I trained my kids to be intelligent, so my household will be generating five Harris votes in November.
miketag8337@reddit
You and your kids may be intelligent but you’re voting for the dumbest presidential candidate of our lifetime and it is not close.
6dirt6cult6@reddit
Yea you have to be way smarter to inherit a fortune, lie about everything, be a civilly liable rapist, be a convicted felon, cheat on your wife and commit treason than to pass the bar. Checkmate.
Al-Akrab@reddit
Ask yourself... Since Trump doesn't do his own taxes, he has accountants and tax attorneys who do the paperwork and certify it to the letter of the law, then his taxes were filed and accepted by the state of New York and the IRS, he was audited, found to have no issues, investigated by the FEC, found to have no issues, then a Biden DOJ member go to New York, get a law passed to sidestepp statute of limitations, prosecute hime for an accounting issue which was done by some else, not allow that someone else to testify, instrut a jury that a unanimous decision isn't necessary and that they can just suspect him of linking 34 accounting line items to any federal crime they can think of, without being prosecuted or convicted of said federal related felony, WHAT DO YOU HAVE? And then the woman he was found guilty of only "defamation of character" and not sexual assault, is a woman who lives in a forest with a house of free roaming mice, has accused multy men of the same thing, and said Trump raped her in a year she doesn't remember at a location she doesn't remember in broad daylight in a mall store surrounded by customers and employees, and Trump is found guilty of defamation for saying "she's not my type" what is that? Are these convictions or the twisting and abuse of the judicial system?
Al-Akrab@reddit
The numbers were all there. That was never in dispute. There was not 1 Penny unaccounted for. The problem was where the expense was coded. And again that was coded by the accountant who was not allowed to testify to such, the Attorney who verified it, and the IRS, NY State, and the FEC who all approved it. look it up. To be ignorant in the Information Age is willful
6dirt6cult6@reddit
Your accountant can only use the numbers you gave them. They aren’t there to see if you lied about them. A lifetime of lies is finally catching up to him and you’re there catching knives trying to keep his house of cards from collapsing. So ask yourself why are YOU so invested in defending someone who habitually lies and cheats.
Pseudo_Lain@reddit
34 counts of fraud lmao
miketag8337@reddit
The fact that you believe half of that speaks to your intelligence. What does civilly liable for rape really mean? You cannot even tell me what felony he committed. Cheating on his wife? So does Harris sucking off a married man make her less intelligent?
naazzttyy@reddit
Good question - how many IQ points have you dropped?
miketag8337@reddit
You tell me! You’re the one who thinks infidelity precludes you from being a decent president.
You didn’t answer the rape question. You did not tell me what felony he was convicted for.
When Trump wins the appeal for the civil case against him for using his property as collateral, are you going to admit that the NY AG acted outside the scope of the law (as the judges have already stated) or stick with its all okay bc orange man bad?
naazzttyy@reddit
Bless your MAGA heart huckleberry, there’s no need to answer any of that for you.
The only question worth answering is if your IQ has dropped a corresponding number of points equal to the number of married men you’ve sucked off.
miketag8337@reddit

If you honestly think that Trump is smarter than Kamala then all that does is tell us how stupid you are.

Kamala thinks that we can just “build more houses” and “go after the price gougers.” Nothing pleasantly her intelligence like her own statements.
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit
Wait, are you saying that we can’t build any more houses? What? And yes, we can go after price gougers.

Hahaha okay mr few week old account. Say hi to your komrades after your shift at the misinformation factory.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
It really is too bad that no one trained Kamala Harris to be intelligent.
Teh_Crusader@reddit
She’s a California attorney, much more intelligent than you are.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
And she got that position by becoming a homewrecker. You really expect me or anyone else to think highly of her for starting her career off as someone else's side piece?
finger_foodie@reddit
Homewrecker? Willie Brown was separated from his wife for 10 YEARS before Kamala. Give it a rest.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
So that automatically makes deviant sexual behavior okay?
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit
Why do you care so much about what people do in their private lives?
gunmetal_silver@reddit
Because she is a public figure. Modeling such behavior for children is abhorrent. Mankind is not intrinsically good, mankind is intrinsically flawed, but can cultivate virtue if he chooses to, and such virtues must be properly modeled.
Additionally, public servants should not have private lives until such time as they are not in office.
And further, to address the (potential) argument that you are not referring to public figures, the private affects the public. If a sewage main opens up under a rug, eventually the grime will seep to the surface and ruin the rug. So it is with the social fabric.
finger_foodie@reddit
You are unhinged. “Public servants” can’t have “private lives” until they’re out of office? Are you high? Or did you just forget your meds today?
Also, do you live on an Amish farm or something? Someone having sex or engaging in sexual acts with another consenting adult is NOT being “sexually deviant.” You are weird.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
An individual is not the basic unit of the fabric of society, just like a proton, neutron, or electron is not the basic unit of an element. The basic unit of the fabric of society is the nuclear family. Kamala becoming Willie Brown's side piece is (despite his long-term separation from his wife at the time, he was still married) still engaging in the corruption and destruction of the basic unit of the social fabric, and by being a public figure she is putting that on display for everyone, including the most impressionable minds in our societies. That is the deviancy I was pointing to, you unthinking dolt.
Now, to the other point: Public servants need to be held accountable for their actions in office in order to prevent corruption. This is a basic bitch concept and you can't see the point? Have you never learned that power corrupts? I was told that in elementary school.
finger_foodie@reddit
You sound like a white Nationalist. Enjoy your day, weirdo.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
Why would you bring race into it? Nothing I have said thus far impinges on anyone's race.
Making a personal attack at someone like you just did is a sign of low intelligence.
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit
It’s your lack of intelligence that makes you sound like a white nationalist.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
You're lack of intelligence doesn't allow you to understand my arguments, so because you don't understand and you think you disagree, you denigrate me.
That is literally a sign of low intelligence. Look it up. People insecure about their intelligence insult people with higher intelligence than them instead of debating the merits of their arguments.
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit
Unfortunately for you I have actually had a legit IQ test administered by a doctor and I am in the top .01% of the world.
Also, two comments up you are insulting someone’s intelligence. Your lack of self awareness is just another sign of your low intelligence. You might want to take your own advice, master projector.
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit
Hahahahaha
Teh_Crusader@reddit
It’s sad you see an educated woman and assume she slept her way into passing the California BAR and receiving millions of votes. You are simply delirious and misogynistic. Not a valid criticism of Kamala whatsoever.
gunmetal_silver@reddit
I'm not talking about her passing the California BAR exam, I'm talking about her documented, scandalous affair with Democratic kingmaker Willie Brown when she was 29 and he was 60 and serving as speaker for the California Assembly.
Unbelievable that you are so uneducated about your "candidate".
Teh_Crusader@reddit
You are claiming she isn’t intelligent and still have not provided a single valid argument for that lol. Keep focusing on her personal relationships while Donald Trump imports younger wives from Eastern Europe lol
gunmetal_silver@reddit
Didn't Kim Kardashian pass that same exam? I wouldn't consider her intelligent either, only possessed of a low cunning. Much like Harris.
Also, if she's so intelligent, why can't she think of anything she would have done differently from Joe Biden during the last 4 years? Why were the large portion of her responses to Trump's factual accusations during their debate, "how dare?" Instead of factual refutations?
Yeah, I don't see Trump divorcing Melania any time soon, nice try though. If you just look at stereotypes, the Trump family does kind of look like that one.
BaddaBae31@reddit
One simple google search would tell you Kim did not pass the bar… she hasn’t even taken it. The baby bar, which took her multiple times to pass, is for first year law students. You can’t even do a little research…
gunmetal_silver@reddit
Oh was that what she passed? I had only heard she had passed an exam by an English teacher and was a lawyer. I didn't bother to follow up on hearing that because I don't associate myself however distantly with trash "celebrity" pornstars.
However none of that invalidates what I said about Kamala.
4578-@reddit
Now you have to explain why you think multi BILLIONAIRE Kim Kardashian isn’t intelligent?
Like… with actual sources this time please.
Cause one hand ya say a person can’t be a billionaire without being intelligent and on the other you’re saying billionaires aren’t intelligent because…. They’re women?
And don’t say because they have sex!! people celebrate Trump and he talks about his sexual exploits so openly.
Tex_Watson@reddit

Public_Bumblebee5110@reddit
In comparison to the people who think a president with dementia and a running mate who enforces the strictest laws on weed in Cali is acceptable? Kamala the district attorney of California. Biden the one who passed the crime bill. She just enforced maximum sentences on people who had a few pounds like they were going to fall out of a plane and kill some one. Lmao at least you are dedicated in having a catchy nickname for the opposition. Have a nice day 😃

Worried-Inevitable69@reddit
For the southern hospitality applies to everyone from here but it’s like respect you have to give respect to get respect. If someone treat you with hospitality and your you need to be respectful Why they are coming here has nothing to do with it being a red state They are coming hear buying up houses cost of living in California is a lot higher than Texas A 1000000 dollar house there is about a 300000 here. They also make a higher pay rate than Texas. Yes am a native Texan born and raised after the election It will be your tears kiddo not mine. If you think they’re mine you just mistaken them for sweat from hard work. If trump does win which I doubt. It just another4 years. What he does in office will affect gen z and future generations more than mine.

Harris cant even answer questions!! CBS has to edit and change her responses!! Not too intelligent to vote for that! Scary more like it.
Ok_Method_3346@reddit
Trump refuses to even attend an interview.. sounds more like hes the scared one here.
StrictAdvice161@reddit
Why should he? Totally biased moderators. Kamala refuses to have Republican moderators!!! Because they might ask her a real question. We know she can’t answer. She is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Ok_Method_3346@reddit
Kamala accepted a debate from FOX, did she not? She's also a very accomplished woman... SF district attorney and the attorney general of California. You can't get those titles by being stupid.
Kazaganthis@reddit
No but you can get them by giving sexual favors to Willie Brown though lmao.
Ok_Method_3346@reddit
right.. because she can somehow sleep with millions of people to convince them to vote for her? It's really telling that y'all can't accept that women can be intelligent.
Kazaganthis@reddit
It's really telling that you aren't smart enough to know she blew a married man for her first job which helped propell her where she is now, but by all means keep making up shit, ignoring reality, and showing your lack of critical thinking.
It's not like they even kept it a secret lmao it's not our fault your a low information voter.
finger_foodie@reddit
He was separated from his wife for 10 YEARS. Who gives a rats ass.
Kazaganthis@reddit
I like how you ignore how she got the job by sucking dick by the dude who was cheating on his wife. If youre still married youre still married and if youre boyfriend gives you a job for sucking dick it's.... well it's amazing study you people will defend when it's your team.
finger_foodie@reddit
First public office run in 2003. She wasn’t with him since the end of ‘95 or beginning of ‘96. READ. It’s fundamental.
https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/posts-mislead-about-harris-romance-with-willie-brown/
BUT BY ALL MEANS, KEEP MAKING SHIT UP, IGNORING REALITY, AND SHOWING YOUR ILLITERACY. Also, maybe read a bit about confirmation bias, you simp for the cheeto with bad makeup and a dirty diaper.
Kazaganthis@reddit
Imagine being so ignorant you think because some time went by he wouldn't do her favors because she used to blow him.i I'm not surprised you don't understand the concept of quid pro quo.
LOOK I CAN TYPE IN ANGRY CAPS TOO. No ones making shit up it's well reported and known you just can't stand it because of political tribalism. The irony of you claiming confirmation bias when youre sitting in your echo chamber refusing to accept reality because it hurts the last few brain cells you have as you try to pretend she's anything other than trash. She left people to rot in jail while having exculpatory evidence knowing they were innocent. She left Americans to die in Afghanistan, 13 Marines are dead, and our allies were abandoned. And she bragged about the exit and being the last one out of the room.
There's a giant list of why she's trash, but youre so obsessed with orange man bad its pathetic. I couldn't give two fucks about him this is about HER get over your obsession with cheeto.
finger_foodie@reddit
You should go back in your corner and sulk some more. Have a nice day, man baby.

So much misinformation. Please tell me what Kamala has done? Ever….. I will wait…..💀💀💀
Kazaganthis@reddit
Well she left Americans to die in Afghanistan along with our allies and 13 marines. Remember "she was the last one out of the room"
Oh and she also held exculpatory evidence until California courts forced her to release it thus exonerated people she knew were innocent she put in prison.

Kamala has done nothing since she wasn’t the president. Just like how Pence was useless (something we’ll both agree on for different reasons). Seriously this is stupid and when Kamala is running for a second term ya are gonna be the uneducated folk saying she has been president twice already. It’s ridiculous and you know it is.

