With Biden’s exit, we hope the purple parts of the country that couldn’t trust the president’s mental competency will now see the obvious truth about Trump

The crazy part is that there are two men running who fit the description

Kennedy. Got busted with heroin a while back.

Nobody cares because he owned up to having a worm eat part of his brain, and that's a lot worse

When you think about it, from an outside perspective I mean, as in not taking into account prior knowledge about the current state of America, it is somewhat incredible that the guy who had his brain eaten by a worm is not the most incoherent presidential candidate this year.

what the fuck is purple parts of the country?

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

NC is considered purple bc it's generally a toss up - but the NC Rep party is doing their ABSOLUTE fucking best to keep dems down. They do not represent the majority of voters in this state and their lying gerrymandering asses know it - fuck every single R in the NC government. Fuck you all.

I hope all your online reviews have this energy.

They generally do🙏🦖

In that case, I wish to subscribe to your tumblr/substack/street corner yelling.

At least the presidential votes aren't gerrymandered (assuming you don't consider the EC a gerrymander of its own).

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Oh I mean , it's specifically made to allow the minority to have a voice - that's how the Republicans abuse it.

Swing states are often referred to as "purple" because they don't consistently vote for just "red" or "blue"
