They actually tend not to vote when it actually comes down to it. Trump was actually a bit of an exception because he was viewed almost fanatically.

If students ever actually bothered, the left would probably win pretty much all of the time. And this is a problem in many countries, not just the United States.

The right will always prioritize the old population (aka direct their propaganda mostly at them) because they know, for whatever reason, younger people don’t vote.

What do you mean, exactly? That Trump will be going to prison or face some other justice that he’ll actually notice? Based on everything we’ve experienced so far, he’s going to slide through this thing like a greased pig and twice as ugly.

He added: “This is what many on the left will do, they’ll take a clip of that and they will run with it and, all of a sudden, the statement that is that you want to ‘kill everybody’ or whatever. We all know that’s not what you meant to get across.”

Fuck these gaslighting pieces of shit

That’s all the man said! He gave a list of people, and then said he wanted to kill them. It’s not like he was giving a review of the Barbie movie and anecdotally said that sometimes he has dark thoughts. He said he wants to kill anyone who doesn’t support Trump.

“How dare the left use things that the right says and does against them! Doesn’t the left know that they are supposed to only say flattering things about the right as they sit and get bulldozed? The nerve of the left pointing out the things we are actually saying and doing!”

This is literally what that douchenozzle did on stage a few years ago. I’m forgetting who it was but he said “the only good Democrat is a dead one” and then immediately had to backpedal saying “I mean politically dead, you know they’ll take that out of context.”

Sorry fucko but the audience cheered like crazy to your bullshit BEFORE you backpedaled.

Off-topic but how would you quote text like this? I’m using Voyager

It should just use markdown, so a right chevron (>) at the beginning of a new line. Like this.

I’d like to add a word to this and that word is “Branding” there’s probably better words.

Trump in the Republicans are Masters at branding, every nuance discussion a Democrat wants to have, these Republicans have a three-word phrase designed to create Boogeyman.

Stop the steel, groomers, lock her up, build a wall, taxation is theft, and so many more.

I don’t think they’re lunatics, I know they are. It’s plainly observable.

Ask a democrat what they want and they say affordable healthcare, housing, education, social mobility, better work hours and wages; you know, better quality of life in general.

Ask a republican what they want and they’ll say 'hurkdydurk I’m ‘onna kill me some lib’rals durrr’ like this guy. I literally think he may have drooled on himself while slurring that sentence out.

If someone tells you they want to kill you, believe them.

Since this kind of rhetoric always leads to violence, please stay safe out there, and don’t be hesitant to report harassment.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