He literally attacked our country with a hillbilly army and attempted a coup.
Nothing else matters.
therealbreather@reddit
Ooorrrr he said to go peacefully protest outside, not once said to break in, and when they did (including antifa “Trump supporters, as confirmed especially by that one dude who was arrested and found to have tens of thousands deposited into his bank account by MSM, I can send the report), he posted a video telling everyone to go home and denounced their actions, which was deleted by every platform it was posted to. Trump had 0 responsibility in the illegal activities, considering he never said to do them and when they were done he said to stop. But what do I know
HonorAbel11_11@reddit
You forgot to include it has been officially confirmed that FBI officers were included in the crowds and helped incite the ‘insurrection’. And Trumps request for the 10K National Guard.. which so many democrats openly deny never happened. But then…. https://cha.house.gov/2024/9/transcripts-show-president-trump-s-directives-to-pentagon-leadership-to-keep-january-6-safe-were-deliberately-ignored

THis is so disingenuous. After ranting and whipping people into an angry frenzy for an hour over lies about election fraud, saying "be peaceful" once does not negate that.
And you can't deny the fake elector scheme which a big part of the coup attempt.

HughJazz123@reddit
What intelligent policies does she have? It’s sad that she’s gonna giggle and word salad her way to getting so many votes. Just admit you’re voting for her because she seems “nice” and you don’t like Trump, because that’s at least rational albeit nonsensical.
DaredevilDLuffy@reddit
Have you listened to Trump? Fucking yeah I hate him, and he has some of the craziest word salads of all time. His policies ruined the economy and the one good thing he did, Operation Warp Speed, is something he can’t even take credit for because he’s spent so much of his time appeasing the stupidest people on the planet.
Kamala Harris has great policies, expanding the child tax credit, allowing the ACA to cover in home care, common sense gun control, etc. Trump’s inflationary tariffs would ruin this economy, his plan for the housing crisis is mass deportation, which is insane and fascistic, and he still can’t replace the ACA.
When I saw the two candidates debate, only one person went into an outburst and repeated a myth about how Haitians, who are here legally, are eating the cats and dogs of other citizens.

HughJazz123@reddit
Reddit is a liberal echo chamber. Literally go watch her CBS, Colbert and View interviews this week. Getting interviewed by fellow bleeding heart liberals and she can’t even help her case. Been stressing how she’s not Biden and has her own plans yet said she wouldn’t change a thing from past 4 years if she was in charge. Drinking a beer with Colbert to appear “down to earth” Offering glittering promises about decreasing inflation and prices on consumer goods but can’t describe the plan to do so with any detail. Tack on her recent flip flopping on numerous issues which is clearly just a ploy to appear more moderate.
Her whole angle is “I’m nice” and “im gonna make pretty sounding promises” but it’s straight fluff and it drives me nuts that people can’t see through the pandering purely because they’ve decided Trump is so bad. Cue the downvotes.
Cu77eR@reddit
Yeah the libs are fucking annoying and you're not wrong she's pandering, but most people are just holding their noses and going blue because Trump is that bad. Saying shit about being a dictator are just politically indefensible. Also flip flopped on winning or losing the 2020 election. This before you even get to the rest of the deluge of other baggage he has.
HughJazz123@reddit
If he was such an existential threat to democracy then why isn’t he still in power? Guy had 4 years to dismantle the constitution and appoint himself high chancellor but it didn’t happen.
Jan 6th was stupid but it has more to do with the mob and less with Trump. Nevermind that Trump asked Pelosi and the mayor of DC for a greatly increased police and national guard presence prior to that speech because he knew people would be heated yet they didn’t do shit about it.
effitalready@reddit
So, you're telling everyone you have no idea how our government works. Got it.
HughJazz123@reddit
Curious how you could extrapolate that from what I said. Liberals argument for every shortcoming of Biden/Harris is that it’s either a) the fault of the previous administration or b) because those damn republicans in Congress or the Supreme Court. You’re basically proving my point that the executive branch can’t just do whatever they want (and again there’s 4 years of Trumps presidency as historical evidence) yet somehow magically this time all the checks and balances are gonna fly out the window and he’s going to seize total control. Fear mongering crap because again Harris has no actual substance to vote for so the only angle is vilify the opponent
effitalready@reddit
Not once in your rambling retort did you explain why Trump couldn't accomplish those things. Stay on topic and try harder.
lagan_derelict@reddit
There are more "liberals" around you here in Dallas than you probably realize, and by "liberal" I mean moderate centrist Republicans. Trump is a bridge too far. By the way, I've seen Harris several times on TV lately and she's the kind of smart brunette this country needs STAT.
HughJazz123@reddit
I consider myself a moderate republican. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative. I don’t really give two shits what someone does with their body or who they are attracted to. I believe women should have access to abortions for medically viable reasons and not simply as an undo button for being irresponsible. in regards to this “prosperous” economy Biden and Harris have gifted us, give me a break. Gas, groceries, mortgage rates, etc are all totally out of control yet these clowns want me to believe that they’ve led us into some new echelon of prosperity because the S&P is up. Don’t pjss on my shoes and tell me it’s raining.
jlynn036@reddit
You're either for abortions or against them. There is absolutely NO middle ground or grey area. Period. Stop using your sinful moral compass as a rule for others and their own bodies.
Inflation is not the fault of Biden or his administration. It was a culmination of Trump and Biden and both their administration's mishandling of the pandemic and our economy via taxes and tax breaks, etc.
I didn't want to vote for Biden, but to ensure Trump was not put back in office, I was ready to throw the dude my vote. I'm, however, happily voting for Harris because I believe she is intelligent and deserves a chance to show us what she's made of. Trump already showed us his ass, I don't care to live under his thumb or bs ever the f again.
HughJazz123@reddit
Ah yes absolutism, the hallmark of tolerance. Rape, incest, severe fetal abnormalities and risk to mother’s life are all valid reasons. Getting knocked up from a one night stand and getting an abortion is just avoiding personal responsibility. If you’re going to have unprotected sex then be prepared to deal with the consequences. Much like if you take out student loans you should be prepared to pay them back. So many policies they have are about bailing out adults who can’t take responsibility for their own actions or choices
jlynn036@reddit
How are you going to prove a pregnancy is the result of rape? Filling a police report, the report resulting in charges, the charges resulting in conviction? Now what about the victims who can't even file a report, what about the reports that don't result in charges, what about the charges that don't result in convictions, what about the cases that are reduced to lesser offenses? That is why you can't put stipulations on abortions. Use of critical thinking on that one would have helped you a bit so that I didn't have to write out a paragraph explaining it to you, third grade style.
You're out here complaining about helping people with their overpriced and ridiculous student loans, but I notice not one single mention of the absolute abhorrent bail outs given to MILLION AND BILLIONAIRES for their bs reasons for their companies. How many of these millionaires took a hefty paycheck from their company in one hand and a nice bailout from the government in the other hand? Let's not shit on the middle or lower class to just keep the upper class above consequences.
Trump and his admin are a disgrace to the USA and would be an absolute danger to our country and its people. I will take Harris/Walz all damn day as an unknown risk over a very well-known documented risk like trump.
HughJazz123@reddit
You could tax billionaires into oblivion and it’s not gonna make up for the deficit our government has accrued. I have almost a quarter million in student debt but I took that on. If you’re an adult and can’t understand how compound interest works then I got nothing for you. My mortgage is pretty pricey, can Harris just make that go away too?
We’re never going to agree on this stuff so pointless to bicker back and forth. Just see where it shakes out in a month.
jlynn036@reddit
So because taxing the billionaires won't make up for the deficit, it's OK to continue to throw them bailouts and tax breaks while damming the lower/middle class to suffer more?
Good for you on your superior thought process of because I struggled and continue to struggle, everyone else should too. You sound like you'd be really popular at parties.
You conveniently skated right past the issue of abortions, I'm going to take that as you see exactly my point on why there can be no middle ground or grey area and has to be an either you're in support or not in support. I personally wouldn't get abortion but I'm so glad I had the option to make my own damn choice on my terms, and I'll be dammed if either of my daughters are not given the same option to make their own damn choice regardless of how they became pregnant. I hope that after all the talks over the years, my kids all grasp the importance of protection. I still don't want them being told by some geriatric God complex buffoon using their religious preferences to tell my daughters how to proceed forward if they're not in a position to do so and especially if they were put in that position against their will. That's why I will forever be in support of abortions being a decision left to the one pregnant.

Education ≠ Coercion
OftenAmiable@reddit
Indeed. They are in fact antithetical to one another.
Makes you wonder why one party wants to get rid of the Department of Education. The same party, I might add, that decided to deregulate the Texas public college system, sending tuition from around $3800 the year before deregulation to around $4850 the year after deregulation (an average 28% increase) and paving the way to today's $11,600 price tag.
Chemical-Singer-4655@reddit
Do you think kids growing up in California should have a curriculum drawn up by people in DC? How about in Montana? Texas? New York?
All very different places with different economic strongsuits. Education for people in Wisconsin should not be determined by a committee in DC, it should be decided by local/state governments to determine what is needed in those areas.
That's what removing the DOE would do. It brings it back down to the state level. How and why is that a bad thing?
Tormidal@reddit
That's why each state also has its own department of education and state university system lol.
Do you really think the federal DoE determine the curriculums for every state, every school, and every class - and tell states what they can and can't teach?
Chemical-Singer-4655@reddit
At what grade level did you learn how to balance a budget? Learn basic mechanical skills? Basic cooking skills? Any plumbing or general household knowledge? How to do taxes?
School prepares us to be obedient workers in an office environment. It does not teach us practical real-world skills such as those listed above. All those classes went away when the DoE was implemented.
I worked at banks and other financial roles for over 10 years. The number of people under the age of 40 who have no idea how finance works is TERRIFYING. But nearly everyone 40+ knows basic life skills because they were taught in school.
How many math formulas do you remember from math classes? How often do you use them in your daily life? Beyond the basics of how to read, basic math and science, and some shallow history, what do you remember from school? Probably not much that you use in your daily life, right?
Tormidal@reddit
That's a whole lot of deflection. Local schools have more flexibility than you realize, its down to students and parents choosing to coast, or otherwise not actually exploring their options.
The funniest thing about your whole comment, is the lack of wondering about the parents. Where are the parents in all this? Why aren't the parents involved enough in their kids schooling to realize that they're not learning these things, and stepping up in their local school systems to get classes added, or teaching their kids themselves? Plenty of schools offer all of what you mentioned and more, its up to people to choose to take them.
But for the fun of it:
9th grade in home economics
We had a full shop class that offered electrician and woodwork courses in my public high school. Other high schools in the district also offered architectural courses, automotive, HVAC courses, carpentry, plumbing courses, even agriculture and herd animal care. That being said, I declined those in order to take electives focused on my intended college selection. I instead learned basic plumbing and mechanical, and taxes at home.
A lot, because math forms the basis of algorithm development and statistics - both of which I use for my job on a regular basis. What exactly was going to be your point? "People don't use these, so why do we teach them?"
noahpipp@reddit
That would literally just lead to red states having an even worse education and blue states having a superior education. You want that? Why should there not be standard education throughout the country?
OftenAmiable@reddit
Well, for one thing, I grew up in Indiana and found that my education was equally applicable when I lived in Illinois, Ohio, California, and Texas.
Apparently you think that I should have just been taught about corn, basketball, and manufacturing, and when I moved to Texas I should have been at an economic and educational disadvantage because I hadn't been taught about cows, oil, football, or tech.
And never mind the poor child who moves to a different state and now is totally screwed because they were living in a state that decided algebra was stupid but now they're in a school system where an eleventh grader is required to study calculus.
And of course, "states rights" was the battle cry for those who wanted to keep Blacks as slaves.
There are already school systems that are trying to white-wash that fact from the history books. Your scheme would make that a whole lot easier.
Maybe not everything should be up to individual states.
Just sayin'.
BootseyChicken@reddit

