    “I still can’t figure out how he got in the first time”

    Easy. He was propped up by democrats, namely Hillary Clinton.

    If we reach a point 40 years from now when your choice is between a dem supporting 5 genocides and a republican supporting 10 genocides, are you still going to be militantly democrat and lash out at leftists who are sick of the whole thing?

      Nope. I’ve stated this in multiple posts on other platforms, this is my last time going with this “lesser of two evils” bullshit. Because at some point, we HAVE to believe that it is intentional. I mean, what happened to “fool me once…”?

      In this hypothetical we wouldn’t have the option to vote 40 years from now because dim bulbs allowed an insurrectionist to be elected. Donald will also accelerate climate fuckery so anyway we’ll be too busy squabbling over what meager food comes out of the remaining arable regions.

        Purely hypothetical question for you: Would you rather continue supporting Israel or see Biden win the 2024 election?

          Enjoy the extra genocide Donald “Muslim ban” Trump brings to the conflict and starts up locally. You guys really want him to “finish the job,” huh?

          That’s pretty repugnant IMO, but people like you are privileged enough to watch from afar as others lose their rights and their lives.

            By not answering the question and participating in the process of this hypothetical choice the outcome is Israel is supported and Joe Biden loses the 2024 election.

      You think you will still be able to vote in 40 years if Donald “dictator for a day” Trump gets elected this time?

      Oh my sweet summer child. Your vote will be as meaningful as the ones in Russia.

        So if a Trump presidency means the end of democracy in America, why hasn’t Trump been outlawed?

        Why is Biden focusing on banning TikTok instead of truth social? Why weren’t the courts getting stacked 2 years ago? Why are the democrats’ obsession with “precedent” and “civility” taking more primacy than outlawing a candidate who, by their own admission, would mean the end of democracy?

        By propping up Trump, the democrats have effortlessly oriented you such that you now give blind support to a genocidal regime. You’ve given the democrats a blank check. The democrats would rather lose to Trump and usher in fascism than shift left in the slightest way (halting genocide).

        Also, epic reddit catchphrase my good sir. I tip my hat you, for you are a gentleman and a scholar.
