I think I’d bet money I did, in fact.

Odds even better from a brand-spankin’ new 1-month-old account, LOL. Got that classic false equivalence both sides wedge-driving scent, even!

Looks, Acts, Quacks, Helps a Republican!

Must be a Republican.

Slava Ukraini ;)

Found the Republican.

Register. Vote Dem. Give maga the boot.

I also truly hope the uncommitted No Vote / Third Party voters complicit in his election (I think I’ll call them Maga-lite at this point) have learned a thing or two since last election, too.

Register and Vote Democrat come November. Vote in Dem primaries right now if you want to alter the composition of the Democratic banner.

Survivorship bias. Right-wing propaganda. These people, they’re not deep thinkers.

I can’t speak for Romania specifically but I’m sure it’s like anywhere and especially America – there is no such thing as a merit-based society / meritocracy, flaws with that alone aside.

Decent attempt at gaslighting but not going to work.

Yes or no: no-voters and third-party voters contributed to the situation we’re in, and in the same way these same groups claimed Biden was complicit in genocide, so too are these no-voters and third-party voters complicit on the worsening crisis in Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, the deaths from ICE and BP, and of course OP’s current subject regarding the US Forest Service (leaving aside climate change regression).

It’s okay if the own up to their catastrophic blunder, so long as they don’t repeat it going forward.

Putin and Xi along with Bibi can all fuck off; agreed?

Nah. This is completely incorrect and your boldfaced assumption as to this reason is why we lost. False Equivalence botherism needs to be put to rest. Harris was better in literally every way. The only reason, and I mean the only reason fools fell for it was because of billionaires, and foreign dictators from Bibi to Putin helping to put their thumb on the scale.

What’s so odd and outright fallacious about this line of reasoning is to suggest that the Democratic candidate must be perfect, and not just simply and obviously better than the binary alternative choice.

Absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Are you sure you didn’t misunderstand my comment?

Russo-Asian toe-sucker at worst.

Like, what does this mean? That you believe I’m an apologist for them, or… ?

Who said anything about democrat voters? Kudos to Democrat voters who voted Harris!

These are No-Voting couch sitter and Third-Party voters, after all.

It takes numerous factions acting as blocks to build beyond the finish-line, and those couch-sitters and third-party voters were one missing block contributing to the colossal fuck-up. Time to wise up before November elections, and 2028 – lest the gullible suckers fall for the right-wing wedge-driving kool-aid yet again. This is thus not so re-litigating the past insomuch as learning from past mistakes and evolving moving forward so as not to repeat history in a cycle of insanity.

You agree you’ll support and vote Democrat over this fascist regime then and advocate others who try to sit on the couch or vote third party to do the same given your comment, correct?

It’s okay. If I understand right, this doesn’t matter ‘cuz some combination of Her Laugh and Gaza trump literally anything and all else, combined or something.

Or wait, are we now on the, “Dems would’ve done this too!1!”?

Edit: I take it tankies from .ml didn’t like that hefty dose of sarcasm.

From one human to another, yes I feel valued within my family. Beyond that? Not so much.

Feels somewhat trivial but this matters at least for me for ensuring elections remain fair as these are controlled state by state.

Certainly not, but seems this Admin is attempting a speed-run for a new record in both quantity and severity.

With this Trump-appointed crooked SCOTUS and the Trump-appointed crooked US Attorney General, combined with the fact we are not signatories to the ICC? I’m going to sadly say yes.

So very Russian.

They are betting on there being no midterms, or provoking a 9/11 type attack and rallying support before then.

I think red hats will follow whatever bait billionaires dangle in front of them. It only takes a little meeting among the puppeteers to decide whom to start promoting, and then they’ll all fall in line like good little pawns. They fall for it every single time, this much I know. If they can fall for Bush Jr., for Trump, then the next person will be no different. In fact, they’ll just go, “You guys said Trump was a clown with the bronzer! Look how refined and sophisticated JD Vance is! He’s even a pretty good debater and just speaks facts that you don’t like!”

The only way out of this I see is to drive a wedge between billionaire oligarchs and this administration. Seems like a smart move.

He’s way smarter though, at least rhetorically to the median electorate as a psychopath anyway. We all thought the same of Trump back in 2015 too.

When the billionaires make their pivot, and you can tell they’re already setting up the chess pieces for a post-Trump era, watch how suddenly they promote Vance or some other shithead