I’m not voting for Trump (or Harris for that matter), but this is the problem, not the solution.
good-vibebrations@reddit
You reasoning being what?
Dommo1717@reddit
I think the “I’ll teach my kids what party is RIGHT!” is the same bullshit that creates the ideas in the original post. I think it’s absolutely absurd to think that a candidate is worthwhile based on their party. But I am so disenfranchised from American politics, maybe I don’t see the Forrest for the trees. Personally, they are all a bunch of fucking scum bags in my book…but I’m just some jack ass on Reddit so 🤷♂️
Jamuraan1@reddit
Democrats become Dems because of the values we attain and achieve OUTSIDE of politics. You know, like loving our neighbors, regardless of where they come from, how they look, or who they love.
No one thinks the Dem party is "right", but we all KNOW it's better than the GOP/MAGA insanity.
Dommo1717@reddit
No, I don’t think it’s better. Nor is GOP/MAGA. I have friends from both and they are equally perfectly fine people. I would go as far as to say it’s ridiculous to think that political party affiliation (not talking about openly supporting Nazis or something lol) will ever constitute your value as a person to me. I think that’s such a fucked up way to go about life. I am sure you will feel compelled to explain the error of my ways and how the big, bad Republicans want to destroy the world…please don’t waste your breath, I have already acknowledged I hate all parties equally. Lol.
Jamuraan1@reddit
MAGA is openly supporting Nazis, and if you don't see that, your head is in the sand. This isn't funny. You're obliviousness is literally how Germans allowed Hitler to rise to power, and all the evil and hate that came with it. Wake the fuck up. Study history.
Dommo1717@reddit
Jesus, you are maybe missing the point I was making. Dude, I’m Jewish, I formally acknowledge I don’t support Nazis lol. Chill bro. Look past the “he disagreed with my political party”, I’m STILL talking about something else.
Jamuraan1@reddit
I am not a Democrat, so you're not "disagreeing with my political party" - you're just giving tolerance to the intolerant, which is equally bad. Your words and beliefs are PART of the problem.
Dommo1717@reddit
Ok buddy lol. You want me to be mad at MAGA? Sure. The point you are trying to make, I can agree with. And also, there are equally as worthless Democrats. So fuck that whole party too.
Jamuraan1@reddit
Fuck the Democrats, as well. But it's not an equivalent amount of hate.
Dommo1717@reddit
My issue with (either party)) is that people have lowered their expectations to the point that “I dislike A” equals “I like B”. That is not accurate.
Jamuraan1@reddit
You can dislike the Dems, but the MAGA republicans need to be hated, in the same exact fashion they hate others. It's only fair.
Dommo1717@reddit
But so do them Dems in my mind.
Jamuraan1@reddit
Who do the Democrats hate?
Dommo1717@reddit
Well I would suspect all things MAGA/Republicans.
I meant I think the Dems deserve to be hated too lol.
Jamuraan1@reddit
MAGA hates everyone that is non-white, non-christian, and non-MAGA.
Jamuraan1@reddit
What should be hated about the Democratic party?
Dommo1717@reddit
I go back and forth these days, but I don’t COMPLETELY disagree with you lol.
Jamuraan1@reddit
You're taking the position of "fine people on both sides" - enjoy sitting on the fence. And I am saying- MAGA is the new Nazi party. Full stop.
Study history; or, take your uninformed opinion, and stow it.
Dommo1717@reddit
Fine people? I’m not following.
I’ve also freely acknowledged I despise the current iteration of government in its entirety, and would much prefer legitimate anarchy. Not sure how much less “on the fence” I can be.
You seem to be getting incredibly worked up. My original takeaway was actually that maybe we can agree to disagree..so good luck bro.
Jamuraan1@reddit
We can only agree to disagree when both sides have your best intentions at heart. Currently, we don't have that. Therefore, your opinion is incredibly dangerous.
Dommo1717@reddit
Genuine question, NOT simply to become argumentative …
What about my opinion is “dangerous”? That I think people should allow other people to think for themselves? That I am just fine with disagreeing with you while not hating you?? Or is it simply that I don’t agree with you?
Jamuraan1@reddit
It's dangerous that you don't believe the MAGA Republicans to be Neo-Nazis. This is exactly how Germany allowed Hitler to rise to power. The vast majority of Germans simply did not realize the extent of evil before them. It is INSANELY dangerous to the future of this country to not only not acknowledge this openly, but you seem to be quietly sweeping this under the rug, instead of addressing the problem.
This is literally not about me whatsoever.
Candid-Tomorrow-3231@reddit
The thing is most of us are not beholden to the Democratic or any party. When dems turn out to be corrupt we toss them out rather than circling the wagons around Dear Leader. Just because we are voting for them doesn’t mean we are monolithic.
Sounds like you’re operating on assumptions that sound a lot like how MAGAs think. Coincidence?
Dommo1717@reddit
Lol. I sound “MAGA”? Bro, I want full on Anarchy lol. I hate the GOP every bit as much as the rest of the choices out there lmao.
With that said…if the whole “party lines” thing doesn’t apply to you, then neither do my opinions. I am a HUGE proponent that you and I are allowed to disagree, and we don’t have to hate each other for it. Vote for whoever you want, even if I think they are worthless. That still doesn’t inherently effect my view of your worth. In fact, I wouldn’t have it any other way (in that we are allowed to disagree, openly even). What bothers the fuck out of me is how it has turned into “I’m right, you’re wrong”, and no one listens. I’m probably making it worse in this fairly isolated example as I understand half the things I said here are just riling people up. But I don’t think that anything I said SHOULD rile you up. You could tell me you disagree with literally everything I believe…it still doesn’t make me more right or you more wrong.
But scroll back a bit. What did I say that somehow offended folks? Lol. That I didn’t believe convincing your kids only one party was possibly worth voting for in their lifetime was a shitty way to go about it?? Lmao. I’m advocating not for the dreaded MAGA, it rather to let kids think for their fucking selves. Politics and religion…I tried to expose my children (now adults) to as many versions of both as I could, so they could make an I forward decision.
This is what makes me sound coincidentally “MAGA”? Oh get fucked with that. I’m wayyyyy too poor for those bitches to want me to join their party lmao. And I simply don’t care about other peoples choices that don’t effect me enough to join the left it seems lol.
badphish@reddit
Get back in the box!
Round-Dragonfly6136@reddit
If you don't vote, you don't have a voice. Period. No politician is going to care about your opinions if they don't get a vote out of it. If you're in a demographic that doesn't vote, they will continue to ignore that demographics needs and concerns. Your vote is where your power lays. No vote, no power.
Also, there's more than just Presidents on the ticket. We're voting on state and local elections, too. And not just who's going into what office, but also on state and local provisions. Choosing not to vote is unwise and it shows.
Dommo1717@reddit
You’re missing my point.
Now I am jaded in as much as I don’t believe that they care about my voice if I DID vote…but I’m not complaining about any or even all of the politicians here. I’m complaining that this trend of “my side HAS TO win!!!”, and even passing that on to one’s children is absolutely the wrong answer TO ME. I fully encourage my children to think for themselves. I don’t want to “raise a (fill in the blank party)”.
Round-Dragonfly6136@reddit
You didn't say or imply any of that. You only said you weren't voting. I can't see your point when you don't actually say it.
Dommo1717@reddit
My point, as I said originally was that the sort of thinking in both the OPs pic, as well as the post I replied to, is what I believe to be the problem. Or at least a problem. Not sure how that was quite so hard to grasp (not that you need to agree with it, but it really sounds like you just want to be argumentative. Such is life I suppose)
Round-Dragonfly6136@reddit
I'm not tryong to be argumentative for argument's sake. My first reply was how out of unaffective your plan not to vite (your actual comment) is. Also, your point is clear to you because it's in your head. The post is calling out a specific politician's action, and the comment that you replied to said that their children are voting for Democrats because of how they raised them. Neither covers the "choose MY side/only MY side is right" narrative you're trying to claim is your point. So it's easy to grasp now that you actually said it, while it's quite the extrapolation from your original comment.
Dommo1717@reddit
That’s fair, and I freely admit things commonly make WAYYYY more sense in my head than out of my mouth lol.
Round-Dragonfly6136@reddit
Happens to the best of us.
Dommo1717@reddit
To actually (attempt to, anyways) address some of your comment…
So I admit I am well into “jaded” with regards to politics as a whole, and that that pov hugely affects most of my relevant opinions. In this case, I don’t actually disagree with any of the actual opinions about one side or the other. Instead, the bigger idea that one side is inherently “right” because the person views the other side as inherently “wrong”. Don’t agree with GOP? Well then by default the democrats are somehow good or right. Or vice versa. Don’t like those dum liberals? Well then Trump god is somehow good or right. Maybe my point of view is totally incorrect, but it sure seems that a lot of people have digressed to this lowest common denominator as far as having the right to make a choice about their political views. But instead, because I don’t agree with any of the applicable choices, I’m the problem because I don’t vote. Well, ok then. I’ll just sit here minding my damn business, still perfectly ok with my day to day life regardless of who gets elected or how much I disapprove of them.
Xyllus@reddit
nah, not voting is the problem
Dommo1717@reddit
That’s fair. I think maybe there are bigger issues, but I don’t disagree. Still not gonna vote.
just_deckey@reddit
so you just like to complain. are you a masochist?
Dommo1717@reddit
Lol. I don’t actually spend much time complaining about it. I just find it funny how “wrong” Reddit finds my views, when I am actively preaching you can believe whatever you like, I don’t even want a say in what YOU believe lol.
I just think the closed mindedness is stupid. I know perfectly worthwhile democrats, republicans, you name it. I also know complete pieces of shit from each party. The difference, to me anyways is I believe they would still be a piece of shit if they didn’t vote for that party.
Xyllus@reddit
Sure there are bigger issues. It's just, in my mind, if one doesnt vote you shouldn't have a voice in a political discussion because one doesn't even so the minimum personally
Dommo1717@reddit
I suppose that’s actually a fairly valid opinion. I don’t know if you see the separation, I don’t complain about politician xyz once they are in office for that reason. I am not so much arguing politics, rather the bigger issues with, in my mind, how divided we have become and continue to become more so.
Also, it’s Reddit, so people (myself included) will just say the first things that comes to mind 🤷♂️
Xyllus@reddit
Yeah and for the record I didn't downvote you lol
Dommo1717@reddit
Lol. I think that parts funny. And, sorta the issue I was talking about.
That’ll teach me!! Lll.
GambesonKing@reddit
It's better to just accept that there are different ways to view the world and there is often never truly a "right" answer. There is no value to lobbing insults back and forth.
Red_RingRico@reddit
I agree. In this case, not even a little bit. Voting for the felon- who already tried to overthrow the government once, who has admitted that his plan is to fire thousands of federal workers and put in his loyalists, who wants to abolish the EPA, the department of education, and the FBI, who has already stacked the Supreme Court with his cronies who have wrecked havoc on people’s rights, and will install judges even more extreme if he wins- is nothing short of idiotic.

So your source is a 1950s MTG?

Christo-fasist ideas..... so Abraham Lincoln being a republican and putting into the constitution the 13,14 and 15th amendments is extremist and Christo-fasist.... what about my body my choice? The same applies for vaccination too.....

Define Communism real fast. Like the actual definition. Hint: It is not "a person who doesn't blindly agree with me and my decades outdated ideas"
CalamityLeo@reddit
I lived communism, it where you cant have a political opinion and you don't own anything, where if you say anything negative about the system you dissappear like my brother Ignacio. Where people and neighbors turn you in because they cant feed thier families to the government.
Where you are surrounded by death and disappear the next day and you have to escape because they are finding dicenters.
You have misguided ideals, you dont know how good you have it.
BootseyChicken@reddit
You going to define Communism or are you just going to keep repeating far-right anecdotes like you've been trained to do? Go ahead. Waiting
CalamityLeo@reddit
Dios mio, mi hermano Ignacio que descanse en paz, did you read what i said before?
BootseyChicken@reddit
Problem being is that what you are describing is what happening under a dictator, a tyrant, a king, etc etc. You have been trained, however, to label all of those things as "communist" or "socialist" or "woke" as if any of those things are even in the same boat, much less mean the same thing. You are sat here calling people NPC all the while anyone reading can see that you have no idea what you're talking about. An anecdote does not change the definition of a word, no matter how much your feelings want it to
CalamityLeo@reddit
He's not a dictator, tyrant or king, he is a communist leader, just like china.
And emotions? I play games and my friends play games too, its how i learned English, there are npcs in both sides left or right. I have seen both.
Blind loyalty is bad.

Brother, you are still sat here pointing the finger at everyone else when you clearly have no clue. Thay is the issue right now lol.
Blind loyalty? Again with the projection lmao
CalamityLeo@reddit
You are pointing the fingers at, Christans, Republicans ect..... as negative yet they legally stopex slavery here first and banned it, while the world acted the same.
You insult my religion, yet you think you are good You insult me learning your language You insult the memory of my brother as fake talking points You insult the ground of your ancestors
Yet you say you know everything.
I will just block you i will pray for you.

"Communism is an economic ideology that advocates for a classless society in which all property and wealth are communally owned instead of being owned by individuals."
There, I'll just do it for you. What part of its definition falls in line with your stories about where you supposedly grew up (this is the internet and you ARE sat here rattling off far-right talking points, so forgive me for being skeptical)? Or have you simply been mislead / misinformed / lied to about what it is your entire life?

