That’s why I’m never gonna cancel my USA subscription. Your shows always have a crazy twist right before the season finale.
Jokes aside: Not a single person who even considers voting for Trump is worth any hassle. Their vote is a coin flip on fucking acid. The dems should try to animate the lazy nonvoting pricks.
It's pretty telling how you can meme about the most dangerous nation on the planet slipping into fascism. Of course you don't care now because it isn't happening in your city. I guaran-fucking-tee if drumpf gets re-elected, it will be IN your city by next year. So laugh it up.
As a trans woman in a red state I can meme, I have to. If I stop joking I’m gonna fall into despair lol
I'm not sure what that has to do with you helping usher in fascism but you can make up whatever justification you want to help you sleep better, just accept that, especially for you, the world will be SIGNIFICANTLY worse when twice impeached, convicted felon, probably pedophile and certain fascist cheetolini gets memed into office.
I suggest a better cope than actively damaging morale. Something offline.
No fucking shit. I joke but I also make damn clear what the options are. Survival or not. I’ll mock my own side but I’ll also shame the hell out of any non democratic voter this year. You may not see the latter as often because I do that in person.
Honestly I suspect you’re damaging the cause more than me at the moment. The guy who really fucked up here imo won’t be President near year. It’s not on Harris regardless of my thoughts on the lady (that she’s a better leader than speaker and that I wish we could get someone like Senator Brown or Representative Ocasio-Cortez
I don't think anyone means to disparage the very real concerns facing USians, and I think non-USians recognize this affects every one of us regardless of country (I recently made a comment regarding this exactly).
I think that commenter was just using humour because it's quite overwhelming that within a week-- Trump's been shot at and Biden is stepping aside.
If us outsiders are feeling this, then I imagine it is so much worse for USians. I am empathetic to how stressful this must be, and hope for a candidate who annhilates Trump and leads your country towards healing.
The president of the United States affects the rest of the world but we don't have a say in who it is, so I don't know what you expect from us foreigners? Perhaps my country which is a staunch US ally and a fraction of the size should launch a coup?
Sort your shit out, America, because nobody is in a position to do it for you. We're making jokes because it seems unreal that things have gotten this far and because there is no real way for us to influence US domestic politics.
