As a non American I just can't comprehend how any of you even have to think about this.
On one hand, an old man, who, despite his age and stumbling over his words, has ran the country relatively successfully for the last four years.
On the other hand, another old man that was a global embarrassment, cosied up to Putin and Kim, spent most of his time golfing and shitting his pants, stole classified documents and likely sold state secrets, he is a sexual abuser, an actual criminal, clearly has corrupt justices on his side with crazy plans, chummy with epstein and took multiple trips to pedo Island, promoted racism at every opportunity, many of the people connected to him for his first term were imprisoned, refused to accept your democratic process, contributed in instigating a fucking coup attempt, and that's likely not even the half of it...
Like, how the fuck can ANY of you look at that and say "Yeah but Biden stumbles over his words so I'll just throw my vote away/vote for trump..."
I feel like I'm going insane just watching this shit unfold. It is all so bizarre.
As an American I'm newly flabbergasted by this every damn day
Don't worry, those of us Americans who don't have their heads up their asses are just as baffled as you are and 3 times as embarrassed that Trump is even an option again.
I am in a fucking loop of laughter and tears because I don't even know what to do anymore.
Yes. It's insane. I will vote for whoever is most likely to beat Trump. It's embarrassing that he is RNC's pick for candidate. He demonstrated his inability to do the job and his fans still want him because he hurts the "right people". Horrifying.
It's not even "he hurts the 'right people'" anymore, because Trump's policies hurt everyone. It's"he hurts the 'right people'" more than he hurts me. I will give myself a cold to give you a fever.
I just don't want an old rapist racist in charge of a country.
If pay money to hear the words "pedo Island" used against TFG in the debate.
