    Trump supporters be like: “Um, ackchually, Trump wants to lower taxes, maybe only for the billionaires, but they can invest that into new jobs instead of paying for the state. Even if he outlawed homosexuality or transgenderism, a next president can re-legalize it!” (The last one was a real conversation I had with my mother about the child protection law of Fidesz, which so far seems only protecting the sensibilities of her boyfriend, who often makes such homophobic rants on disgust, you immediately know the real motive wasn’t the protection of children, unless you call childishly homophobic men children.)

    That’s why tankies don’t want to support kamala.

    It’s painfully clear by now that Gaza is just a trump card for them to whine about. It sucks.

      “That” being the promises in the meme? I don’t understand why that would make them not support Kamala.

        So lemme break things down…

        Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11… MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.

        I’m figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.

        Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won’t win (I fucking promise you they won’t) ISNT helping trump out.

        They’re leveraging a genocide to fuck with people’s emotions to manipulate things. It’s gross. Tankies are gross.

    Harris needs to douch more than just help US families. She’s either going to rebuild the political system from the ground up or next elections after her will be the last. Dictators are knocking on the door and damn near half of the US is desperately trying to get that door open because they’ve been brainwashed into believing it’s the right thing to do

    The entire winner takes all needs to go out the window, it will destroy the country. Electoral college, out the window, it’s a stupid idea to begin with. Gerrymandering, out. The supreme Court members should have a 4 years max tenure and requires VERY strict rules to avoid corruption

    Concepts like fox news should be prohibited, too. Freedom of speech? Sure, but if you claim to be a news organization you either do your dned best to be honest or you get shut down. Fox news and honesty is like fore and water, it doesn’t go together.

    Just a few ideas to begin with

      Yep. I will be both frightened and proud if he comes after the subset of enemies I’m in. Again.

    The results of this election should look like those rigged Central American dictatorship elections. So ashamed that so many of my fellow Americans can’t get the mental health help they obviously need.

    Sadly a lot of people unironically think that these captions should be reversed, because revenge = violence and that’s Chad af and helping others is for wusses, or something

      Also, hundreds of years of prosperity gospel. If you’re poor or suffering, then you must have done something wrong because God is punishing you. If you’re thriving, then you must be good because God is rewarding you. That’s one reason why the police go after poor people more heavily. There more likely to pull over an old beater car than they are a new pickup truck. So if you want to commit crimes just drive a newer truck because they won’t even look at you. Even better if you put a thin line sticker somewhere.

    Sadly some people think “revenge” is a good enough platform to qualify sometime for the top office. As long as the revenge is at least pretending to target people they already don’t like or that they’ve been programmed to think had wronged them in some way.

      Most Trump supporters don’t seem to realize that he wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. Well, unless they’re members of Mar-a-Lago. I think that’s included in the membership, but I’m gonna guess that job gets delegated to Don Jr. or Eric.

    I don’t care how selfish that dog acted, I would vote for them 1000 times before ever considering Trump.