BootseyChicken@reddit
Also should point out the broken spelling and the fact that you spout the exact same crap everywhere as all the other Russian bots do. What's the weather like out there right now? Putin have his fist directly up your ass as we speak?
CalamityLeo@reddit
Lol "broken spelling" at least I dont have a broken mind, sure I might have some spelling errors, but you understood. Plus I do rely on word spelling checks since English is not my first language, I have seen communism, and you are acting like it before you notice what you are supporting.
If you are attacking my spelling, it just goes to show you are a person without substance that you rely on being word.exe and I am pretty sure no one cares since [ we are not in English school and you are not my Teacher, also someone professional to use word.exe for my spelling and grammar checks], than attacking my points.
BootseyChicken@reddit
"I have seen communism"
Still talks about communism as if it is a category of person rather than an economic platform. You people lie so damn easily lol

Can anyone say one thing about Harris that is a positive based any of her time in office (DA, Attorney General, Senator, or as VP). Just curious why you like her besides the fact that she is not Trump.
hibernate2020@reddit
She's not a Nazi.
Appathesamurai@reddit
I’m a pro life Catholic
I’m voting Harris
That should tell you everything you need to know about Trump
MisterSumone@reddit
Vote for whoever you want. That's your right and you should absolutely take advantage of it.
But why lie? To get some fake internet validation?
Appathesamurai@reddit
Who is lying?
MisterSumone@reddit
You. Someone that would willingly identify themselves as part of the pro life movement and a practicing catholic wouldn't be able to morally align themselves, in even the slightest way, with Harris.
Trumps a half brained baboon with two left hands but he still did more for your supposed "pro-life" agenda than any president in modern history.
I'm personally ambivalent about abortion. Definitely doesn't make the list for policy positions that are important to me.. But you've clearly stated that abortion is against your view and you think it's murder, yet you say you would vote for the party that wants to "undo all the progress " your little evangelical movement has made?.
If anyone believes you for half a second they should not be on the internet because they'll obviously believe anything
Appathesamurai@reddit
I understand where you’re coming from, but hear me out for a moment
Abortion is generally immoral, and should be avoided in 99% of circumstances
The Supreme Court is republican heavy and would never agree on any issue that would reverse the current ruling on abortion and states rights
The president doesn’t have authority to make changes to law like abortion, only to veto or sign bills or wait for court rulings
Trump is a danger to democracy, and the threat he poses is higher than one can possibly imagine
All of this adds up to mean- pro choice sentiments won’t result in any changes in the law, Trump is insane and shouldn’t ever be given power over anything again, and therefore it’s morally acceptable to be pro life and vote for Harris
Also, the Catholic Church and Pope have both admitted that one doesn’t have to vote for a pro life candidate in all circumstances to be “pro life” themselves a
MisterSumone@reddit
Trump, and the Republicans are a danger to democracy? Aren't they the party that actually had an open primary process? Because I could've sworn that kamala harris didn't receive a single primary vote from a single citizen in any state this democrat primary cycle? And didn't the dems fight and sue to keep RFK, Jill Stein, and brother Cornell West off ballots around the nation?
Well they changed their mind on rfk once he wanted to withdraw his name from ballots after tossing in with Trump.
Funny how that works. Almost like they don't want you to have choice. Ya know. Democracy?
Appathesamurai@reddit
When LBJ took office, do you think the democrats rigged the system? Or is it just how the system works that vice president is next in line in case of death, resignation, etc. also Biden is simply not running again, and most Dems agreed Kamala was next in line- but technically anyone could run against her if they wanted, but most Dems agree it’s more important to back a single candidate and defeat Trump.
Yea buddy you’re gonna need to share some actual sources on those claims you’re making. They fought to keep people off the ballots? Funny, It seems to be the Republicans, scared of zombies voting or something, that keep implementing laws to make it incredibly difficult to vote, whether that be through removing mail in ballots, limiting the early voting time window, decreasing the number of drop boxes etc.
I can’t take you seriously if you truly believe the right hasn’t completely lost their mind under Trump. The man could tell you to go to the capital right now and you’d do it
Oh wait

Now here's where they started fighting to keep him ON ballots when he endorsed Trump and was pulling his name off States ballots. Why would they do this now? All of a sudden fans of democracy? Or did they just want to hurt their main competitor? Use your brain.
https://www.johnlocke.org/dems-now-want-rfks-name-to-remain-on-states-ballots/
You keep going back to pretending I support Trump.
And what was that brain-dead question/accusation about lbj? Yeah buddy I believe they illegally put the vice president in when the president was killed. Yup. That's what I believe 🙄😂
You are what you hate, only on the opposite side of the fence. It's hilarious. It's just sad you're so unaware of your empty talking points and complete lack of information. You really didn't know they fought to keep multiple candidates off the ballots?
There's no way you didn't know they didn't hold an open primary when the majority of registered dems were calling for an open primary.
The Republicans are garbage too in so many ways, but in this cycle? They're the only party of the duopoly to actually carry out our democratic norms and run a primary of potential nominees
Appathesamurai@reddit
“The latest legal challenge against Kennedy comes from election lawyer Scott Salmon, a Democrat not affiliated with any outside group, who wants to keep Kennedy off the New Jersey ballot under the state’s “sore loser law,” which prohibits candidates from mounting an independent run after a failed bid for a major party nomination. The statute says that among those banned would be candidates who have been “a member of a political party at any time after the immediately preceding primary election for the general election,” or who “unsuccessfully sought the nomination of a political party to such position in the primary election.”
Kennedy decided to run as an independent last October, dropping his Democratic primary bid.”
In the articles you shared. These specific states have laws on the books which literally bar former republican or democratic candidates who failed their primary nomination bids and then immediately jumped to independent ticket. It’s also important to note that republicans were trying to get Harris removed from South Dakota for dubious reasons like “hasn’t been the nominee for longer than x months” or some bs I have to find the exact article but feel free to google it yourself too and save time
MisterSumone@reddit
I'll wait on your reply to this one. Ought to be good. Or are CNN and CBS not good enough sources?
MisterSumone@reddit
And you comparing the swearing in of LBJ after the assassination of the sitting president to - Biden, who got the primary votes from actual citizens of the states, being forced to step down at the END of his term and his vp being anointed because she (and this is from her staffers) was gonna make such a stink about it if they passed over her.... the fact you think those situations are remotely similar tells me you aren't able to make an educated vote based upon fact instead of emotions
MisterSumone@reddit
Actually, the president can make all abortions available at all military bases, solely on their authority.
Also, if harris wins, dems will likely pick up seats in house and even flipping 1 or 2 senate seats would be a disaster for your single voting issue.
They could add justices to the supreme court. It hasn't always been 9 and there's nothing that says there can't be more.
I think you must be upset and not thinking clearly to go from the guy that got the evangelicals what they've dreamt of for decades to the exact opposite, a California liberal, just because they're being politically savvy and meeting Americans where most Americans are.
All the referendums and state votes on abortion access, even in states like Kansas, when left to the people of that state they say they want abortion.
This is politics.
But I know the pro life wing is accustomed to being catered to by republican lawmakers. Suck it up buttercup. Now you know how almost every other special interest group feels when they are eventually sold out
Appathesamurai@reddit
So to be clear, you’re totally fine with a want to be authoritarian who denies election results and wants to imprison his political opponents?
MisterSumone@reddit
Nice straw man, please show me where I said anything about supporting Trump? I've voted in presidential races twice in my life ('08 & '20), and neither were republican. Obama in 08 and, in 2020, the 1 out of the 3 major candidates not accused of SA. I'll give you a hint, it was a woman.
Appathesamurai@reddit
I mean that’s great and all, but there are two choices in this election. If you aren’t voting for Harris, you’re effectively voting for Trump. Same goes for the other way around too. Saying “I don’t support Trump!” Is meaningless when you don’t have the backbone to support one candidate over the other especially in an election like this one where the choice is a female with a funny laugh and some (though not many) far left economic views, and the other is a man who literally denies election results and has been recorded saying over and over again that he’d try to imprison his political opponents on day one.
Like this isn’t exactly a difficult choice
MisterSumone@reddit
There's more than 2 choices in every election. 3 parties have 50 state ballot access. Green has around 21 this year i think.
Regardless, just because I don't like Trump doesn't mean I can in good conscious cast a vote to say THAT lady should be president.
RealNotAIReally@reddit
I'm a conservative and have been voting a mostly democratic ticket since Trump was elected to represent my party. I can't believe i have to do this to ensure our Republic stands.
juslqqking@reddit
If tRump was still a Democrat, I would definitely vote Republican. I didn’t like him as a Democrat as I thought he was a whiney, pompous, arrogant asshole. And he has done nothing to change my mind.
miketag8337@reddit
The problem is, that Whiney, populous, arrogant asshole was a surprisingly effective president who kept us out of war. He was so bad that Biden kept his tariffs in place and recently implemented his policy on the border (remember Trump was racist for doing it?) once it became apparent that the border would be a major issue.
6dirt6cult6@reddit
Remember how he allowed the government to control women’s bodies, tried to steal an election and championed a mob to stop the certification? Remember that?
MrMopar345@reddit
Why do so many people misunderstand how Roe V Wade worked.... He took power AWAY from the federal government and gave it over to the states to make their own decision on the matter. When states are allowed to make decisions like this, it both ensures that the needs of the people in that particular area are met better than having some blanket law across the entire US as well as gives we the people options. You want an abortion, go the California, you'll probably fit in better. You against it? Move to Texas. Everyone has a city or state that fits their needs and lifestyle. I couldnt care less about laws in another state. Do as you please over there. It don't matter if you like him or hate him, most ppl can agree that we need to limit the federal government as much as possible and keep them in check. People over party ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
rjenyawd@reddit
Cool. Do this with healthcare, education, religion, race, and taxes. You know what? Just get rid of the federal government all together. We don't need that "United" bullshite. Every state should be it's own country. Why do we even have a national "President" when all it does is give power to our federal overlords? Such a great idea. Bigly brained.
6dirt6cult6@reddit
Take it even further, eliminate the states, eliminate the counties, eliminate the cities. Every person is their own president! Now everyone is as free as they want to be, I’m sure it will be great!
6dirt6cult6@reddit
Why do you think that means I don’t understand what it is. Women in every state, in every country around the entire world should have absolute authority over their body. I don’t give a shit what some small minded, magic man worshiping anyone says anywhere. It’s not about fear of a federal government exerting the crushing power of freedom and equality over women. JFC get a clue.

It is 4 years later and you still haven’t figured out that you fell for the propaganda and panic.
ItsHardtimes1979@reddit
I don’t get this stance. I am not a republican or a democrat, or any other. I am an American who wants the most qualified people possible to be elected to the positions they are most qualified to fill. No matter what race, background, personality, religious beliefs, weather I like them or not ect. The most qualified people period. So you are saying If you don’t like someone but they are the most qualified to fill the position. you are going to vote for the other much less qualified, person that could potentially greatly harm our country. Why vote at all? To me it seems like a vote to harm your fellow Americans if you do that. Harm everyone just because you don’t like someone, doesn’t make sense to me…
ItsHardtimes1979@reddit
Also Trump has arguably the smartest man on the planet endorsing him and is going to have a seat in his administration if Trump is elected. That to me says a lot. Watch all of Trumps interviews from late 80’s to present. The man has said the same things over and over, and never changed his beliefs. That is a person who is real! Everyone who say they hate him now were asking him to run for president back then. He didn’t want to unless he thought he had to to save our country.
rjenyawd@reddit
The smartest man on the planet? Who?

ShadowAMS@reddit
I miss having polite political debates with people that disagree with me on things. You seem the type that would absolutely politely debate. Since Obama's second term it has become extremely tribalistic in terms of politics. It got worse in 2016 and after 2020 it's almost impossible to have that conversation.
RealNotAIReally@reddit
According to my former party, I'm a RINO. I can only hope that people like Liz Cheney start another party to compete with the MAGA GOP. Part of my movement is also the extreme anti abortion stance. Women are dying or at risk of serious complications, and the GOP doesn't care at all. Their black and white thinking is terrifying.
miketag8337@reddit
Except Trump has said that abortion in case of rape, incest, and harm to the mother is perfectly fine. It is also a states rights issue but I guess it is easier to blame orange man than your neighbors.
MrMopar345@reddit
I would like to add that technically speaking, once the woman's life is in danger, it's no longer considered an "abortion" but rather a life saving procedure. That being said, aborting a baby because of danger to the mother was never illegal. All those ads on TV about Trump not caring about these women's lives are all propaganda... There's a difference. Aborting a baby just because you don't want it is considered an "abortion" and illegal in SOME states who decided to ban it. Trump basically said it's not the federal government's business or place and took away their power to make it legal or illegal. It's the states choice and either way it goes, This is literally the opposite of tyranny.
rjenyawd@reddit
No. Trump took the decision out of women's hands by allowing it to be made illegal. Roe vs. Wade prevented States from overstepping their bounds. Now, states can overwrite other states rights according to residency. Now, if a woman needs a life-saving procedure, she has to uproot her entire life and monetarily be able to afford to move to another state and gain residency there. Thats not how the UNITED States is supposed to work.
miketag8337@reddit
You don’t have to uproot your life, you just have to travel to another state. No state is overwriting the rights of another state. Roe v. Wade was a poorly written decision that protected the right to an abortion federally. Again, if you live in a state that voted to not allow abortions that is on you. I choose to live in a state that opposes my view on abortion bc I like the state. It is your choice, not some orange man’s.
rjenyawd@reddit
Incorrect. Texas, Alabama, and many other states already have laws on the board now for banning travel to other states for abortion access. It is illegal for a Texas resident to travel, or aid someone else in travel to a different state for abortion access.
If you need an abortion, regardless of safety or medical urgency, you can not be a texas resident. And that is DIRECTLY a result of Trump abolishing federal Roe vs Wade protections.
miketag8337@reddit
That is complete BS. There are no state laws in Texas banning out of state travel for an abortion. Once again, you buy the BS propaganda. If they ever put laws like that on the books, they would be struck down bc they’re unconstitutional. Use your brain and stop trusting the propaganda.
rjenyawd@reddit
I suggest you do more research on Ken Paxton and travel bans. And no. Its not unconstitutional. Its a loophole that the supreme courts turn a blind eye to. And its much easier exploited now that the federal protections against it have been abolished.
miketag8337@reddit
I suggest you actually look at the penal code. Paxton talking about stuff does not = law in place. Banning travel between states (which would be impossible to enforce anyways) would not hold up on appeal. AGAIN, stop being such an easy mark for propaganda!
rjenyawd@reddit
Sure: Attorney General Paxton demanding out of state medical records for women suspected of traveling across state lines to get an abortion probably has nothing to do with the government prosecuting women for crossing state lines to have an abortion. Extraterritoriality policies are just a myth. They also never come up in gender affirming care bans or marijuana legality. Im glad your bigly brain is here to clear up the facts.
miketag8337@reddit
Is it in the penal code or not? An idiot AG filing a suit that he will lose so he can score political points IS NOT LAW. It does not take a “bigly brain” to recognize when a political party is attempting to foment panic in order to gain votes.
rjenyawd@reddit
You mean like what the Trump Party is doing with trans people and abortion access?
miketag8337@reddit
Is it a law or not?
rjenyawd@reddit
It doesn't matter if it's still being enacted anyway. 🙃
miketag8337@reddit

No. You should be afraid because the idiot is doing it regardless if it's a law or not.

