Dark read, but this needs to be said. This is all for show.
For any Trump voters reading this, I challenge you to go back and find any coherent points of actual operational improvement these people talked about. Hopes and dreams don't count. Solid steps to some sort of better life was never once mentioned from any of these people.
You're being suckered. Again.
Donny stole secrets about nuclear missile subs and showed them around. If that doesn't phase these weirdos nothing will.
Worse than showing, that treasonous motherfucker sold some to the Saudis.
There was an epidemic of CIA assets all around the world getting murdered, like dozens of them, right after he had (it later emerged) asked for a bunch of classified intelligence about the identities of foreign assets.
I forgot about that part! Yeah, good recollection. So worse than the worse, Trump got our spies and agents killed. His cult is insane.

same with the Democrats none of the two parties have any plan to improve anything except the lives of the elites
we are worse off this election than last
Income inequality a trillion dollars on climate change stronger NLRB working class wages outpacing inflation, idk, what the fuck have YOU done to improve anything; definitely quite a lot less than that
our minimum wage is $7.25 not outpacing shit and since the pandemic places like walmart have dropped the start pay to $13 or lower
Biden has been a career politician for fifty years and Harris might be younger but she spent her time as career politician in the justice system using things like Biden's crime bills
what have I done? after politicians like Biden took my vote away sit back and wait for the world to change
looks like going to waiting a while longer
Sure! I'd be happy to.
Oh, and he also raised the minimum wage for federal workers to $15/hr. That doesn't really do anything; the act of congress which is needed to create a national minimum wage got stalled because of Republicans; he was limited to only economic policy things which raised the income level for working class people, not an official cap at the bottom end, which would also be a good idea yes.
Biden has paragraphs of accomplishments sure give you that
but nothing he does trickles down all the way down just stops at high middle class if that
biggest action on climate change? a national forest is being razed to train cops to suppress citizens right under his nose. has he at least been down there to assess the situation? did he mention it at the debate?
Biden's stance on cannabis is the same as nicotine vaping - regulate the hell out of it until only major corporate options and sus products are able to get to consumers
he chose a prosecutor for a vice and has a history of crime bills
what does it matter if the unemployment is low if people's jobs do not cover food and housing?
in the two places I stay the pay is below $15 an hour more times than not all the while a single bedroom apartment is over $1000
vehicle costs are astronomical between the taxes, maintenance, and insurance
people are on the edge of the cliff in this country but Biden has kept us afloat? his political career on top of Trump's donations to both parties over the years and his presidency have screwed this country
did you forget Obama and Biden's change and hope? was over 15 years ago and where are we now? backtracked more than we have gained and yes Trump did a lot of damage but he is not the sole perpetrator
but hey let all support the blue or red team because no other options exist and supporting the other options that in reality do exist is called throwing your vote away
the third parties will never win because the people allowed to vote in this country let themselves believe the two party lie
Oh brother.. I swear, if it was up to Lemmy and Reddit, we'd be a ONE party country, with ONLY liberal views...
Hahaha, you new around here captain obvious? It would be horrible if everyone were free, equal, and cared for in your opinion, wouldn't it?
So, is that what the Left is pushing now? Under "their" political views, EVERYONE would be "free, equal, and cared for"? Wow.. I didn't know that...
Progressive issues tend to poll quite well, so....yeah.
