#Trump Drop

[still-searching-for-something]

[nothorses]

my dad's girlfriend- who is generally a conservative and who "doesn't really get into politics"- told me tonight that she learned about project 2025 & is going to vote in this election to try to help prevent Trump from getting into office. and that she's gonna try to convince my dad to vote (also for the first time ever) to do the same.

what I'm saying is I think we should keep talking about this.

Can we go one fucking weekend without a huge, possibly historic and life altering event occurring

I never much liked Biden, for many reasons, but honestly the fact that he's about to no longer be president fills me with a dread so profound I can barely handle it.

"The average American citizen is not smart."

"The average American citizen does not keep up with politics."

Both said by my dad. Boy was he right, holy shit😭

Sounds like the DNC fully alienated the pro-Palestinian voting contingent. Combined with RFK jr. endorsing Trump and getting the right-wing crazies all on the same page, I imagine that's the election in the bag for him.

anon are you high

Das sage ich lieber nur auf Deutsch. Aber. Die amerikanische Endorsement-Kultur ist irgendwie eine extreme Clownerei.

BIDEN'S OUT

Look man, Biden was good on a lot of things, and horrible on a lot of things. I've been rather straightforward with all of that, and with how I'd still have voted for him to prevent a Fascist Republican takeover.

But Joe Biden was polling double digits beneath local democrats. He endorsed Kamala Harris, who is her own bag of problems.

But she was also vocally the most anti-Netanyahu/Pro-Palestine person in the room, has enough verve to mobilize disaffected democrats behind being a Black/Indian Woman for President, and will likely take every opportunity to pillory Trump in any debate that's held.

And have the wherewithal to actually fucking campaign.

I said months ago that I would love to vote for anyone other than Biden who had a chance of winning the election agaisnt Trump. Now I do.

Hell yes.

now that biden has dropped out, it’s more important than ever to get out and vote BLUE. no matter who the democratic candidate is, trump will be worse and third party is NOT an option right now bc the country is in shambles. vote blue, buy some time, and improve the circumstances for the next election.

remember, the old people are coming out in hordes to vote, while much of the youth is still undecided. and the elderly are WAY more likely to be conservative plus trump already has a cult -following. if you don’t vote blue, you are voting for donald trump and jd vance

and another reminder: single-issue voting is a mark of extreme privilege. you gotta take what you can get right now, and not voting or voting out of spite is NOT the answer. trump on average is worse than the worst dems.
