        They do and he empowered them to get loud and fight for their “beliefs”. We’re all like “Great, another folksy dope remark, from the folksy dope”, but they see their own view on things confirmed by the great, successful & rich version of themselves.

        At least that’s what I’ve come to believe, after all these years of jaw dropping things said and done. The reaction to most things Trump does and says, should be a “No” in unison from every human being that can add 1 and 1.

    You know. I supported Trump before he ever ran for president. I could look passed the grab them by the pussy thing; the racism thing; the white supremacy thing; the rape thing; the epstein thing; the incoherent speech thing; the nepotism; the criminal activity; him sucking off putin; the dictator thing; etc. etc.

    But to hear him confuse Biden for Obama, I’m out.

        Yes.

        When you vote for someone you are also voting for the advisors and their other support staff. I much prefer Bidens support staff.

        Why wouldn’t we?

        They don’t even need to. Retirement age exists because we acknowledge that passed some point people are to old to function properly on the job. So what the fuck are they doing in politics?

        When offered 2 bad choices i’ll stick with the lesser evil though, which is the one not literally quoting Hitler and campaign promising a dictatorship.

            The alternative is the same genocide, plus even more of it in more places, most likely. Including right here on American soil.

              If a dog pisses on the floor and you give them a treat they are gonna think it’s ok to piss on the floor.

              Biden could come out and say I could kill 30k Palestinians and my supporters will say the other guy is more dangerous…

                These aren’t dogs, they’re people with political power. You’d have to be a moron to think a slap on the wrist is worth the actual collapse of democracy.

            Do you honestly believe that trump wouldn’t also support that genocide? Netanyahu is a longtime friend and supporter of trump’s.

            Sadly we are stuck with a “lesser of two evils” situation - and Biden, while supporting evil, is still less evil (by far) than trump.

              What Trump might do is irrelevant, instead of focusing on what ifs, people should be focusing on right now.

                What an enormously stupid thing to say! What a candidate might do while in office is literally how you decide your vote…

            Rebuilding the US into a dictatorship seems like something, that should be avoided. But then I am not a US citizen.

                Yeah so why not just hop in bed with actual dictatorship?

                Just look at Russia; it’s going so well for them! No genocides at all and it solved all of their problems with capitalism!

                And they have shopping carts!!! Let’s be Russia!

            Because genocide plus fascism is worse than genocide alone. Is this even a real question or are you just trolling?

            Lesser evil is still evil, it really is a testament to how bad things have gotten.

            Neither option cares or would actually change much about the atrocities.

            Retirement age exists because at one time it was expected that people would generally achieve a certain level of wealth and live out the rest of their days doing what they wanted with that wealth and time.

            A retirement age exists because it was fought for by the labor movement, and it was set during the creation of Social Security in the US during the New Deal. It was also set at the average age of death IIRC, and because a large part of the homeless problem during the Great Depression was seniors who had not saved enough money to support themselves without a job’s income and were largely unable to obtain new work.

    USA continuously confuses Trump and Biden for good candidates though, which seems like a worse mistake.

        Why is he wrong? He’s not comparing the two to each other, he’s staying that neither are good candidates, which is objectively true

          Biden is a great candidate if you support his policies.

          Trump has absolutely no policies.

          Big difference.
