How is protesting cuts to Medicaid and social programs helping those you listed, and not benefiting you and me?
These are just trolls trying to continuously crush The United States by convincing people not to vote for the Democrats, creating A majority Republican voting pool.
Or they're people that actually want change and a better life for us all. And that's not coming via either current party in the US.
Very true. I hope they have the day they voted for.
My name is Jake Gless. Google me. I stand up straight for my positions. Nothing troll-like here from me. I am a bleeding heart.
Have you considered the possibility that I’m right and maybe you’re not? Cory Booker is NOT the answer. CORY BOOKER IS THE PROBLEM. I will not support self-serving neolibs.
Send me a face pic holding up 3 fingers to prove you are you.
wtf…I’ve been supporting you in another thread this morning about the Vancouver massacre. Cory “Spartacus Tears-of-Rage” Booker is as fake and performative as a slimy politician could ever be. I despise him.
Hey he specifically broke the record for longest filibuster when it didn't matter directly after voting yes to the budget proposal. How is that performative?!?! /S
Could have done it a week earlier and it be an actual filibuster instead of some symbolic bs.
image sent, check your DM
***edit: wait a sec…are you a komradebot? maybe you need to send me a photo with the hang loose handsign.
Confirmed an image holding up 3 fingers. However I will note that googling your name got no matching faces. Are you saying you’re the Lakewood teacher? Or?
*Was. No principals ever had the backbone to hire me again after I stood up for what’s right.
That is me. Not a right-wing troll, not remotely. Who are you?
That was a pretty shitty situation.
This was not a back and forth identity deal.
Okaydokay komradebot. Looks like we can both agree now which one of us is legitimate and which one of us is not.
I despise internet anonymity for its duplicitousness almost as much as I despise Cory Booker for his duplicitousness.
I don’t know who komradebot is, but I can promise you I’m not Russian nor interested in anything ML has to say.
And yes, booker doesn’t really shine, to put it mildly.
Did you vote in the 2024 presidential election?
Did you brush your teeth this week? I got all A’s in college and a National Merit Award before that. Get to the point and just tell me why you think I’m not as intelligent or as informed as yourself, please.
I never made those accusations.
Did you vote or not?
Still can’t access the newest comments to reply directly to them.
Of course I voted, you stablegenius. I only told you that to see where you were trying to go. You are trying to claim a snooty highroad over me. I voted. I always vote. You have severely lost credibility by attempting this highroading. You have NOTHING over me. Do better.
So, you voted for whom?
Our conversation appears to be too far down the thread for the newest comments to be accessible. I see no relevance of my vote in 2024. So I’m going to tell you NO I DID NOT VOTE IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION just to see where you’re trying to go with this.
Well, an intelligent person would know that Michigan is a swing state and therefore their vote very much matters. An intelligent person could also do the very easy math and understand that not voting would give Trump a greater chance to win. And if an intelligent person chose not to vote against Trump, they would know the outcome would be in his favor, and they would be okay with that.
So, if you aren’t a Trump supporter… then you’re just not intelligent.
Ps. I know you’re going to hate that logic, and the self-realization that comes with it, but I just want you to know that I only take issue with your political stance, and that otherwise you are probably a quality person and a great teacher.
What an annoying question. My state of MI reelected Gov. Whitmer two years ago by >450k votes, yet somehow dotard flipped our blue state by a margin just beyond a legal recount. I do not believe my state’s 2024 presidential election results are legitimate. My vote did not matter.
I’m sorry that you find it an annoying question, but that’s rather relative. As far as the legitimacy of the Michigan result, that is not relevant to the question.
Are you saying that you did not vote in the presidential election?
How is dotard wearing diapers helping fascism? This is not a valid rebuttal from you. Cory Booker exists to help himself, Israel, and Big Pharm.
Unequivocally.
If taking popular positions to get elected helps dotard pull up his diapers and also happens to have an ancillary benefit to you or me, that doesn’t cancel out Booker’s loyalty to Israel and Big Pharm.
