I'm just going to respond to everything with the rapist with 34 felonies has dementia and is too old, he needs to drop out, he has no chance to win.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Why does the party of 'law and order' support a 34x convicted felon over a former prosecutor?"

Call out the party of criminals and make them fall over themselves trying to square that circle.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

They dropped the law and order part when Dementia Don started racking up charges.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Dont forget to add his actual age for better illustration.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Well Johnson is already trying to argue that it might be illegal for anyone other than Biden to be on the ticket.

So I'll definitely be ignoring that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The convention wasn't held, he was not nominated. He can release his delegates at any time. Anyone arguing otherwise has no idea how our democracy functions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That won't matter to the rabid MAGA mob.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That's OK, they don't matter either. They were never going to vote Dem. They just support their Führer and that's all that matters to them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

This is an official act, Biden has absolute immunity.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Sounds good to me

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i mean i’ve been ignoring Biden’s garbage capitulation to the false framing that immigrants are doing crime and rapes en masse and that this is a serious concern.

i’m gonna ignore it into the future but i’ve been ignoring it too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Was more or less talking about the rhetoric around the candidate switch. Trying to gauge where they are going to land.

For example:

"Harris is somehow worse"

"The democrats are weak"

"Trump beat biden into submission"

Etc.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

It takes strength to admit when you're wrong.

I'm glad that Democrats finally mustered some.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

ah my bad. don’t have an answer to that question at this time.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Kamala is not American" is coming.

She spent several years in Canada, so we have Canadian yearbook photos. And if conservatives can say Barack Obama is not American, and anti-immigrant sentiment is rising, they will definitely do it about her.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Thats 2008 Republicans. 2024 Republicans won't try to veil their racism.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What will I be ignoring? All of it. That shit hasn't changed.

This is the easiest election ever. Maybe tied with 2020. One of the candidates is a convicted felon, known predator, and a misogynistic, racist fascist. That's not rhetoric, that shit is all on the record.

I'm voting for any candidate who is not that person. Doesn't matter what any of the rhetoric is.

If people go straight to discrediting Harris it'll just show they were never going to be happy regardless of who was nominated.

I had reservations about Biden but I was still gonna vote for him, and I have reservations about Harris but I'm still gonna vote for her if nominated.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

The big one I've been noticing from my dad and conservative speeches is

"Kamala is lazy"

"She's just there to get a check"

"She doesn't do anything"

Like... Just say welfare queen. You don't even have to pronounce the silent N. We know what you mean.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oof, that's disgusting. Just to see that's where his mind goes immediately.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry they'll let you know they aren't racist. In fact they will be so helpful in telling you that you are the real racist for calling them racist./s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"look, I'm not racist, but...."

Dude if you have to start your sentence like that, yes you fucking are.

Libs being mad at leftists that they made up to get mad at.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

If by "left" and "right" you mean Democrats and Republicans respectively, then I'm going to ignore all their rhetoric to the best of my ability just as I have been. I'm not interested in anything even remotely resembling either programme.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Literally all of it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

They're still rambling about Hilary; they'll still ramble about Biden.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Hurrdurrdurrgurbleblugdurrdurr

Stuff like that

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Their response has been the standard MAGA playbook, that of a 12 year old trash talking on Xbox Live. “Kamala is a joke too!!! 🥴”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

"Joe would have won. Just ignore the:

  • lack of vision
  • collapsing support in Michigan because of Gaza
  • signs of obvious mental decline
  • every interview feels like visiting the old folks home
  • campaigning at half speed"

The next conspiracy theory

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

What were we not ignoring before?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That she's a cop. I don't like that she's a cop, but it's still better then whatever Trump would bring.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

There are so many politics communities. Post this there instead
