politics

I still continue to fail to understand the logic these people are trying to use.

I completely understand the dissatisfaction with the Biden administration and his support for an ally who is currently committing genocide on the daily. And if there were a candidate who wasn't a completely batshit wannabe dictator, I'd at least understand why they'd vote for anyone else over Biden, if not agree with it.

But this is not the case. What these people fail to understand because they're literally blinded with rage is that the only other option is exponentially worse. Trump isn't going to stop Israel from bombing Gaza into oblivion. He's said as much. He basically wants to glass the entire area. Do these people not realize that what Trump wants to do is exponentially worse?

Voting for Trump because you don't like Biden's policies on Israel and Gaza isn't shooting yourself in the foot. It's shooting yourself in the foot, then reloading the shotgun when you realize you missed a few toes, then wondering why the hell your foot hurts and you're bleeding all over the place.

I understand the rationale of "I cannot in good conscience vote for a man who has supported and partially funded a brutal genocide." But at the same time, you're advocating for a man who's literally campaigning on "I'll genocide harder!". Why?

If you think Trump is, in any situation, a viable option for anything, please seek professional help immediately. There is never a situation where Donald Trump's decisions or actions are ever going to make your life better. Full stop.

Trump called for a Muslim ban and the Arabs in Michigan are like, yeah, that’s my guy.

Republicans are masterminds at not just getting people to vote against their own interest, but also at convincing them that they are, in fact, voting in their best interest.

If Trump wins I can’t help but wonder how many faces are going to be eaten by the leopards.

“If it came down to Trump and Joe Biden, I will vote for Trump. Because it doesn’t get worse than Joe Biden,”

Well, if Trump does get reelected, I hope for this guy's sake that he's right. I have my doubts, though.

Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

Right. This guy that called for a Muslim ban will be so much more sympathetic to the genocide in Gaza...

Well...Trump will indeed end the war quickly. Likely by turning Gaza into scorched earth.

And Trump with his SCotUS cronies have plans to end / strip birthright citizenship & deport 11M "undesirables".

Want to guess who will be at the very head of that line? You don't think Stephen Miller is getting lists of arrestees from the colleges right fucking now?

And I very seriously doubt I'll have the capacity to feel bad for the dangerously stupid by that point.

This is just a terribly written headline. The problem is, if you changed the headline, there wouldn't even be a story.

There's a fairly large group of Arabs in that area, and some of them might vote for Trump. This is not surprising. If you live in the area, it might even be worth reading more about why they would support Trump. One could try to discuss their positions and see if they really think that Trump would do better or worse than Biden.

It is often mentioned but needs to be repeated here, because the same mistake was made yet again... Any time you try to blame one small group for the outcome of an election, you're just wrong. Everyone who votes, or doesn't vote, everyone who campaigns, who supports people campaigning, everyone who creates or runs the systems that assemble and count votes, they all play a role in determining the outcome.

I mean my coworkers families are in danger today, why would you expect them to give a shit about an election six months away when they might get the call to find out they don't have relatives tomorrow.

Man, dumb shit like this makes me want to let the leopards they want to vote for eat their faces.

I'm white, male, solidly middle-aged. I can look like a neo-con magat if I need to. Shit, as long as the only thing I'm talking about is guns, most people will probably think I am a neo-con. Most people aren't going to recognize my tattoos, so they'll be able to believe that I'm some kind of christian fucko, esp. since I know the bible far better than most evangelicals.

I survived Trump's first term without too many direct negative effects. I'm old enough that I'm not the one that's going to be well and truly fucked when climate change slams into the US like a derailed freight train. I haven't had to worry about accidentally getting someone pregnant in 30 years, so rights to choose and access to birth control have zero direct affect on me. I can let dumb fucks burn their own house down around them, and it's not going to directly harm me.

...But goddamn, I still want to save those idiots from themselves, because I don't want to live in the country that Trump and Republicans want this to be.

Should have very strictly regulated the forever chemicals and micro plastics multiple decades ago. People are so inexplicably stupid and deranged that it has to be the chemicals.

Garbage "walk away" bullshit 2.0 remains bullshit. F'off.

Burn it down Pookie, burn the motherfucker down.

Are Establishment Democrats Really Prepared to Hand the Presidency Back to Donald Trump Rather Than Listen to Their Constituents? In a Word: Yes.

Who are 'the Arabs'? Would that be the same ones that billions of dollars of investment in buying Trump? Does it really seem odd that they'd want their asset back in the White House?

This isn't a failing of Biden. This is unchecked corruption.

Don't fall for the liars blaming arab-americans disgusted at our government's active role in the ongoing palestinian genocide.

Blame democrats who are providing military and political support to an ongoing genocide and expecting that somehow won't hurt them in the election.

Good grief, this is such a stupid take. If donnie gets his way, he'll be deporting them, most likely.

Sure, that'll teach him