"orange man" is the one who stupidly put the decision in your stupid neighbor's hands instead of just amending the laws that were already in place.
miketag8337@reddit
So you think your opinion should be the law instead of the will of the people? Sounds rather tyrannical
rjenyawd@reddit
The "will of the people" was 72% in favor of leaving Roe vs. Wade the exact same way it had been for 50+ years. (Thats what actual "conservative" politics are, btw). It was fine exactly how it was.
The only people who complained about it were extreme religious wackjobs who wanted total bans. And Trump played into them, because they are his most vocal (and easiest) targets. And now its hilarious to watch him try to crawfish and backtrack himself out of it and point fingers at the states.
miketag8337@reddit
Trump is a moderate who gives no F’s about abortion. That is reality.
I guess 72% of the people needs to make it to the polls in all the states so this can be fixed right? Do 72% of the states allow abortion? Why don’t the pro choice people go to the polls?
rjenyawd@reddit
Trump is not a moderate or a conservative. He's a radical. Every single one of his campaign hooks have been about change and uprooting the system. "Drain the Swamp", remember? His most vocal fanbase is religious fanatics, alt-right militia groups, and minority-fearing conspiracy theorists. And he caters to them because they are easily grifted. The majority of Republicans are only voting for him because he's wearing a red tie and they've been conditioned to believe that:
RedTie = "Makes you Rich" BlueTie = "Minorities and taxes"
And in case you missed it, pro-choice people DID go to the polls. Trump lost the 2020 election, and they put an actual moderate, nothing!burger president in his place.
miketag8337@reddit
They elected a dementia addled moron bc they were convinced despite all the evidence to the contrary, the country was in a bad place. Now we are much worse off. Those fanatics, militia, racists (who btw voted for Biden bc they were not happy with Trump not pushing their agenda) make up less than 1% of America. You are a product of all the fear mongering and propaganda coming from the left. Look at what Trump actually did while in office. Why were we better off 4 years ago than we are now?
They obviously did not go to the polls or none of the states would have laws against abortions.
Trump is a moderate that the media has made you fear despite his actions proving otherwise.
rjenyawd@reddit
Trump is an 80 year old grifter who suggested drinking bleach might cure covid and surrounds himself with idiots who think the Democrats summon hurricanes.
We are where we are right now because of a viral pandemic that effected the global economy (which Trump bungled in the States) and because "fiscal" Republicans still believe the trickle-down economics lie, and have let mega corporations monopolize our economy unchecked. Look at the money. America isn't struggling. The middle and working class are. The rich are thriving. Largely due to the billions of dollars worth of bailouts Trump gave them that put the rest of us further into the national debt.
Trump is a serial grifter and legacy bankruptcy artist who's entire being revolves around riling people up with empty promises, fear porn, and entertainingly contrarian rhetoric. The most effective thing he's done is convince a self-imposed disenfranchised populace that he's their savior.
miketag8337@reddit
So will you admit that the Democrats attempted to weaponize the pandemic in order to use mail in ballots?
Do you think Democrat states (particularly Democrat cities) insisting on prolonged lockdowns negatively influenced the mental health of American citizens?
Let’s say Trump is the worst person ever, the question still remains why was the country in a much better place while he was in office? Why was unemployment down? Why was inflation down? If he’s such a racist, why was unemployment for minorities down? Why were we not involved in wars?
It is entertaining to see Democrats who advocated for shutting the world down and to keep it shut down forever, blaming all of the negative issues on the shutdowns.
rjenyawd@reddit
No. Because they didn't. You're the one politicizing the pandemic.
And the country was in a much better place before the pandemic (for Trump's first two years in office) because he wasn't doing anything, and he let the previous administration's upswing continue on trend. If he HAD done even half of the things he said he was going to do (abolish helathcare, build a trillion dollar boarder wall, pull us out of our global alliances, etc...) we would be SEVERELY worse than we are now.
Our economic problems aren't even related to unemployment. Again, our inflation issues are a direct result of corporate greed and GLOBAL fallout from the pandemic that had nothing to do with what restaurant Karen was forced to wear a mask in.
miketag8337@reddit
So, why did the corporations all of a sudden become greedy under Biden/Harris? Why weren’t they gouging prices on food while Trump was in office?
Why have the profits of the all the food stores remained constant if they’re gouging?
rjenyawd@reddit
Prices haven't remained constant. They're much higher than they were before, thats what inflation is.
And they DID start gouging prices during Trump's presidency. They just had Covid as a scapegoat to "justify" it back then. But the US doesn't have a food shortage now. We don't have a lack of supply and the housing crisis isn't because there aren't enough houses. It's greed and corruption, and the people who allow it to continue.
miketag8337@reddit
So the price of gas under Biden is a dollar more than it was under Trump bc oil companies gouged under Trump (compare prices before covid)?
If the food stores are gouging, why aren’t their PROFITS increasing?
How do you literally not understand economics? Why didn’t all these greedy corporations gouge before the pandemic? Why did (according to you) they become greedy during the end of the Trump presidency and just keep it up?
rjenyawd@reddit
"Food stores" have reported record-breaking profits and increased CEO pay.
And the gas prices under Trump's administration were not at $1.98 a gallon. (One dollar cheaper than where its currently sitting between $2.98 and $3.15 in my state.) gas prices have stayed pretty stagnant and consistent for the past 15 years, spiking mostly after the BP oil spill (where it raised up to being between $5 and $6 a gallon, and again during the pandemic where it jumped up to about $4. Gas hasn't been consistently under $2 a gallon since the 90's.
How are YOU still stuck on the lies of Reagan-era trickle-down, when it's been gradually digging the country deeper into a hole for the past 40 years?
miketag8337@reddit
Average gallon of gas in America before the pandemic was $2.68 per gallon. Average gallon of gas today is over $3.20. It was $5 per gallon in 2022 (Trump predicted this would happen under Biden). Again, why didn’t they get greedy and gouge under Trump?
Profit margin for Kroger was 1.85% before the pandemic and 1.44% last year. For Walmart the profit on food went from 1.97% before the pandemic to 1.6% last year. They’re literally making less money while you’re claiming they are gouging and their greed is causing prices to go up. So we are all spending more on food while the “greedy” corporations are making less. Are you starting to figure it out yet?
Familiar-Sock-1157@reddit
I just wanted to say that I think the Cheney's could be dangerous if involved in any national security decisions, and I'm a little concerned about the current administration also. I'm not sure if it's true; but I heard that while vice president , that Dick Cheney facilitated the war in Iraq so that he could reap profits from Haliburton and defense contractors. As an aside, I read that Julian assange was jailed because he published some emails showing how Hillary Clinton planned to sell the war in Iraq, to the American people as a humanitarian cause . Ever since then, I've not trusted Cheney. I voted for Obama twice, but after he did all those missile strikes on those poor people in Syria back in 2015, it really Startled me because I also heard he targeted American citizens for drone strikes, without getting authorization. I also didn't think it was a good idea for President Biden to telegraph the impending sabotage of the NordStream 2 pipeline. It just seemed like it might hurt the German economy. All that, and also apparently some lady named Victoria Nuland (who worked for the state department under President Obama)...I heard that her actions led to regime change in Ukraine. Anyway, I don't know about Cheney and these other war mongers buy I don't think they are the answer. I could be wrong though, all just stuff I've read that sounded accurate.
Glittering-Ad8169@reddit
Liz Cheney is very different from her father, your statements about him are generally understood as correct, but don't bear on Liz at all. 10 years ago I'd have had the same fear though guilt by association, but she is very much not him. Not saying to support her, do your own research, but I'd much rather see her than cheeto-in-chief on the GOP ballot.

So my choices are the Republican candidate or the Democrat candidate is what you are saying? No wonder no one running under a 3rd party "stands a chance" according to you guys. I'd rather "waste my vote" than vote against my morals.
Charming_Lemon_4205@reddit
they wont bc of votes arent counted individually the electoral college will majority split trump & kamala even if he got 1 major state it doesn't compare hence why it's wasted. no one wants either of them but it is the 2 who's policy's are more geared towards what you believe is the real question. every politician i guarantee us against your morals they don't get there being squeaky clean but that's is your opinion.

Authoritarianism, conspiracy theories, and hatred are all the GOP has at this rate. Greg Abbott said he wants to mandate that schools break federal discrimination laws by banning LGBTQ people from being teachers, if you want to know where the party's priorities are at.

I know who they are, which is why I'm voting for democrats for the foreseeable future.
miketag8337@reddit
He was in office for 4 years and what happened to our country? How was the economy? How was unemployment for minorities? How was inflation? How many wars were we in? How many billions of dollars of military equipment did he leave for terrorists? The pompous narcissist has a better record as the president than the last two Democrat presidents do.

Keep voting democratic and we lose our republic. Ignorance will rule in America.

Trump is ignorant. He's a fool. He's a tool. He's cruel, and angry, and mafia-like. He holds no Christian values whatsoever. He's the most disgusting, dangerous human right now because he has no morals and doesn't care about anyone but himself. Don't talk nonsense to me. He's disgusting and does not represent conservative values in any way, shape, or form.
GotHeem16@reddit
Same. 2016 is when it all turned for me. Both candidates in 2016 were bad so I didn’t vote for either. 2020 was no brainer for Biden. 2024 is another no brainer for Harris. How the Republican Party has turned into the party of far right extremists is sad.
Add that people like Cruz, Greene, Gaetz, Cotton, and Boebert have become the Republican face Congress and the house is sickening.

Man it sucks that people hardly even know what a democrat or a republican or even a liberal are. I guess people have the closest idea of liberals lmao but all parties have really been reduced to characatures over the real values they're supposed to represent. A consequence of constant propaganda and mongering, on both sides. It's gotten really bad the past few years though. I just desperately want someone in office who can make the world feel normal again
Last_Egg1074@reddit
I have to disagree. The fear mongering comes from one side, which has to put the other side on offense because of the ridiculous lies and dangerous consequences that come with it. Once MAGA is gone, it will get back to normal
Pootang_Wootang@reddit
Same here. I would have asked to be lobotomized before voting Democrat in 2015. Trump really improved my critical thinking skills and ability to self assess.
I told my father in law I’m refraining from voting until the GOP pulls their head from their own ass. He thinks I should hold my nose and vote R anyways. There is zero caveat to a vote and a GOP win doesn’t send a message to deliver better candidates. Fuck em. I’d rather have a D win so R’s can rethink why they let Trump hijack the party.

You had me for all of the first word. The amerikkkan empire needs to fall. It's already tearing at the seams.
And it's certainly never been a democracy. I'm voting for Harris cuz I'm trans and she won't fuck up my medical shit on day one. She doesn't want me dead as quickly. And she's not trump. That's it. She's still a fucking pig, she's still vying to be the leader of a fascist empire. She's pure evil too, just in a different way and Id rather have to oppose her state than trump's state.
Other than that the only real reason I vote, as an anarchist, is to get libs to leave me the fuck alone about it.
It certainly won't change anything, just a little harm reduction.

“Going down”
Buddy, when inflation went up 20% under this administration and proceeds to drop 1% over a couple years that’s not a trend like you want to flex on.
There is no reality where the majority of Americans are feeling economic stability right now. Your statement is so ignorant of the price of living I have to wonder if you’re being supported by someone else.
GotHeem16@reddit
Buddy,
Do you know what started in April of 2020 and ended May 2022? Trump agreed with OPEC to cut oil production by 10% for 2 years! Not a couple months, 2 years! That deal ended May 2022. What happened to inflation from April 2020 to May 2022? I’m sure you think it’s a coincidence that global and us inflation just magically went up until May 2022 and then just maniacally started to drop from that point forward.
I hate to tell you but the economy is roaring, you just don’t like facts.

