Remember this shit? Fucking vote.

President Donald Trump stood in front of the White House press corps on Tuesday afternoon and vented.

What was billed as a press conference rapidly turned into a quasi-campaign event, with the President of the United States free-associating about his general election opponent, the state of the country and the media. Even by Trump standards, it was a shocking performance – suggesting a level of volatility and unpredictability that has to terrify Republicans trying to run and win campaigns while sharing the same ballot with Trump in November.

  1. “That basically means no windows, no nothing. It’s very hard to do. I tell people when they want to go into some of these buildings, how are your eyes because they won’t be good in five years.”
  1. “But you can’t make a left anymore and come into the United States loaded up with human traffic.”

      Hmm old dude or actual fascist that’s going to enact The Handmaid’s Tale irl (among other deplorable things)

        Swapping one fascist for another isnt the solution. Repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results is shit. I’m not persuading anyone not to vote, I’m saying you dont have to vote for either POS fascist.

          Not American. Boden isn’t a fascist. There is a difference between incompetent and maybe senile on one hand and incompetent, senile, corrupt, a felon and a fascist on the other.

          I’ve seen a lot of your comments around here, you’re just a “boTHSiDeS” MAGAt in a trenchcoat

          I’m not persuading anyone not to vote

          I’m saying you dont have to vote for either POS fascist.

          You literally admitted it in the same sentence, a vote for “neither” is effectively a non-vote and a non-vote is effectively a vote for Trump

          There’s a lot to not like about Biden, but he is NO fascist, not even close. Trump is literally spouting fascist ideals. Last I checked, Biden isnt compiling a list of political enemies to have incarcerated/executed. That’s a literal component of fascism.

          Made a quick glance at your post history, do try to convince us that your not here to astroturf.

          In addition, non-vote is not a vote against what you believe is the greater evil. This has been a zero-sum game for decades, non-participants dont matter. (That means you and your opinions if you dont show up, spoil your ballot for all we care, but participate and dont discourage others from doing so).

            These Russian astroturfers have been increasing in numbers and intensity.

            Putin is getting desperate. More so than before.

            I see them both as the greater evil. The idea of ‘lesser evil’ has grown to accept senile incompetence as a viable option in politics.

      I absolutely love it when you folks so clearly identify yourselves. I put a very humorous trump tag on you in Lemmy and now you stick out like a sore thumb everywhere you post and I will not even have to read your post to know exactly who you are.

      I’d encourage everyone else to do the same.

        What part of ‘other’ sounds like I support trump? Assuming everyone is either Democrat or Republican is binary and it prevents actual progress
