Four more days. And then another year? Maybe ten?
It’s exhausting.
Apparently putting a huge number of people in jail for minor possession of a drug that is only illegal because of racist 70s politics is spotless, and doing so to support capitalizing the prison system, is spotless. I call it dehumanizing and unconstitutional, but I just care about empirical data that apparently is completely unimportant in tribalist capitalist worshiping countries like the USA.
Agree on your points, I honestly fucking hate cops and by extension prosecutors that enable and collude with them. However the only other option is worse than a pig.
I don’t count “spotless prosecutorial record” as a win, but given the two viable choices I’ll take it over “shockingly successful fascist demagogue” every time, and twice on Sundays.
A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.
They’re not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.
It’s only them and God in the voting booth. What’s stopping them?
I think you answered yourself with the question. Someone better with words could make an OK joke out of it.
Spotless record? Could you simp any harder?
Kamala has a crimal record?
If we lived in a just country she would.
…and then, all of a sudden, Democrats started loving overzealous DAs who would do anything to put black men in prison.
You not only need to vote for the candidate of their choice, you also need to match whatever they pick. Yey! Democracy!
Enter to win!
Prices included: " new president!"
Rules:
-Pick whoever you want
-If the electoral college picks the person you picked, then congratulations! You picked the winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆!
-if the electoral college picks someone else, then congratulations! You got a different president than the one you picked because your vote is worthless!
Yey! Democracy!
But do go vote, this is just a sarcastic comment about the stupid way we pick…the electoral college picks presidents for us like kings. The rest of the ballot is full of things that you do actually vote for, like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc. Only the presidential election is not actually your thing. The rest of it is probably more important anyway so who cares if the electoral college picks Mexico’s president to be our president. They could pick Kim Jung Un, but our president is usually a lame duck anyway the entire time due to the Republican party cock blocking their every move…like your student loans! Remember those? The fucking republican party block all attempts so far. But again, don’t worry about it, it’s not our thing. Let’s let the electoral college to worry about it.
That’s not at all how the EC works.
The rest of the ballot is full of things […] like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc.
Maybe OT, but I’ve been watching a lot of voting advice on twitter, reddit, etc this year, and whenever someone mentions how important it is to get educated about your local options on the ballot, they get a flood of comments accusing them of encouraging people to abstain from voting or to vote 3rd party. It appears to be one limb of an aggressive anti-vote apathy or disinfo campaign.
I’m sure pretending the blue candidate isn’t complicit in genocide is a great strategy to convincing more voters.
Unfortunately we are in the same position with both candidates. You can’t be President of the US and have clean hands
True but the meme claims “spotless record” which is not true
I guess when both candidates have “Genocide Participant” credits it no longer matters to compared that specific item.
Say that back to yourself out loud, and see if it still sounds right.
Disarming Israel is not on the ballot. I wish it were, but we are where we are. Comparing the candidates on issues where they do differ significantly makes the decision pretty easy.
What for? There are absolutely no real options to avoid the Israel/Palestine conflict. So as an adult who understands that there are some things I can and cannot influence I move on to those I can influence.
One candidate is leagues above the other.
Anyone who says “well your candidate will be bad for Israel/Palestine” is being disingenuous because both will suck. Thats bait and a distraction.
Going 3rd party or abstaining from voting are both stupid approaches.

a bit ridiculous to mention here since the alternative wants to unleash the fucking military on US citizens.
Biden made it legal for military personnel to use lethal force on American civilians… Maybe Harris doesn’t care. But Biden and Trump seem to both like the idea of killing citizens with the military.
No, he really didn’t. First of all, that would have to be done by congress. Second of all, the changes made were to rules within the military itself, and they did the exact opposite. Further restrictions were put in on how the military command structure would authorize engagements related to exceptions that have always been part of the Posse Comitatus Act. You were either fooled by the right wing spin machine, or you are part of it.
You’re right I’ve gone and checked. It wasn’t a new thing just clarifying that to use lethal force would require the secretary of defenses approval.
Little clarifying language changes are common it’s true.
sure bb they will both do the same thing, and putin will announce his gay love interest
Generalizations about any group is stupid.
Neither is a cop?
My Mexican immigrant coworker believes that if Kamala gets elected that immigrants will be deported but also immigrants are getting too much free money and food stamps and things like that. He really has bought into some kind of weird belief that Donald Trump is a better candidate. He can’t vote because he’s not a citizen. I think he’s just pissed off because he works two jobs and sees people who get free stuff and don’t come here legally as lazy.