“Roaring” 🫵🏼😂
Sure thing bud. Thats what you got huh? OPEC and trump are responsible for the economy going in the shitter?
Funny because he had it locked in for 3 years and the entire country was in agreement despite hating trump for other reasons.
You assert that oil production was cut by Trump huh? Thats funny, because gas down here in Texas was 1.80$ a gallon and you know that damn well don’t you?
Biden/Harris cut ties with every fossil fuel industry and promised to go “green energy” on top of halting the pipeline and rejecting ALL new leases on oil drilling as well as fracking.
It’s been 4 years and the lowest these clowns have gotten our gas prices down to is 2.50$ while it’s 4 or 5 something in blue states. Which I’m sure you’d love to vote in for us to deal with here huh?
You’re a dependent, that’s the only explanation for why you’re out here convinced that we’re all doing great and Americas economy is “roaring”
Bro it’s barely whimpering. Have you seen real estate prices? Have you seen mortgage rates? Have you seen the price of rent, utilities, groceries, fucking healthcare all of it you twat there’s no fucking way you support yourself and think this shit is ok.
GotHeem16@reddit
Lmao. Oil tankers were sitting with no where to upload their oil and one month oil was priced negatively because literally nobody was driving. But sometime you want to attribute those gas prices to Trump? Lmfao what a sheep.
lethalmuffin877@reddit
Oh the tankers were sitting offshore from 2016-2019 huh? All 4 years we had negative oil prices?
I love how you put on 2019 blinders as though that was the only year that we have statistics for 😂 As you say, COVID was the issue then right? What about the previous 3 years in comparison to Biden/Harris?
Convenient you keep forgetting huge periods of time that don’t suit your narrative

You can pretend that Trump is responsible for today’s prices, but these are the prices he had as president. And before you even say it, Obama’s rates were much worse than Trumps as well. You have no leg to stand on here and once again it shows you are a DEPENDENT
GotHeem16@reddit
I didn’t vote for Obama.
I’m not a sheep and just vote straight ticket. I voted R up until 2016. 2016 was a disaster for candidates and I didn’t vote for Trump or Clinton. 2020 voted Biden because Trump is basically a piece of shit who only cares about himself and his millionaire friends. 2024 only voting for Harris because agin Trump has zero redeeming qualities as a person. He literally today said he wants to get rid of taxing US citizens who move overseas. Gee, I wonder if that helps the blue collar guy? Of course not, his rich buddies who leave want it. Take the blinders off, he literally said he would avoid overtime pay. How does that help people like us? It doesn’t, he protects his corporate CEO buddies and that’s it.
lethalmuffin877@reddit
You have such a wildly limited understanding of how our economy works and it shows like a neon light.
Idgaf. I’m not voting for him to come to my house and play cards, I’m trying not to lose everything worked my ass off my entire life for.
The fact he wants to stop taxing people who leave the country is a negative thing to you huh? Well isn’t that precious, so you think it’s ok for Americans that want to live somewhere else to be taxed even when they don’t live here anymore?
There are more people in this world than “trumps billionaire friends” you jagoff, just because he comes out with an idea to help people doesn’t automatically make it useless to the rest of the population. How many billionaires have moved out of America? Do you even know? Why should the federal government be able to tax people that DONT EVEN LIVE HERE?
God you leftists are so EASY to manipulate. He didn’t say he would “avoid overtime” for the entire country smooth brain, he said he would reduce the government spending on overtime hours for UNION workers that are cashing gigantic checks courtesy of the American taxpayer via democrats handing them sweet backrooms deals for their vote.
How does that help blue collar Americans exactly? If you’re not in a union what do you get? I’ll tell you, NOTHING.

Spacemarine658@reddit
Lol le me guess you also like his tariffs right? The tariffs that crashed the economy? Very Smoot-Hawley of him
lethalmuffin877@reddit
Oh you mean the tariffs that Biden/Harris never got rid of and actually INCREASED this year?
https://www.marketplace.org/2024/05/14/how-tariffs-compare-in-the-biden-and-trump-eras/
Lmao yall really need to stop getting your economic information from Reddit and TikTok, you have no clue what’s going on in this country. This is embarrassing for you, how did you not know about this?
Spacemarine658@reddit
Except there are quite a lot of differences in the actual tariffs
"But there are differences. The Trump administration slapped tariffs on a wide range of goods, using a wide range of justifications, said Mary Lovely at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
“Sometimes they were justified as a way to reduce the bilateral trade deficit. At other times it was retaliation for China’s unfair trade practices,” she said.
Trump also targeted Canada, Europe and other American allies. But Biden’s tariffs on Chinese imports are much more narrowly tailored — specifically toward the industries the administration’s been trying to promote with other legislation.
Latest Stories on Marketplace What a mostly flat PPI can tell us about where the economy is Why did a lithium firm sell for billions when the metal’s price is falling? How Harris, Trump plans compare on the national debt, and why you should care “The work that was done through the Inflation Reduction Act to support U.S. electric vehicle manufacturing, batteries, critical minerals,” Lovely said.
Biden’s tariffs might be more targeted, but they’re also a lot higher. Rachel Brewster, a professor at Duke Law School, said the Trump administration set tariffs in the 10% to 25% range.
“What they were trying to do is say to the Chinese government, ‘We’re flexing our muscles. We’re hurting you. And so you need to talk to us,’” Brewster said."
lethalmuffin877@reddit
Again, Biden RAISED the trump tariffs. So if the tariffs are the reason the economy is in shambles (total bullshit but let’s just assume for the sake of argument) why is Biden increasing them instead of getting rid of them?
You can’t seriously be sitting here implying that the large swath of trumps tariffs that are still in place are good while the few that Biden did away with were so bad that they “collapsed our economy”
You can’t be that dense, you simply can’t.

Inflation as of today is at 2.4% which falls within the range typically targeted by the Federal Reserve. Unemployment is at record lows. Job creation is robust. The stock market is posting record highs. The economy, by all metrics, is in good shape especially considering COVID.
Is any of this untrue? Would Trump’s plan to implement a 10-20% tariff on all imports seriously benefit the economy?

The Catholic Church teaches that all life is valuable. There are cases where abortion can save the life of one, rather than allow both to die- this should be kept legal. 99.99% of abortions shouldn’t occur and I don’t support them.
However, the danger that Trump poses is far too great to justify ever voting for him. He is a full blown narcissist wanna be authoritarian who won’t give up power again if given the chance.

But like, isn’t keeping a country safe from authoritarian rule more important in the long run? Idk, to me preserving foundations of democracy is far more important
MrMopar345@reddit
Foundation of democracy? You do know we ARENT a democracy right?... We are a Constitutional Republic with a few democratic properties. True democracy is mob rule and dangerous. Democracy means if a room full of misguided or malicious people vote to steal your belongings and kick you out, you're screwed. Our Constitutional Republic takes our voices into account but ensures that those decisions remain within certain parameters. Under a Democracy we could vote to make slavery legal again. Our Constitutional Republic says nope, certain things are not up for vote or debate period. The Democrat party actually adopted the name after successfully using this system to vote whether or not to expand westward and bring slavery out west. They voted yes so they did so. With the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, the Republican party proceeded to go to war with the Confederacy, free the slaves, and fight for civil rights. Republican party held true to the fact that "all men are created equal" meanwhile the Democrat party proceeded to fight against civil rights movements and wouldn't allow non whites to join for decades. They even went as far as putting out hateful propaganda and demonizing the Republicans for allowing non whites into their party. When white ppl started waking up and realizing that racism was wrong, the Democrat party aka the "south" decided they needed to regain their voter base and decided to move their efforts into bigger cities and target minorities by giving away free food stamps and welfare in order to win us over and trick us into voting for them. So voting for something doesn't make it right or wrong. Having a foundation is key and in my opinion, integrity is really hard to find nowadays. Certain things should never be up for discussion or vote period. All a tyrant would have to do is brainwash the people and let the people "decide". True democracy is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.
Dry-Perspective3701@reddit

No it's authoritarian.
Catholics have authoritarian tendencies.
A triangle and a square are both polygons. That doesn't mean the triangle is a square.
Catholicism and the government of Singapore are both authoritarian, that doesn't mean Singapore is Catholic

Right.
You’re making the claim that Catholics prefer or lean towards being pro authoritarian by nature and you used Singapore as an example. It’s not Catholic. What was your point?
RepentantSororitas@reddit
I used singapore as an example of authoritarian ideologies still existing in a democratic process
Appathesamurai@reddit
I disagree with your premise that there’s no difference between being pro authoritarian and pro democratic because it “has nothing to do with how authority is used”.
Inherently, being pro democracy mean being against authoritarian rule in any form, otherwise they wouldn’t be pro democratic elections but divine rule or militaristic coups
RepentantSororitas@reddit
So do you believe a democracy with slavery or democracy that participates in genocide is not pro authoritarian?
This is not my premise. My premise is democracy and authority are NOT opposites.

Yes.

Do you believe that Harris has any authority as president to change the current rulings on abortion laws in the US?
Shrek2in4KUHD@reddit
Rarely does something change extremely drastically with one decision or president… You are looking at this far too acutely. It’s a slow process of implementing gradual change. And to be honest, that reality may change soon.
Kamala is not going to be president if she wins anyway. It’s pretty clear she has no fucking idea what she is doing, it’s the most obvious political puppet I’ve ever seen that I feel like I am going crazy that more people don’t notice.
I implore you to pray deeply about this and see the greater picture. We are not discussing politics anymore if you want me to be absolutely honest with you. This is about seeing your surroundings and picking up on what is happening. If the democrats win, they may never lose again. That’s why all these illegals are allowed to pour in.
If democrats never lose again… If you think abortion is already barbaric, just let them have the reigns and see what they do with them.

I hope no man treats your daughters the way he has treated girls and women before, however that's very unlikely. With men like you clearly not prioritizing his daughters safety over freaking money, I'd fear for their future too.
Absolutely detestable.

That’s a really difficult thing that I grapple with. I don’t know how my daughters will feel about my decisions when they get older but I do know I want to give them the tools and knowledge to be better than I am in in every way possible whatever that means and takes. As I’ve said, I absolutely loathe who Trump is as an individual and everything that he’s said and done to put women down. My only self justification is I’m not voting for Mr./Mrs. America. I’m voting for an economic leader. When I interview someone for a job, I don’t ask them questions about the personal beliefs, viewpoint on politics, race, or anything of that matter, I simply look at their qualifications for why they should be the right person for the job. I try to approach voting for president with the same mindset. That may be wrong but it’s the only way I’ve found to approach politics without losing my mind. On the other hand, I could also argue that I don’t want to teach my daughters that they need to use their sexuality to get ahead in life which one could argue Kamala did early in her career forming sexual relationships with men in power to give herself more opportunity. I want to teach my daughters to stand up for who they are as women, not let any man or woman put them down or see less of them as a human beings. Regarding his personal behavior, I agree that it’s concerning, but I separate that from what I believe is best for the country’s future in terms of job creation, lower taxes, and deregulation. I also believe it’s possible to raise strong, independent daughters who are aware of these issues and can navigate the world confidently, regardless of who is in office. My vote is based on what I think will provide the best opportunities for them long-term, even if I don’t agree with everything about the candidate personally.
These are more reasons why I feel the rest of the ballot is more important than ever to erase party lines and vote according to what aligns with my goals for the future of my daughters.

