I get it. He’s old, he’s on the “wrong side” of Israel/Palestine, etc. Doesn’t fucking matter. It’s a binary choice, you got Brandon or you got trump. And if you can’t accept that stark reality, you’re probably too stupid to impose your opinion on others.

Know who else is on the wrong side of the Israel/Palestine conflict? No matter who wins, Palestinians lose, because a Trump administration will absolutely let the IDF go gloves off.

The real problem here is that the majority of voting Americans have been manipulated by narrow interests to support the wrong side. Fucking idiots and their fairy tales.

The real real problem is the millions of people who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries forcing us all into this situation today. Fuck those people.

IDF won’t have to because America will enter a hot war with Iran because Trump is an actual Zionist.

Trump will enter such a situation because he wants to build a resort somewhere for money laundering purposes, not because he is beholden to any specific faith or idealogy.

Trump is literally out there quoting Hitler. He is not a Zionist, not even in the Christian Nationalist “we need Israel to exist to start the Rapture” kind of Zionist.

That’s not the lesson learned by Trump winning. The learned lesson would be Joe Biden isn’t enough like Trump and the democrats need to be further right to win.

So they can recruit more conservatives?

What makes you think a significant number of people who voted for Trump will ever consider voting for a democrat?

There are so many MAGAtrumpers here with the “gEnOciDE jOe” nonsense that are seemingly unaware that their believed king will do the exact same thing, only with him- they get a side-order of bigotry, racism, oppression, tyranny, and cowardice.

I hope you will all be happy with your lateral move on this single-issue decision. Because YOU will be who gets the blame when Trump wins the throne.

Maga people don’t say that. It’s the progressives that use “Genocide Joe”. Democrats: We will support Israel. Republicans: Gaza will be a parking lot. Progressives: The two main options are the same but worded differently.

Trump has supporters because the nominees he ran against are garbage.

Trump was able to cause Jan 6 because enough people who hate Democrats kept getting Republican nominees pushed in to take over the Judicial and Executive branches. Trump is a symptom and the Democrats are not the solution.

Yup. Trump is polling way too well for anyone to treat this as a typical election where common sense wins the day.

Many voting blocs apparently can no longer see the plain, stupifyingly obvious lies, fascism and narcissism dripping from every speech he has given for the last 8 years. We’re slow-walking to the end of American democracy.

This election year will be exhausting for us all, but if there’s ever a time to put everything into it, it’s now and it’s this election.

Relying on the anti-Trump vote is pretty ineffectual with an anti-Biden vote growing.

I was going to say this, the way Biden is handling the border crisis is turning a lot of NYC, Chicago, and Denver voters off (and more, those are just hit pretty hard lately.) EDIT: Check out the mayor of NYC’s polling numbers. They are the lowest since polling began. It is the worst administration in NYC’s history because of the migrant crisis handling. I can confirm with links but not sure what good that would do if people have made up their own minds.

There is no border crisis. It’s a made up story by Fox News. Really it’s just business as usual down there. Billions of dollars of legal commerce flowing across every day.

Are you suggesting that CBP is lying about numbers? The data is there, 350k+ encounters in the last 7 days. Unless Customs and Border Patrol is a wing of Fox News. I swear it’s so easy for people to just flippantly say “the other side!” while ignoring the truth.

Those are all areas in states that are safe Democratic in the Electoral College. It’s worse if it turns off Democrats in swing states who may not show up on election day.

What’s he doing with the border crisis? I thought abetting the genocide is the bigger factor in his dropping approval rating.

Without commenting on the situation itself, I feel like sentiments toward it might indeed be hurting his numbers now but won’t have any significant impact 22 months from now. American voters have short memories when it comes to things that don’t materially affect them.

Oh yeah. The border crisis. That’s the real kicker.

So many 2020 voters picked Biden for his border commitments.
