As a non-American, I beg you, get rid of Trump. You’re the most powerful country in the world, your election has so much impact outside your borders, we are looking at it and are expecting…
What happens in November ? We don’t know and it’s kinda scary…
We’re trying. 60 million of us (about 18%) are mentally defective backward degenerates that hold disproportionate power in our idiotic electoral system. The tyranny of this minority brought you trump.
I like your optimism but unfortunately cannot share it. Too many IRL experiences to convince me that sane people are anything but a 30% minority nationwide.
I’ve had those experiences too, but the data doesn’t support that conclusion. Far from being the “silent majority,” they’re actually a very loud minority. If our elections were truly fair, they’d never have been given the time of day.
They’re only about a third. That’s not really solace, though. The Nazis only had about 30% support, as did Mussolini. That’s all it takes for fascism to succeed.
Because they aren’t very bright and they need it to be simple. They’ve found a mindless mantra they can recite and, by golly, they’re going to keep saying it.
Look, I get it, you’re unhappy. But maybe take a moment to consider that if your post and Russian propaganda are indistinguishable, something has probably gone wrong.
I’m not calling you Russian propaganda. I’m just saying you’re probably getting downvotes not because you have a “disallowed” opinion. It’s because you’re not showing an awareness for how insanely disproportionate and unhelpful it is to shift a conversation from “let’s not elect a fascist leader” to “Joe Biden sucks.” And the reason why is because the only effect that comment can have is to (1) divert negative attention from Trump and (2) depress enthusiasm for Biden voters who read it.
I assure you, no one is mad that you hate both sides. They’re “mad” because you oversimplified a ridiculously complicated situation with huge global ramifications, in an attempt to equate both sides because you think holding that position makes you smart and independent…when in reality it is neither smart nor independent.
I didn’t equate both sides though, I said I hate Biden and Trump is objectively worse.
That doesn’t mean I’m not going to vote for him or not vote at all.
My whole point is that I am not looking forward to voting for him knowing that he is much much better than Trump, but that he will not change his policies, which I disapprove of.
Genocide Joe because of his obvious involvement in Gaza and because of his copy paste foreign policy from the Obama administration
Criminally insane orange because he has been criminally charged multiple times, acts insane, and is also orange lol.
It’s just too easy to make fun of them because the two party system heavily restricts your ability to vote for a candidate that you actually want or need.
So every election period always starts off with a candidate who I almost always didn’t want or vote for, and immediately expect nothing from which is usually what happens.
unfortunatly idiots like that are all over this place and completely remove the ability to have an actual rational discussion without them wedging that one topic into every fucking conversation

As an American, we don’t know either and it’s terrifying.

Most of us know, and are just as terrified as you are. We’re just gerrymandered out of any ability to actually affect the process rationally.
Sorry not most, barely half. A fucktonne of the right still support him.
No, I’m sticking with most. We’re just gerrymandered enough that the smaller group can exert an outsized influence over the rest of us.

As a Canadian, its never been so divided as when the previous president was in power. Are we divided? Yes.
As bad as when Cheeto Dorito was in power? Absolutely not.
We have little say in that. You need to ask pootin.
Yeah I’m so excited to vote for genocide joe over the criminally insane orange.
I’m excited to actually be able to vote in 2028. That’s what I’m voting for.
These names you keep giving politicians… Why?
Is it hatred against career politicians?
A way for people to remember bad things they’ve done?
Is it mostly tongue in cheek?
Legitimately curious
Because they aren’t very bright and they need it to be simple. They’ve found a mindless mantra they can recite and, by golly, they’re going to keep saying it.
why is everyone mad that I hate both candidates lol.
I said it pretty clearly, I’m not happy that I have to vote for an incumbent who I didn’t want just because the alternative is objectively worse.
Also because I like calling people funny names.

Because the average voter is as mature as the average politician, I guess. ‘Of the people’ and all that jazz.
All of the above lol.

There’s only one group of people that use that name, stop pretending to be moderate.
spots term only “the enemy” uses
America is such a shitshow to watch
Then go to moscow I’m sure they’ll make a place for you at the troll farms.

Wow I came here to get away from shitstains like you…