I don't either (believe everything I believe is always right etc)
So...
I guess what I'm asking here is - what is the draw in choosing someone whom you know doesn't care, and whose actions will work against things you supposedly believe?
unvaluedcube@reddit
Honestly I suppose fear and global exposure. My biggest fear being those whose interests are that of the view the population is slaves to consumption and nothing more. The best argument is Trump is exactly that, there is very little to no evidence that’s who Kamala is, but when I listen to her talk I just don’t believe her or believe in her and when I see who supports her that’s what scares me most. I hate this decision and I’ve done my best to try to understand and research as much as I can. As a young voter I feel like the 3 election cycles I’ve participated in I’ve never truly been represented on Election Day. The first glimmer of hope I’ve had in years was the VP debate because I finally found commonality in both sides. I understand the rebuttals that I should fear trump and I do, I fear them both and I hate that but right now I fear and distrust the interest one side slightly more than the other.
Thank you for your questions I really enjoy open conversation.
DreadLordNate@reddit
Here's the hard break:
You're unlikely to really get much representation as one might otherwise expect. That's a thing. However...
That being said, I tend to base my voting as who's likely to do the least damage to the most people. I myself will likely be relatively unscathed by this. In this, I'm not voting for me but all the not me out there, who will be severely impacted by a Trump presidency.
If I skip to the VP - which really that's what the Trump run is about, as the Heritage folks want Vance and will get Trump out of the way as soon as possible then the choice is clearer still.
There's zero chance in hell I'd ever vote for Vance. Walz may not be a hillbilly the way Vance tries but he's still damn closer to being a Texan than that dude will ever get.
unvaluedcube@reddit
I just finished reading Vance’s book and am trying to learn more about his political positions being that I knew little to nothing about him prior to being selected. Is there a major political reason you hate him (outside personal loathing of him as an individual).
DreadLordNate@reddit
Would his outright lies about immigrants not be sufficient? I mean, the demonization of others as means of blame for any/every convenient social ill should be enough. While not the end, it's the first, for sure, as well as troubling Replace Haitians, or Mexicans (another favorite) with Jews and we get a pretty quick flash back to the end of Weimar Republic and the rise of the Reich: find someone to blame for complex shit, lie about it, amplify the lies, and reap what happens when they buy it.
(Note: this wasn't intended to Godwin - it's more "that's kinda how easily it lined up" vs "everything is Hitler", which is silly.)
unvaluedcube@reddit
Are you referring to Trump or Vance?
DreadLordNate@reddit
Both.
unvaluedcube@reddit
Very interesting. I suppose history doesn’t lie. As someone that has dual citizenship and lived in another country for a good portion of my life I believe that a country has loyalty first to its natural citizens and their welfare before that of others. But can also see the argument that this is archaic and keeps humans from evolving as a civilization. This is such a difficult one for me because I know I have done absolutely nothing to deserve to be born in the US giving me a huge advantage over many places in the world. But I still find my heart leaning toward those that originate from my community and their welfare which isn’t being met above those of people from other communities, states, and countries. I definitely don’t agree with degrading humans in search of a better life, that is after all arguably our purpose.
DreadLordNate@reddit
We kinda don't get to pick where we're born. States, countries, etc are arbitrary designators of implied community, which fail to adequately address what makes community in the first place.
And no. We shouldn't degrade others in search of better, because I'm pretty sure we would prefer to be treated well, were it us in need.
(I'm of course skipping over the interconnected problems of foreign policy that helped create so many areas of need in interests of both brevity and understood stuff)
unvaluedcube@reddit
To clarify when I say “who supports her” I don’t mean voting population I mean corporations and billionaires.
unvaluedcube@reddit
One of many examples, but a currently relevant one is ABC News obviously supports and pushes Biden then Kamala with 90-100% of conversation on the network being positive to her (feel free to fact check). And ABC News is owned by The Walt Disney Company, which acquired the network in 1995. The largest shareholders of Disney, and therefore indirect owners of ABC News, include major institutional investors such as Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and State Street Corporation. Vanguard holds approximately 7.66% of Disney’s shares, while BlackRock owns about 4.36%. These firms are major players in many industries, including media, as they control large portions of stock in most large companies in the US from the food that’s killing us, to the healthcare system that abuses us. Those are the ones I do not and will never trust. And when they support someone in anyway that person is immediately a no for me.
Appathesamurai@reddit
May I ask why you’re voting for Trump after what he did last time he lost?
unvaluedcube@reddit
Honestly thank you for asking because most people just downvote and move on. In no way do I stand for what *his crazed followers did when he lost, and his lack of effort to try and stop it despite what he says he tried to do with national guard troops and tweets asking people to stay peaceful. I have never thought him a man of decorum either in victory or loss. As a human being I loath so much about him. Who comes from the exact problem that is crippling this nation which is wealth consolidation. But as a business owner I believe he understands the US is the largest business in the world. Despite what some might say I believe his record shows he’s a good businessman in one sense, he understands how to almost always be on the winning side of a business deal, and he hates losing. What these things tell me is he will do everything in his power to be the best possible due more than anything to his pride (I would love to say it was firstly for his love of the people but I can’t).
I honestly wish I had a better choice to vote for overall but when weighing my own personal family benefits and economic future I don’t trust Kamala’s track record or lack there of in terms of economic and financial decisions for our country.
I also feel either way we continue to lose because we live in a country who’s system is not designed for our benefit but is designed to allow those in power to first benefit themselves and their close allies. Both sides are supported by individuals and corporations that tell you everything you need to know about the truth behind their words, and once again I find myself looking at the financial backing of the DNC and their economic backing and finding that one of the most discouraging factors.
Here is an unbiased long version of where my argument is week and what holds value if you’re interested in that: Points to Consider: Business Success and Government: While Donald Trump understands business deals, running a country differs significantly from running a business. Governments prioritize public welfare, long-term stability, and ethical governance, while businesses focus on profit maximization and efficiency. Some of Trump’s business practices, such as using bankruptcy to mitigate losses, may not translate well to managing national debt or public welfare. Leadership and National Stability: Trump’s handling of the January 6th Capitol riots and his behavior in moments of national crisis raise concerns about his leadership. Even if his economic policies were beneficial to some business owners, a president’s role includes uniting the country, upholding democratic norms, and maintaining public trust. His divisive rhetoric could undermine national stability, which is crucial for a thriving economy. Kamala Harris’ Record: While you express distrust in Kamala Harris’ economic decisions, her role as vice president has been limited in scope regarding economic policy. Criticism of her track record might come more from her tenure as a senator or attorney general, which had little to do with fiscal matters. The Biden administration’s economic policies, though criticized, have also had some positive aspects, such as infrastructure investments. If your concern is economic performance, it’s worth looking at the broader administration’s policies rather than just Harris. The Power Structure in Politics: Your skepticism about the influence of corporations and special interests on both parties is well-founded. However, the question remains whether the influence of these groups is worse under Trump than under Biden or Harris. Both parties receive corporate donations, but the nature and policies of those corporations differ. For example, Biden’s administration has taken more steps toward regulating tech and financial sectors, while Trump’s deregulation policies tended to favor large businesses. Well-Founded Aspects: Understanding Business and the Economy: Your argument that Trump understands business resonates with many voters who benefited from his tax policies and deregulatory stance. His focus on cutting taxes and deregulating industries did benefit some businesses and individuals, which aligns with your perspective as a business owner. Pride and Competitiveness: You suggest that Trump’s pride and hatred of losing would drive him to do his best as president. This may hold some truth. Trump’s competitiveness and desire to be viewed as successful are clear motivators, and these personal characteristics could push him to pursue policies that he believes would bolster the economy and his legacy. Skepticism of Political Systems: Your critique of both parties being beholden to special interests is a valid concern. This reflects a growing sentiment in the U.S. that the political system is rigged to benefit the wealthy and well-connected. Your frustration is shared by many Americans who feel that neither party truly represents the average citizen’s interests.

That's a whole lot of words just to tell us that you've learned nothing from history.
You're not "one of the good ones". They'll toss you in a camp as soon as it's convenient for them.

unvaluedcube@reddit
I suppose I definitely have more to learn. I’ve tried to understand global history going back a few hundred years as an equal factor to recent history and ways we have progressed, and regressed and ways we continue to cloak regression in a light that paints it as progression. There are many things about Trump that feel like regression. But to me there is a great fear of my other option being negative progression presented as a positive for me when in so many ways I feel it continues to cripple me and make me reliant on a system I no longer trust.
2_LEET_2_YEET@reddit
Hey I get it, all we can do is try to be as informed as possible.
If I were you and my main concern was trusting the system, TFG wouldn't hold that standard by any means. How do you trust someone so volatile and vengeful whose only desires include taking power & getting revenge? One whose every other word is demonstrably false?
In fact he and the Heritage Foundation have made it clear they intend to bring the US back to the 19th century. Project 2025 if you aren't aware of it, give it a search. It's contents (which personally make my skin crawl) should make clear who is offering regression dressed like progression and it sure AF isn't Madame VP.
GarlicAltruistic5357@reddit
You seem reasonable, and that post was thought out, so I will engage:
Trumps economic plans seem to just push the problem further down the line, increasing the deficit. His idea of running a business is only looking at short term success with no care for the future. If you really want to talk business, his strategies violate the going concern principle. His solvency ratios would fail.
While I do think it’s important to manage the corporate tax rate and encourage businesses to operate in America, that will do no good without also investing in the workers themselves. But instead, the Republican Party plans to underfund social & welfare programs meant to help people and invest in the next generation of workers.
I think the Biden/Harris infrastructure deal did a significant amount for the economy, and I believe her economic plans are solid & well rounded to include investments in people.
unvaluedcube@reddit
Thank you for this! Very constructive feedback. I do worry about problems being kicked down the road because as a national debt shows that seems to be tradition in this country. I do believe that the choice between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the economic future of the U.S. depends on differing priorities.
My understanding is Trump focuses on lowering taxes, deregulation, and America-first trade policies, which he argues stimulate economic growth and job creation. His administration prioritized corporate tax cuts and reducing government intervention in businesses, which supporters claim led to economic expansion before COVID-19.
Harris, aligns with Biden’s policies, emphasizes investment in infrastructure, clean energy, and social programs like health care and education. Her economic vision includes taxing the wealthy and corporations more to fund these initiatives, aiming for a more equitable economy and long-term sustainability.
Trump’s approach is more pro-business, while Harris advocates for greater government intervention to address inequality and climate issues. Each has different implications for growth, job creation, and wealth distribution. For me personally it feels like the choice is greater dependency or Independancy (that last sentence is entirely personal opinion based)
GarlicAltruistic5357@reddit
I agree with this.
In another world, where America’s current economic inequality was not at such extremes, and looking at the economic policies only, it would be a hard choice to make. In that world, I bet it would be easy to speak to one another about one’s opinions & engage in thoughtful debates.
Unfortunately, America’s economic inequality is at such extremes that we need government intervention or we will threaten the livelihoods of our children. And when thinking about children and people’s livelihoods- there’s more than just the economy in play.
Trump/republican policies and rhetoric only favor ‘independencey’ if you are a business or a White Christian male. The idea of republicans supporting small government is no longer true. They want to regulate what books children can read & what healthcare women can get. It’s unfortunately very far from what it once was.
unvaluedcube@reddit
I agree with you, I feel like the economic extremes in our country have progressively gotten to the point where as working and lower class we have ended up in a hole so deep that no politician offers a clear way out. I understand that Kamala Harris claims to stand for economic justice, healthcare access, civil rights, and criminal justice reform, but I don’t see how she’ll actually achieve any of it. Politicians often face constraints like a divided Congress, vague policy details, and pressure from powerful interest groups. Harris’s past as a prosecutor doesn’t always align with her current rhetoric, making it hard to trust that real change will happen. Even if she has good intentions, systemic barriers and the need for compromise could prevent her from delivering on these promises. And to me that makes it very difficult for me to trust her with my vote
GarlicAltruistic5357@reddit
It’s not about her achieving it, necessarily. It’s about her standing up for it & and advocating for it. Maybe things don’t change- progress forwards is slow.
But progress backwards is quick, and Trump will push backwards. Heck, it will take longer than 4 years to undo the harm he causes simply with his rhetoric. People think it’s okay to be rascist now. How on earth will racist policies ever change if we put rascists in office?

No worries, I understand, I’m honestly just trying to have an open conversation in a world where that seems increasingly difficult. I do agree that the word “good”was probably not the right choice what I really should’ve said was “successful.”
liloto3@reddit
“He’s a good businessman”…he was given an empire and had filed bankruptcy 6 times. Makes no sense.
unvaluedcube@reddit
When you understand filing bankruptcy for personal financial gain it makes a lot more sense. Ethically wrong in my opinion but another back door billionaires use to protect their wealth.
liloto3@reddit
I do understand filing bankruptcy for personal reasons and think it’s a shitty thing to do. It in no way, shape, or form equals “a good businesses man”. People get screwed when others file bankruptcy. I hope I never do business with you.

Appathesamurai@reddit
I’m more concerned about preserving democracy, rather than giving authoritative power to a man who denied the results of the last election and sent a mob to the capital in his name.
I’m pro life. Abortion should be legal in rare circumstance, and we’ve seen that when conservatives implement these laws in southern states, they result in innocent women dying from a result of their regulations.
I’d rather live in a nation with a mid to late term abortion ban, than a nation where we don’t have free and fair elections.
False-Application-99@reddit
So you voted for killing unborn? See how that logic works?
GovernmentHovercraft@reddit

WTFisThaInternet@reddit
My refrain for the last several years is simple: set aside your feelings about any normal political issue. The one thing we should all agree on is preserving democracy. Trump is a threat to democracy.
People like you, who I'd imagine are breaking with their normal voting pattern because of Trump, are why I think Trump is toast. I really think, or maybe I just want to believe, that there are millions who are doing what you're doing.
GovernmentHovercraft@reddit
So you voted to martyr women? Including minors? Did you make that decision for them?

