The article is quite literally about democrats applauding Trump's rhetoric, coming from a democrats mouth. Between this and Dems cheering for Harris' copying of Trump's border policy during one of her rallies, y'all don't have a leg to stand on any more.
So, you read only the headline, and didn't even understand what the headline said...
I can see why you are a trump voter. Minimal effort and still did even that effort wrong.
Not a trump voter and didn't misread. "Just joking" is also the excuse many trump supporters use to excuse their far right fascist when he goes off script.
So how does using Trumps line of "how can we trust Harris to get any of her promises done now when she has been vice president for 4 years and didn't do them then" against him by saying he was president for 4 years make sense with what you are saying if you read this and understand it?
What am I missing that links this to what you are saying?
There is no way I can answer that without suggesting things about you that would get me banned, so I'm just going to say get well soon.
Ah, not creative enough? I mean, you could even just answer the question and not even make it about me, just the actual answer. That would do it.
It is not my job to teach you basic reading comprehension. Try finding a copy of hooked on phonics.
It sounds more like you don't have an answer and just like talking anyway.
I think you forgot what you asked. Maybe reread and try again, eventually you'll get the hang of English.
Indeed Ivan, you get potato, now pack your things, the Motherland needs you in Kursk!
Really can't wait for your owners to get a hate boner for a different random country. The racist jokes are cute, and they prove beyond a doubt democrats are as racist as Republicans, but you gotta add variety. You people have been repeating the same nonsense since the 1930s.
I can't wait to see your face on the FPV montages. I'll be sure to repost the memes they make of your expression.
That's nice dear. I hope you get exactly what you vote for to be done to others. I'll happily pay the same amount of lip service as you do at your families' corpseless funeral.
Lemme know when you people actually manage to get anything done lol. Meanwhile, I'll continue serving proudly in the strategic deterrent forces. HOOYAH AMERICA. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just!
Well next time just say you're a satire account. If you pretend to be a genocidal Nazi that hard that often people might block you.
They asked you a question and you said you couldn't answer without being offensive.
Because the question they asked was already answered. Sealioning is a common tactic amongst the far right when they realize their stance cannot be defended.
He has concepts of an answer.
He'll answer in two weeks.
And the whoppers keep coming. Got any more bad takes?
Genuine question, why leave reddit when you agree in totality with the admins and general hive mind?
There's a hive mind and you are the lone free thinker who sees the truth... as you spout the same lazy pessimistic 'they're all the same" bullshit that pathological contrarians always fall back on. How edgy and big brained you are.
I didn't say they're all the same. Democrats are right wing neoliberal representatives of corporate interests which run contrary to the long term survival of humanity; who Republicans are far right wing neoliberal representatives of corporate interests which run contrary to the long and short term survival of humanity but also are openly racist. Both openly outright support genocide ass so their voters.
There's plenty of politicians that do not fall under these categories, in fact three of whom are currently running for president, two of whom have ballot access for 400+ electoral votes.
Of course, two weeks to the election: "vote third party!" May as well be saying, "Throw away your votes and make sure that you have even less say in the outcome of this election than most people already have, and let the even smaller minority decide for you."
Third parties should be valid choices, but they aren't. Not in a First Past The Post voting system. They are never the sound choice when FPTP always leads to two diametrically opposed major parties. IIf you want third parties to be relevant and good choices beyond local elections, advocate for voting system reform, not for people to throw away their votes out of dissatisfaction with the status quo. For now, we live in reality, and we have to vote accordingly.
Edit: Also, way to say "I'm not saying they are the same. They are different... I'm just saying their differences are essentially negligible" pffft. Ok.
That's nice dear, I'm not voting for genocide.
Effectively and intently are different in this case. The margins are so close that "not voting for genocode" is voting for worse genocide. We don't get a choice of not genocide.
There is no such thing as worse genocide. Just because you're proving that you would vote for Hitler, doesn't mean you can shame or threaten the rest of us into voting for Hitler.
There is always a choice. Im not voting for genocide.
The whole idea of the genocide being worse under Trump makes me laugh in order to avoid crying.
