Even if Trump wasn't going to do awful things, I can't stand his stupid face or his stupid voice or his stupid stupidity. That's enough to vote for someone who'll beat him.
Get out of my head. I only watch late night talk shows on Youtube now just so I can skip past any Trump video. I hate that guy so much it makes my jaw hurt whenever I see his image.
Edit: I wish I could vote against him.
When I place my vote, I'll remember you 👍
Thanks fren!
Are you unable to vote against him because you're not American?
Yup.
Ah. Legally speaking, that's a pretty good excuse.
Generally speaking you vote for someone. I'm thinking they meant literally a box on the ballot:
☑️ Against trump
Heh, or just vote for his opponent whomever that may be :P
No. It absolutely isn't. I was too young to vote in the 2000 election, but Gore had the same stupid face, long drawn out speech paterns, and general unlikability.
However, his policies, and his message were good. I would have voted for him despite his stupid face, because of him being the better candidate.
I FULLY understand people hating trump......but I underatand the hate because trump is a piece of shit. I get why trump is hated for his bad policies. I get why people hate having a criminal in the white house.
But to say that if a candidate were good for the position, but you hate their face and voice, I wouldn't understand that.
Yeah but Gore did win that election. It was stolen from him. Just like Bernie won the DNC nomination and it was stolen from him. Fuck the DNC. But fuck the RNC harder.
This is the kind of comment that makes me angry, while I agree with all of it. It's a weird feeling to be yelling "YEAH I AGREE WITH THAT!!! RAAAAHHH!!!!!"
It was stolen from us.
Nah, Gore is not nearly as stupid as Trump, either in face, voice, or thought.