That's the 1st amendment in action! Anyone can say anything no matter how slanderous or outlandish it actually is, and people can also call them out on their cockamamie if their want arises, no matter how slanderous or outlandish the stance! First, we took serious matters into politics, because back then, it was us and the ever expanding world. We couldn't help staying neutral in conflict, and had many parties, not just the two. Then in the turn of the 19th century, it was changed into a two party system. You wouldn't think this would be a problem, after all, there were less choices to be had, but that soon divided us around the age of the internet. Kids were putting their hat in the political rings, elderly post about how everything was 10 cents in the 1940s, and before you knew it, everything became political. Scandals coming out of the woodwork, things that weren't problems starting to become problematic, because hip-hop and rock was the devil's music, and you were a racist if you enjoyed country music. All of this back and forth for the past 30 years would be enough to reduce anyone's brains into atonal mush, and don't get me started on the corporate run bots that sell people lies like snake oilers. To make an actual point instead of rambling here: this whole 2 party system thing isn't that great, and has put neighbor against neighbor for far too long, and corporate greed has funded this cycle of torment. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is still there, you just have to actively avoid the things trying to take it from you.

Distribution-Radiant@reddit
Texas is very much "vote straight ticket or don't vote for that position". Hence why they ask which ballot you want when you vote. I'm not sure which party caused that to happen (or if it was bipartisan), but very occasionally I might want to go to the dark side for a particular office. No, I'm not saying what the dark side is for me (that's between me and the ballot box, the only person I discuss politics with is my SO and a former professor I had at Richland that I still stay in touch with), I'll just say you need to get out there and make sure to vote, encourage everyone you know to vote, regardless of party affiliation.
I will say I'm getting sick of each party leaving stuff on my door every other day. My mind was made up a long time ago. There's a no flyers sign on my door along with no soliciting. I'm in a weird apartment that has its own set of outside stairs, and stuff often blows off of my door.

I don’t remember any for democrats but did hear about republicans more . Didn’t vote either back then and when I did vote for the first time I I voted republican one time.as soon as I found out that Trump was running I have voted democrat ever since.

Compare and contrast to Harris claims that Trump will end democracy and round up those who oppose him. Weird, I don't remember him making any such efforts when he was in office. Most of the lies were fabricated from the left in an attempt to impeach him.

Don’t forget, Trump sent Putin a COVID test.

Yes in exchange for respirators to keep Americans alive. Let me guess, you hate that?
ThatOneUpittyGuy@reddit
Proof?
Feelisoffical@reddit
“We sent a batch of artificial respiration devices, and several test devices came from America,” Mr Peskov said.”
https://news.sky.com/story/kremlin-addresses-claims-trump-sent-covid-test-machines-to-putin-13231062
“We sent [artificial lung ventilators] to the States,” he said, adding that “the Americans sent us several samples of those testing systems as at that time there were very few of them. Many countries did this.”

Familiar-Secretary25@reddit
Did we need them at that time?
Did he use them correctly?
He sent these testing devices as a favor. IF Russia truly sent us ventilators it was to cover donald’s ass. Just like Putin said. Don’t tell anyone.
Feelisoffical@reddit
Yes we did. Your article is from 3 months after the fact, once we he a plethora of ventilators. When COVID first hit we did not.
This article is proving the need for the ventilators we received from Russia.
The exact same source that says Trump provided the Covid tests also says Russia provided ventilators.

Hopefully next election I can vote red but not this time.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of your choices. 👍 We need more people who are willing to choose Country over Party. I’m a Democrat, but I’m not a huge fan of Kamala and her economic policies. But she is getting my vote because she’s our only chance of being able to get back to politically civil disagreements over policy minutiae between members of democratic (little d) parties like the GOP and the Democrats.
miketag8337@reddit
Lmao! Who do you think created this division in the first place?! Who said to get in their face and make them feel uncomfortable?
I am not voting for Trump but there is no way I’m going to vote for a mental midget who believes that taxing unrealized gains and the top 1% “needs to pay their fair share” (they pay 45% of ALL taxes) are viable economic policies. Not even an overly protective media can cover up how ignorant she is. Do you think that a 3% increase in the population helped or hurt the price of housing in this country?

Based on all the liberal activity I’ve seen, it’s within reason to assume this was done by a liberal to influence people’s votes. If it’s not? Oh well. There’s crazy people everywhere. Voting for Trump because American will NOT be Venezuela 2.0. The middle class must survive. Our tax dollars belong to Americans and Americans only. Not illegals or other countries’ wars. All people have against trump are ad hominem fallacies. People who fall for Harris’ facade and forget she’s a prosecutor whose job it is to deceive and stretch the truth.

My grandpa was a big labor man so he taught me to vote Democrat. He so taught me to vote my conscience though. He said to me when I first started voting that he doesn't care if I vote like him as long as I voted what I felt was right. I vote Democrat still.
This man would be 98 right now if still alive. He was literally the only white man in our neighborhood with Bill Clinton signs and Gore signs.
He watched Obama at the DNC in 2004 and said "you're looking at the first black president.". He died in 2007 so he never saw that play out but he called it.

Outrageous_Log_906@reddit
Wow, that’s really strange. This is what’s wrong with our political system, too much partisanship and not enough critical thinking. Pick the best option, not the person who is aligned with a party. Mitt Romney and Trump are Republicans but very different people and policies. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, both Democrats but different people with different policies. You can’t just vote by party.
One_Salamander_9701@reddit
I consider myself a liberal independent. I refuse to vote based on party alone.
Substantial-Ad-8575@reddit
Same, I vote by candidate. Often most are Green or Libertarian. Hard to find a centrist that supports strong immigration, a responsible budget based on current tax revenue, and a strong military.
Idk, just wish US had stronger third party options. Really sucks when I visit with my Mum to Australia. 5-6 main political parties, have to form a coalition for Prime Minister. Along with mandatory voting, in person dominates 97% of voting, multiple parties, very little campaign contributions, and lots of debates from local council to state/federal candidates.
But they also do complain about high taxes and even more unaffordability of housing and high COL in cities. Along with Australian inflation/consumer index sticking around 3.8%-4% for almost all of 2024.
One_Salamander_9701@reddit
Lol I got down voted for saying that

Yeah voting centrist doesn’t help anyone. Unfortunately we have a two party system so essentially unless that candidate has taken a side then it is a pointless vote that can be used elsewhere. Not dogging on your choices just speaking on the downvote.

edisonlbm@reddit
It's funny, because you can't vote straight party in Texas anymore - you used to be able to do that with one click, but Republicans changed that in 2018 or so when they started running really unpopular candidates at the top of the ticket.
Now they are mad at that I guess?
Melonpan_Pup442@reddit
Wait, what? How is that even legal?
robbzilla@reddit
I mean, you can go down the line and vote for every Democrat there... you just can't click one button and be done.
I personally want to see ranked choice voting, so I guess I'm not able to summon up any real outrage at this one weird trick.
quesoandtexas@reddit
In general I agree people should choose each candidate not just a party. However removing straight ticket voting has a side effect of making voting lines longer because you have to go through every race individually
robbzilla@reddit
Ranked Choice would make them longer. But if you're voting on the actual election day in an area that has early voting, it's kind of on you anyway.
Which would be a small price to pay to be able to get actual good candidates in office.
ButterscotchTape55@reddit
Texas now has some of the strictest voting laws in the country that have been taken to all kinds of courts and been allowed to stay. This is one of them. I started voting in 2008. 2018 was the last year we could vote straight ticket. It was getting too easy for people to vote in the more densely populated democratic areas. The republican majority was shrinking
So instead of party reform and listening to their constituents, they decided to just make it harder to vote however they could while spreading lies about widespread voter fraud they've still yet to prove. It didn't really work, the republican majority has still been pretty steadily shrinking, it's just harder for more people to vote now. The republicans really need to go sit in time out for a little while
Melonpan_Pup442@reddit
Can you still vote all one party or will it make it invalid? Because now I'm worried about my ballot last election.
ButterscotchTape55@reddit
Yes you can still vote all one party, you just have to go through and manually select the candidates instead of being able to fill out the whole ballot with one click. This is where it gets really shitty. A lot of government positions that are actually really important but don't get much press coverage, particularly positions that are state and local government, are towards the bottom of the ballot and get less votes because each candidate up for election has to be selected. So please make sure you go through the entire ballot top to bottom
https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Lookup
You can put in your address here and find a sample ballot specific to your location so you aren't shocked by how long it takes to get through it when you go to vote. It can get tedious but that's how our republican overlords want it. That sample ballot is also good for doing research on policy that's up for election so you aren't blindsided with that since you very likely won't hear about it before you go to vote for it and it'll be confusingly worded on the ballot on purpose
PimpGameShane@reddit
It also has the intended effect of making voting lines longer. Before, you could one click and be out. Now, you have to pour through pages of candidates and amendments making your time in the booth longer, thus making wait times longer.

Don't vote, Kamala, for any reason. Quite a bit of the shit she's talking about could already be done, considering her current position is literally second to the one she's shooting for.
She's a lying slut that sucked her way to the top, and women wanna call her their president? Great example for the kids. "Don't forget to suck plenty of dick, little Suzy, if you wanna get ahead in life!"

Why do you despise me for being a democrat?
CatLadyAmy1@reddit
You know, I wondered why people are still voting blue after the last four years. Hell, even the last 4 weeks of this administration… It’s not about Voting blue no matter who or orange man bad… it’s a vote between a peaceful civilization or more wars, more inflation, more crimes, less money for Americans, FEMA, open boarders… If I thought Kamala would do the better job, I’d vote for her as a conservative… but she isn’t the candidate.
TerryTags@reddit
Aww, bless your heart.

So… only democrats blindly vote straight party tickets? I’m pretty sure everyone with absolutely no critical thinking skills does that, regardless of the party.
If you want change, stop voting for the same people.
mrblacklabel71@reddit
I've heard "Vote straight ticket republican" since the 80's. I was about 8 the first time I heard it and it is was dumb to me then and is dumber to me now.
nazerall@reddit
When I was young, I hated the phrase "blue no matter who". Now, it's definitely blue no matter what. And definitely, don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.
LegoFamilyTX@reddit
I find it interesting how many people here truly want a one party state like China has.
"Vote Blue no matter who" implies a desire for the CCP or Putin, which is sad.
I don't want the GOP to win every seat any more than I want the Dems to win every seat. If you don't take into account multiple viewpoints, you end up with a dictatorship.
nazerall@reddit
I'm going to assume you're a bot, or Russian plant. That's nicer than assuming you're just an idiot.
I don't want a one-party State. But we have a two-party system, and one of those parties wants to actively take away most of our rights.
I would love more of a parliamentary system, or ranked choice voting. But until we can implement that, fat chance, I'll wait for the party that represents my interests the most and that happens to be the Democratic party.

When I was young, we were "yellow dog Democrats" meaning we'd vote for a yellow dog before voting Republican. Been one of those a few decades, but feel it now more than ever.
GuacinmyPaintbox@reddit
So glad to see this. I mentioned being taught the term "yellow dog Republican" in school to a few coworkers the other day and was given a look of sheer confusion as to what that meant.
One of them going so far as to say "Well, that would just be stupid to vote for a dog"
JustMeInBigD@reddit
This is the type of comment I was expecting...a few oldsters (or even a youngster) reminiscing about the term.
Not the now deleted comment comparing straight ticket voting to wanting "a one party state like China has". Or being in favor of ruling parties like the CCP and Putin.

JustMeInBigD@reddit
A one-party state like China? Tell me you haven't lived in Texas for 30 years. That's how long EVERY SINGLE statewide office in Texas has been held by a single party, my sweet summer child. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether or not people choose to vote a straight ticket.
I'd love for there to be 5 or 6 parties and ranked choice voting, but we don't have that (and won't get it as long as a certain party in Texas continues their gamesmanship. And in case you're not aware, the gerrymandering, voter suppression and other games did not arise from the party that has 60+ year-old yellow dog fans.)
You might need to educate yourself on what political parties in the US do. How platforms are put together and how they work. If you haven't been a delegate to a political party convention, you might need to learn what that's about. It works a whole lot like something called the Constitutional Convention, which used the same process and formed the basis of our fledgling government.
You could do a lot more good by starting a new poliltical party, or advocating for changes in our two-party system than you will comparing party loyalists to Putin. You gotta work within the system to change the system. And you can't do that if you don't have a clue how it works.
LegoFamilyTX@reddit
I find it deeply ironic how much you assume about me and how much you assume you know.
You're wrong on both counts.
You are correct about problems in Texas being too heavily GOP, a single party is bad in both directions. The GOP has been in charge too long in Texas for sure. Ideally you'd have a GOP house and a Dem Gov, or vice versa, and they would have to work together.
JustMeInBigD@reddit
You were wrong about me first and in a most intentionally offensive way. If you know what you're talking about you don't need to throw out Putin to insult people. Grow the F up.

Under Texas law, persons are not allowed to use wireless communications devices within 100 feet of voting stations. Additionally, persons are not allowed to use mechanical or electronic devices to record sound or images within 100 feet of the voting stations.
Devices that should not be used in the polling place include:
Cell phones Cameras Tablet computers Laptop computers Sound recorders Any other device that may communicate wirelessly, or be used to record sound or images.