The electoral college picks the president. Not you. You’re a “migrant” labeled “citizen”. You can influence the election if you happen to walk by an actual elector and get a chance to talk to him… Tell him about your student loans, your fear of putin, the homeless, you two jobs just to pay the mortgage, etc. they’ll understand and vote the way you would vote if you were an actual elector… don’t you worry migrant!
Yey! Democracy!
Trying to combine immigrants in your first sentence is so disingenuous. Here’s what makes it clear:
Legal Immigrants are different than illegal immigrants. Of course your coworker is pissed off that he’s come here legally and is not getting rewarded for it. Whether the ones who come illegally are lazy or not doesn’t make a difference. They shouldn’t be given anything we currently give them. We have veterans dying in the streets getting nothing. Everyone should be mad about it.
What you’re saying is not precisely true. To register for food stamps, well, you need to be registered. Likewise for other forms of welfare.
Illegal immigrants are not coming to this country and living off of welfare. That is not happening.
But even if it was, are you seriously going to tell me that the solution to that is to kick those immigrants out? To round them up in camps? That’s not going to help homeless veterans.
People like you will either believe in stupid arguments or talk in bad faith, and then not actually support welfare or UBI at all.
Illegal immigrants aren’t getting money and services through our usual welfare program, but nice try implying that’s what we’re claiming.
And yes, kick out the ones here illegally. Not sure where you’re getting camps from, just move them out. Then we need to redirect sources to Americans that need it and we need to make sure those are being spent properly and not disappearing into bureaucratic pockets.
It takes resources to “round them up and kick them out.” Resources that could instead be spent on the Americans that need it.
You do realize how just morally corrupt and insane that logic is right? We spend trillions as a country, you’re upset that immigrants might get something when our veterans program is still lacking. You are fighting over crumbs and upset at other crumb eaters instead of the elite being the ones only giving out crumbs. There are valid arguments and suggested tactics to help BOOST the economy with programs that can help veterans, immigrants, and includes social safety nets for all people. The distraction that “They’re Stealing Your Crumbs!tm” helps stop any progress and keeps the boogeyman so voters can be scared into submission.
We need immigrants to help a flailing economy thanks to the baby boomer population (immigrants help us economically!, it’s a statistical fact!). Immigrants also have lower crime rates than typical groups of people born here. Housing the homeless is cheaper than arresting them, ER visits (because no preemptive healthcare) are most expensive, ETC ETC. All the fear mongering is just lies, don’t believe the hatred and look into it yourself so you’re not spreading misinformation.

I just love how the political discourse went from “should we have healthcare for all? (circa 2016)”, to “they took our jobs! (circa southpark 2004)”.
Spotless is a gross way to describe her career as a prosecutor.
Is it a spot if you grab someone who isn’t your favorite wife by the pussy?
How do you grab your own wife by the pussy? Like do you just go for it over whatever she’s wearing? Do you pull down her panties to actually grab her by the vagina?
What’s the proper vagina grab? Like do you apply pressure upwards and pull …nah that would slip easy! It’s a vagina, it’s got slime on it if you get near it. Nah. I think the best and most proper way is to insert one or more fingers into the vagina so you can pull.
I hope our president can tell us how to properly and legally grab women by the vagina. Maybe it will be a national sport one day… imagine a team of say 6 couples on each side, the get arranged like in football, except that they must be copulating. The goal is to walk around the field…full of couches and rugs and Lego bricks from the kids … And grab one of the opposite team’s women by the pussy. Each couple who’s woman gets grabbed by the pussy is automatically disqualified and has to exit the field. Extra points during sudden death if you can doggy or spit roast the guy.
Thank God Trump figured out how to grab them all by the pussy for us all. Right? 👍
Did the meme mention trump being spotless? Because I don’t think it did. He’s scum. Doesn’t make Harris spotless just less spotty
You didn’t sing this. I’m onto you “TrueTomBombadil.”
I’ll admit when I first started using the name I tried to write my comments sing songy but by the time I made it to Lemmy I was too lazy
It all depends how you define a spot. Particularly the same spot test should be applied to both candidates.
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, Harris isn’t perfect but with Trump on the other side not much is required of her to be the best option.
Harris is far worse than Trump. Her record includes extending peoples prison sentences for cheap labor to fight fires. Jailing parents of truant kids. Laughing about smoking weed herself after imprisoning people for it. Most of the people she kept behind bars are black.
