☭POLITICS☭: Election Season Hell

[concealer]

Just circling back to appreciate the guy holding a metal umbrella watching a guy almost get struck to death by lightning 15 feet from him and continuing to hold the metal umbrella over himself

[Ted Mujint]

Just came in here to see if this thread still sucks. No surprise, it does.

If crustache has million fans, then I'm one of them. If crustache has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If crustache has no fans, that means I'm dead

Thanks for having some integrity crustache. These old fogeys are all deluded and bugging if they can't see the writing on the walls. Kamala will lose unless she understands the popular position on Palestine. This is not an issue that anyone with any integrity will compromise on. If she doesn't care about our votes, she won't get them(she's not getting mine either way).

I think it's hilarious that all you crackers think that minorities are not unified on this. My 60 y/o upper middle class mother lives in Pennsylvania and is considering staying home because she says that Kamala is a closeted Republican and has beef over all the people she put in jail. I think you people underestimate the trauma that having a spouse of loved one in this country's corrupt-ass corrections system does to people, even people with money.

But yeah, go off kings. Keep telling brown people how to feel about issues that don't affect you.

Hey we can say cracker. You can't

This is kind of the whole talking past what people are actually saying in this thread thing again. It seems like nobody here actually likes her, dude. Also, saying she'll lose because of her Palestine position is crazy when she's winning, sometimes beyond the margin of error, in most polls. Don't get me wrong. She's well aware that it's an important enough issue where she avoided tapping Shapiro, but for most of this country, Palestine isn't even a passing thought throughout the day. If you want to have your vote be an extension of your morals, that's your right. Life is a lot easier when you accept that marginal change in the only thing possible in this wretched country though.

And regarding crustache, when the dumbest person in the room is on your side, that's a sign.

[Sorley Boy]

All minorities are united against Kamala (except Kamala obv).

[Ass Dan]

For most of us it doesn't matter if we vote for Kamala or not anyways. I'm probably not going to vote for her because Trump is going to win Ohio anyways and I am not happy with Dems on Palestine, immigration or China. If I lived somewhere like Wisconsin or Georgia i’d probably swallow my pride because it’s obvious Kanala is better on all three fronts than Trump (plus a ton of other issues).

[Sorley Boy]

The only voting dilemma I'm facing is whether I write in Sofia, Chalie, or Bartolo Colon. I still think crustache is a moron and uncommitted people in actual swing states should be practical.

[Porch Honky]

I'm not voting for her either, but I'm sick of other leftists just wandering around the ether making no real differences. Like shit or get off the fucking pot already.


I want conservatives gone first, SO FUCKING DO THAT.

[AL]

voting for someone doesn't have to mean you stan them & believe they've done no wrong. it's damage control at best. i'm not going to tell anyone how to feel but people put way too much emotion into their vote as if it doesn't count the same as everybody else's... which isn't even that much.


treat it like taking a shit & move on.

[johnny two cool]

Probably not voting for her for the same reasons as the people above. That being said, while many people under a certain age care about Palestine, people over that age do not. Old people vote (AARP isn’t that far behind AIPAC). The groups of people who care a lot who would otherwise vote for the democratic candidate… those are all concentrated in certain areas most of which are not in serious dispute.

To the Muj’s point, I watched the the Mearsheimer talk from May last night and, apparently, more than half of Biden voters believe Israel is committing a genocide and public perception of Israel is more negative than it’s maybe ever been.

its always damage control. We are basically in a failed state and you've been riding my ass for calling out a party that's at best throwing a bucket of water on a wildfire. Also you can't change the dem party, look what they did to bernies group whem they took over Nevada dnc.

what I'm saying if this isn't a recline for a party, why the fuck would you wanna be a part of it.

[johnny two cool]

The United States is not a failed state by any conceivable measure.

Can we talk about recline for a sec

What up? I see that the thread is focused on foreign policy once again, so I will need to redirect its focus to historic investments in hydrogen and recent FTA rules I really like.

So people who were never going to vote for Kamala & minorities with historically low voter turnout are all unified on... not voting for Kamala

[johnny two cool]

Kamala probably doesn't "care" that much about my vote. Because I'm a childless 30 year old white man with a college degree and a "knowledge job", a demographic that doesn't often vote and is basically immoveable from whichever party they vote for if they do vote. Although, the YIMBYs for Harris livestream was interesting and I think more progress has been made in that area in the past few years than anytime previously -- and across the country. Of course, my grandmother thinks that the conversion of the Glendale Mall into a mixed use property is "ugly" but I think younger people are less superficial. So, I dunno, the YIMBY appeal is probably turning some members of my demographic out for Harris.

we don't have democracy, dnc have completely rigged there's, citizens united, most people can't afford 500 hit, millions uninsured, police state, representatives openly committing insider trading, military budget almost a trillion, and life expectancy is going down.

I get it. International law and its arbitrary and problematic definitions and imperialist orientation don't matter and we shouldn't care because the U.S. is a heckin failed state because McDonald's cost too much.

credit card debt all time high, housing toast, its not just McDonald's. Maybe your trust fund got you through but alot people are struggling. You prob got hard when harris talked about having the most lethal advanced army in world.
