her health issue is……

      That was one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen in politics. She was more mostly dead than Westley in The Princess Bride.

          As a preface to this, I’m not the one downvoting you. I also think what’s happening is abhorrent.

          Since you’re in a blue state, it’s not nearly as big of a deal. However, for anyone reading this in battleground states, remember that the only alternative who actually has any shot of winning in FPTP electoral college is Trump who thinks Israel should “finish the job”.

          I’m pretty sure you know why you’re being downvoted. If we want more real options we need to start working towards any system that isn’t FPTP electoral college bullshit.

              What about “Trump who thinks Israel should “finish the job”.” did you not hear? What makes the opposition, Trump, more worthy of your vote?

              I’m open to Harris walz but I need something to happen to end this genocide before I can take them seriously.

              But you take Trump seriously?

                  This is pretty brain dead of you. It’s not a boogeyman, it’s just reality.

                  I understand being angry at the current admin. I don’t like Kamala either. I don’t like the genocide. I disavow the genocide and I wish Israel’s apartheid regime was dissolved.

                  Now let’s face facts. The Trump admin did a lot of damage. And honestly, the Biden admin has allowed for a lot of damage to continue. And maintaining that honesty, I think the Harris admin will not be much better.

                  But this is absolutely a choice between an evil and a lesser evil, and to disagree with that? Fucking stupid. You want to make a difference? Too bad. Your vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Your lack of a vote isn’t going to solve the genocide. Nothing you can legally do is going to solve the genocide.

                  If you want to do something about it, then you should. But if your idea of “doing something about it” is not voting for the democratic ticket… it isn’t productive. Maybe spend that energy differently.

                  I live in a red state so I’m voting third party anyway. But if the alt right is allowed to proceed with project 2025, let’s see how long we have before we are dealing with our own genocide, huh?

                  Wake up call: literally every admin has supported the wanton murder of civilians. Literally every admin has blood on their hands. Literally every admin is a war criminal.

                  Advocating for not voting for the Harris admin won’t do anything about it.