People are really justifying Biden and Kamala’s support of genocide by arguing the genocide will be worse under Trump.
I don’t think they realize what they are saying.
The sad thing is I'm starting to think they do realize what they're saying. They genuinely believe genocide is inevitable and they're not at fault for choosing to support it.
It's weird living through a fascist dystopia and coming to understand first hand how "reasonable" people come to outright openly cheer on genocide.
I know you're probably just trolling, so it doesn't matter what I say. But I'll keep it up anyway, for the slim chance you are just a closed minded child that has been indoctrinated and isn't actually thinking about anything they are saying, just reacting and spewing whatever comes to mind.
The real world isn't about what you want to happen in an ideal world. It's about what will actually happen as a result of your actions. There very much is worse genocide, genocide of more types of people at once, in more places at once, and to a worse scale for people already being genocided. Please don't let Trump get what he wants.
Yes, of course everyone decent wants what you want... we're not idiots. But we also can see that there is no path to it. And that trying to get it will just lead to losing the chance to have 90% of what we want instead.
There is no black and white choice in real life, which can be hard to accept for people stuck on black and white thinking(which is actually alot of people, like 10% or so). Trying to make decisions as though something must be perfect to be a good choice, is going to lead to having huge problems because this isn't the only situation where trying to pick the perfect choice just leads to getting a way worse result. Usually, the consequences will come in the form of waiting and doing nothing because a perfect choice never presents itself. But sometimes people prey on a black and white mentality to falsely present a "perfect" choice, knowing some percentage of the population will have no choice but to fall for it.
Sometimes, third-party candidates are even funded by the other side in order to do this very thing for something as important as an election. So they very well know that it has an effect, if people like that are willing to actually spend money they could otherwise be hoarding.
I'm sorry, child. I'm not voting for genocide.
Well, good luck. Obviously, I hope your perfect candidate gets in, and it doesn't just allow Trump in like I think it would. I would be very happy if you were right and I was wrong.
But I forsee third party candidates getting 10% of the vote, and those votes coming primarily from Kamala, and then having to live with Trump. Kamala clearly isn't perfect. No one thinks she is, politics are just broken enough that it doesn't play out the way you clearly want it to. No matter what. You want third party, make sure they are in a position where they are polling decently before it is too late, or no one will waste their vote on them.
I'm sorry, child, I'm not voting for genocide. That is humanity's red line. If you want to be the same as a Nazi and gleefully or even sorrowfully vote for genocide, that's on you. History treats the Nazis that voted out of fear the same as those that voted out of pride.
Ok
The use of trump's rhetoric is sarcastic. Pretty Obviously so, given the context of the speaker, the setting, well, everything about it.
But keep on keeping on
I'm pretty sure Harris cosponsoring the most draconian immigration bill proposed in US history wasn't sarcastic.
Ok lemme know when you're super sure
Since when does a vice president co-sponsor a bill? VP is not a senator. They aren't even allowed to address the senate without permission.
You are talking out your ass about shit you don't even understand. Just repeating faux news and truth™ social talking points.
Anyone on earth can cosponsor a bill. A random citizen can introduce a bill. How do you not know the basics of government? This is literally a process you learn about in 3rd grade.
Dig in deeper instead of just doing a Google search.
Write a bunch of comments explaining how everyone else is wrong instead of just putting a few words in a search box to fact check yourself and realize you're wrong.
This is how Trump happened.
You realize you, as a contemporary human, have literally the entire sum of human knowledge in your pocket, right? You don't have to be an idiot everywhere. You could just, ya know, try to function like an autonomous person.
Edit: I see what happened here. Didn't retort, just down voted and moved on. What I wrote is fiction to them. They cannot accept defeat because doing so means admitting flaws, and that's the last thing these people will ever do.
Our political landscape is the culmination of a continued lack of investment into public education combined with a severely undermanaged mental health epidemic....probably brought on by wearing our brains down to nubs with mindless drone work and recycled media in the endless quest of satiating capitalism. The polluted water and food probably isn't helping much either.
