I’m sorry you feel that way too, I’m in the same exact boat so I know what that feels like… I’m just waiting for my older relatives to pass so I don’t hurt them and then I can finally stop existing.
I think he already released a statement saying Trump is perfect and has lost weight but didn’t give any specifics, just a general “all vitals are great”
Trump is running with that being an official release of a medical evaluation :/
if they accuse him it looks like “no, you are!”
This is exactly what I’ve been saying is the reason Republicans do it so often! You pretty much completely diffuse an argument before it even starts.
Well it’s illegal now to be on the street vowelless so I don’t have much of a choice.
They’re all too happy to be “drinking liberal tears.” They never truly gave a shit about it, they just wanted “to win” and those perceived slights hinderd their chances at winning. Now that it’s in their favor they couldn’t possibly care less and if anything are happy it’s happening in part because of their lust for revenge and in part because they get “to win.”
What I was referring to is progress via government. There is no reality where we get what we want for a very long time. If we blow this now by sitting it out we just extend that timeline exponentially.
I wish I had your optimism, but I don’t see anything to be hopeful for in that respect.
I don’t want to either, but I also don’t want to let the heritage foundation complete their decades long plan of solidifying control of the federal government. It’s already going to be an uphill battle for a very long time just getting rid of all the federal judges they’ve picked over the decades. Every election is about more than just the president, who gets to pick judges is insanely important.
Even if we got our perfect candidate, we’d still have a corpo house, and with this cycle a more than likely Republican Senate.
Our options are vote for Kamala and literally nothing changes because they won’t have full control so it will be 2 years of nothing but executive orders being shot down by SCOTUS or other conservative courts, vote for Trump and the federalist society gets what they want, or vote for neither and Trump wins and the federalist society gets what they want.
For anyone who wants actual progress the future is insanely bleak.
I really should as well. I’m insanely depressed about it all. It really feels absolutely hopeless.
Everyone still needs to vote, but I’m convinced they won’t even need to ratfuck this one. I really believe he’s just going to outright win if the polls are the same kind of fucked as they have been for the last decade… Midterm polling is more accurate, but any poll with Trump on it seems to be wayyyy inaccurate :(
I might even be considered one of those then since I still need to get a “Real ID.” I just renewed my old style license because it’s about to expire and I didn’t realize I need to get my birth certificate for the new id…
Part of me wishes they would deport me, just don’t know where that would be lol I guess Italy but that was like 100 years ago.
I don’t know why they need to go this far to be honest. If what I’ve read about polling inaccuracy is to be believed from a pew research article then Kamala has already lost every single swing state because Republicans are refusing to take part in polling in larger and larger numbers so we keep seeing Democrats showing as performing higher than they are in reality…
If she’s tied in some, “ahead” by only .5 in others, and behind by 1.5 in others then in reality she’s more than likely behind by 3+ in each… :(
Seriously… It’s like these people never learn. He’s an obstinate child and will never do what he doesn’t want to do unless compelled by the courts.
…and that’s actually a thing that his cult loves.
Magoos: “Twitter did it to Trump before Musk so it’s ok! Revenge is our bread and butter! Watch me drink liberal tears and laugh over something that enraged me previously! Gratification is more important than integrity!”
While I absolutely understand propaganda is the issue (my comment history is chock full of “I fucking hate propagandists”) we’re all subject to the same information that others can’t seem to see through. That someone like MTG can stay in government isn’t completely the fault of propaganda, you have to be stupid enough to not see how absolutely stupid and hateful people like her are and choose to vote for them again and again.

“Data shows… Ahh who are we kidding, the people that need to see this won’t. They don’t read this, they watch Fucker Carlson and Sean Hamface on Fox news.”
And our electorate is in part why the electoral college exists and why the founders thought we shouldn’t have a direct vote: we’re too fucking stupid and too easily swayed by a populist. Too bad the actual electors won’t do what they’re allowed to do and not vote for Trump even if the people do.
As usual we heard pretty much the same thing about Obama being a communist…
Where’s the fucking communism asshat!? They’ve had a collective 12 fucking years to at least try…
It’s just the bell to Pavlov’s dog… Say communist and right wingers froth at the mouth in a rage, doesn’t matter if it’s true or not.
I know people like to have faith in technology but I live by the idea that “if it connects to the internet, it will be hacked/hackable.”
Fuck that noise, I’ll push my “old school” vacuum around tyvm…
