    If anyone is legit not going to vote because of a negative news article posted by a stranger online… they’re dumb AF.

      You’ve been here a while and most have told you about how it looks time and time again.

      Either you’re the living embodiment of the Skinner “No, it’s the children who are the problem” meme or you’re a “hidden” Trumpet/Russian asset/Bot

          Then why are you so hell bent on helping Trump?

          I see we have gone with option a, living embodiment of the Skinner meme.

            I’m not a Democrat I’m not a Republican. It’s the Democrats that are starting to court Republicans even praising war criminal Cheney. Politicians should constantly be critiqued. Hold their feet to the fire.

              That’s what you fucks said about Clinton and now we have a tilted supreme court and two dead women and facing life in prison for miscarriages. Grow the fuck up.

                Maybe Hillary should have actually campaigned harder and earned more votes? Blame the candidate not the voters.

                  I blame the voters just as much. It didn’t take a genius to see why Trump winning would be catastrophic.

                You mean this Clinton?: https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/

                You grow the fuck up and understand that these politicians don’t give a shit about you and will happily sacrifice your livelihood if they can use the threat of “other guy” as a cudgel to get you to vote for them because they refuse to run on things that will actually help people since that would run counter to the wishes of their corporate masters.

                We’re seeing this in action as democrats make excuse after excuse for fully supporting a genocide. You know, genocide, which is supposed to be an unthinkable crime against humanity. Should be easy to not support genocide, right? A real slam dunk to gain supporters by pledging to stop genocide, right? Well, turns out politicians don’t care about people’s lives.

                Instead of criticizing politicians who act in this way and who actually set policy, you think it’s more fruitful to attack people on here who are likely going to vote for democrats anyway?

              You:

              Also you:

              Gurl please. There’s a million “Trump is bad” articles. Why would I post duplicates?

                    Their third post down, not counting duplicates:

                    Just because you don’t remember seeing them doesn’t mean they don’t do it. They absolutely post more about Harris than Trump but everyone pretending there’s 0 trump shit either blocked where they’re posting or are only looking at who posted something if it’s negative towards Harris and not trump

          That’s a fine thing to say, but nobody believes you because of inconsistencies in your reasoning.

      Welcome to America, where people think that Fox News is a legitimate news source because “‘news’ is right there in the name!”

      Oh, okay, glad all we needed was the smart votes and the votes from the deeply politically engaged.

      It reminds me of other instances of left purity, where somehow large swathes of voters don’t count because they’re too dirty, or something.