You know what trump did? He gave permanent funding to HBC colleges. His First Step act reversed Biden’s Crime Bill that targeted black people. He also created a way for criminals to rejoin society after they finish their sentencing.
Trump separated children from parents and locked them in cages. The majority of these children still haven’t been returned to their parents.
He tried to illegally ban entire races from entering the country.
He elected judges to the supreme Court that over turned Roe v Wade, which is resulting in the death of pregnant women who can no longer receive life saving medical care.
He made Secret Service Agents rent rooms at hotels he owns, funneling money from the government into his own businesses.Trump refused the peaceful transfer of power
Lied that the election was stolen (and has never presented any evidence and his lawyers admitted in court that they have no evidence)
Encouraged an attempted insurrection
Idolizes dictators
Stated he wants to be a dictator Day 1
Wants people who oppose him to get shot…Oh, but some colleges got some funding so I guess that balances it out.
.ml coming with the chuckles!
Seriously, when is your Netflix special?
Just ignore him he’s too far gone.
*her *she’s
If someone from .ml is saying Harris is worse than Trump, well then it must be true! Everyone knows to listen to the opinion of people who have been banned from communities for being fascist…
Thank you for giving us more reason to vote for Harris!
Ha. Haha. Hahaha hahaha. Oh man, thanks for the laugh.
I mean, these are proven things he did. You can laugh but it doesn’t change the fact that these things happened
350,831 Covid deaths in 2020 alone, 40% preventable with a competent response. Nominating 3 SCOTUS judges that ensured Roe being repealed and stripping away women’s bodily automomy in 21 states. But sure, Harris is an evil c***, right? I could go on with how horrible he was but of course, you won’t care. Cruelty is the point.
So you’re rooting for Trump then? Okay, fascist.
I did vote for him, and you can call me fascist all you want, that word no longer has power behind it. I’m not fascist, trump isn’t fascist, most of his voters aren’t fascist.
Fascists exist, they’re just not in any way the majority.
I’ll go as far to say she’s a huge piece of shit that smells less bad than trump but you’re still working with a turd
Care to elaborate? Strong words but it’s not really obvious to me what you could be referring to.
“Pedophile” is missing from the trump one…
It appears a good chunk really loves the racism thingy
It shouldn’t be, but I feel like this is such a delicate thing.
Like, Trump is obviously racist, but his base sees themselves in him and when he is labeled racist, it projects to them; they’re labeled racist too. They “know” they aren’t racist and it’s a strong accusatory word along the lines of being called a pedophile and that instantly brings up defenses and basically kills any chance of swaying their opinion. Besides, if we were wrong calling “them” (their projection from trump) racist, how could we possibly be right about calling Trump racist?
Should we give a shit what these people think? Really wish we didn’t have to, but the world isn’t fair and just enough at the moment to disregard the nuance here.
I might not leave the country, but I’ll have to leave my state. I wonder if next Friday after work I’ll need to load up everything I can fit in my car and drive as far north as possible. It’s terrifying that my rights as a transgender human vanish will vanish overnight where I live. I’ve heard of bounties in Odessa.
Knowing that most of the people I live and work around are happily voting for a child rapist has broken my brain. The folks protesting at the Planned Parenthood (abortion is already illegal here) are going to vote for a man that’s probably paid for multiple abortions. It’s a sickness I can’t fathom.
It’s optimistic of you to assume we’ll know the outcome by next Friday. Republicans are going to turn the whole election into a circus if they possibly can.
Its sickening what is happening to this country, that you even feel the need to flee in such a way, but it is a realistic concern. There are people who very much want carte blanche to harm trans people, and if Trump is elected they may get that cover, its vile.
It’s so bizarre that it’s a warzone but just for the category you’re in. For now, anyway. Ugh.
❤️
fully agree. hope you don’t have to move… but for some miraculous incomprehensible reason the race is a statistical tie
Undecided voters are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.
I disagree. Trumpers are definitely worse.
say what you want about the tenets of trumpism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos!
(jokes aside I am no contact now with any of my relatives who expresses any pro trump support. I’m trans and fuck you, fam!)
Is it though? I think it’s more of a cult than an ethos. Trump could do a complete 180 on any number of issues and most of his cult wouldn’t even notice.
it’s just a line from The Big Lebowski with the word trumpism swapped for National Socialism, i was not being serious at all.

Apparently you’re a nazi if you vote for either, so you should just not vote
- totally not an astroturfer
