we can no longer afford the extravagance of having two of them

Anything resembling justice for Palestine is off the table, just courting mythical never Trumpers.

I have a few never Trumper republicans in my life, you know who they voted for in 2020 and plan to vote for in 2024? Whoever the third party libertarian is, or not at all. No amount of moving right will capture these votes, it'll just depress leftwing turnout

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

All the republicans I know IRL who don't like Trump still voted for him in 2016 and 2020. They will likely vote for him again in 2024, saying nonsense such as "I don't like the guy. But he's getting things done."

They will never vote for a democrat. The only thing worse than an incompetent buffoon in their minds are bleeding heart liberals.

Certified Hindenburg moment

This Hitler guy sure is a bad egg but if we let him take Austria what's the worst that can happen? He takes two Austrias?

People's problem with Biden is that he's too far left and radical. Don't worry, Kamala is correcting course

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

One of the newest Kamala ads highlights all the Republicans that have come out and endorsed her and they even put a number on it. Something like 100-111 Republicans. They play a small clip from Liz Cheney's endorsement along with highlighting that high ranking armed forces and intelligence agency ghouls have also come out to endorse her. Shit is just dripping with fascism. This is the "lesser of two evils".

Voooting works, trust me! Just one more vooot, that'll do all sorts of harm reduction!

The weirdos who think John McCain was a saint and the completely hypothetical "moderate conservative" who can be tempted into voting for Kamala.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

John McCain had some cool moments. Like that time what he blew up a US aircraft carrier and took a couple hundred imperialists out of the war. or when he crashed in the jungle and got captured and admitted to the criminal nature of the US occupation.

Also when he died

It was pretty funny that his brain decided to fight him to the death and the brain won

This picture will never not be funny to me

Bidens problem was that he just wasn't bipartisan enough.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

I watched the terrifying Christian dominionist "film" The Trump Prophecy a couple of years ago. Every single character in the narrative portion of the movie says "I'm not Trump's biggest fan, but..." and then goes on to talk about how his election is a promise from God. The titular prophecy begins: "The Spirit of God says I've chosen this man Donald Trump for such a time as this. For as Benjamin Netanyahu is to Israel, so shall this man be to the United States of America, for I will use this man to bring honor, respect and restoration to America."

Harris thinks those people can be won over.

I know this is the most tired of tropes but ... Wiemar liberals reborn.
