MODERATORS
They must want to completely lose Democracy because they aren't getting their way. That's what's in the ballot. There very likely won't BE 2028 election if Rump gets back in.
Then we don't fucking deserve it or it will be time to refresh the tree of liberty. When disenfranchised people tell you that they don't see a difference, ask why. These folk have lost family members and are telling you that, from their perspective the only difference between having a R and a D in the White House is whether you show up to protest too.
“Refresh the Tree of Liberty”.. that’s some bullshit, Trump gets into office and he’ll chop that tree down himself. Then deport all the Muslims he can. Voting R is the literal version of “chop your nose off to spite your face”.
If they can’t see a difference between having legal abortions and not, they’re fucking idiots.
Yes, Roe still exists and we need to preserve it by... making excuses for not codifying it.
Hey maybe republicans will do it.
"Everyone to my left is all the way to my right"
Na mine is “those idiots think getting the party furthest from their supposed ideal elected will be good for them”.
Then don't accuse me of being a Republican for pointing out that Democrats did fuck all to preserve Roe.
I didn’t. I was sarcastically pointing out that we have a 0% chance of that happening under republicans.
Meanwhile if we had elected Clinton we would be looking at a very different SCOTUS and still have Roe standing.
I naively thought that out little Trump boondoggle would remind people of what can happen when they forget what kind of system we all function under but here we are, again, saying “you really don’t want to do that”.
Guess we need another round to make things even worse?
Bullshit.
If Clinton had run as though she needed votes in states she ignored, she might have won.
But trying to get votes is beneath Democrats.
lol the fuck? It’s literally a facetious statement “maybe republicans will do it” while knowing full well that would never happen.
Nothing in that comment even slightly suggests I’m calling you a Republican.
How does one “ignore” a state?
That’s it, if Biden doesn’t come knocking on my door I’m not voting for him. Otherwise, how could I ask him questions and gather information on his policy positions? [this is another sarcastic paragraph meant to point out the fact that people shouldn’t need a visit from a candidate to make a voting decision. TV and the internet exist.]
By not campaigning in them.
I mean, that's what Clinton failed to do in swing states. And it's why she lost. You may think that swing states have an overinflated sense of their own importance and that talking to the flyover hayseeds is unbecoming, but ultimately, votes are earned, and can be lost. Clinton couldn't grasp that. She lost.
You can't grasp it either.
Maybe it's because understanding it means you'll have to admit that Clinton earned her loss.
I found his walkback unconvincing and decided to let it go because I had other things to say and didn't want to deal with him fixating on that. Believe what you want.
Like I said, believe what you want.
If you can't see the difference between not being able to get an abortion and your mother being dead, then I pity you and your lack of empathy.
If the overturn of Roe has turned you into a one issue voter, then I will pair you off with a 2nd amendment one issue voter and you can angrily jerk each other off.
Na I just picked an issue that any fucking moron would be able to tell the parties apart on.
Hey maybe Trump will be better on Muslim relations though.
Ah yes, Muslims are famously all pro-choice.
TIL discerning between two things is tantamount to support for one of them.
If you look at Democrats and Republicans and see no difference, you may want to ask yourself why a Trump presidency would be the same for you as a Biden presidency. There aren't a whole lot of non white working class Americans who can say that.
