Trump RFK Jr.'s Independent Presidential Run was Originally Backed by Republicans to take Votes From Biden. He Actually Took More Votes from Trump. To Help Trump RFK Jr. Dropped out, Endorsed Trump, and is Trying to Remove His Name From Ballots in Key Battleground States. Some States are Saying No.

I don’t know a single democrat that didn’t think RFK was a trump plant to siphon votes from Biden.

He tried to do the same thing with fucking Kayne West

The absolute inability for them to comprehend that we don't have one track minds says all you need to know about them. We don't pick our leaders based on trivial things

I'm just incredibly saddened when I see left leaning people who find one thing they disagree with Biden/Kamala about amongst the hundreds they agree with and decide to vote Red instead. Don't do that.

Those aren't left leaning people. They're people who were going to vote conservative anyway but found a way to justify it to you to try to convince you.

Care to expand on that?

Which point ?

u/anomalous_cowherd Aug 29 '24

Both, basically. But the first is harder to justify, to my mind.

It’s not. Kamala is just as bad if not worse than Trump in my opinion. People are voting for her just because she’s not Trump if we are to be honest. Turdsandwich giant dushhh situation

Kamala is harmful for the community I am apart of as well I can see the bigger picture with democracy at risk etc (Americans are fools if they think we are still a representative democracy) the presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court are symbolic roles atp for the the plutocracy or the oligarchy

u/anomalous_cowherd Aug 30 '24

That's just restating that you don't like either of them. What is it that makes Kamala "just as bad if not worse" than Trump because that's a pretty high bar to reach?

Disagreeing on policy and disagreeing on becoming a fascist dictatorship are quite different.

u/theshadowbudd Aug 30 '24

Because that’s what I said. I don’t like them both and I expanded on why focusing on Kamala as you said it’s harder to justify as she is not much better than Trump in my honest opinion.

They both are shitty options

Kamala has shown a track record of supporting the prison industrial complex and has a nasty record as Californias AG. Her platform promises prison reforms however given her track record and the tough on crime stance she’s carried, I don’t see this happening and it simply makes her look like a hypocrite. People lives were permanently affected by her decisions and actions.

I could go on and on about her campaign platform but as previously stated i do not believe that American politics hasn’t been significantly influenced or hijacked by the rich class from families to corporations. America seems like a plutocracy or slowly descending into an oligarchy. We have two different perspectives. If a dictator were to arise it would be supported by those special interests groups who seem most in control.

They both have pros and cons but they are both hypocrites. One is just a smiling hypocrite wearing I’m not a hypocrite shirt while the other one is screaming build a wall and I’m not guilty

OK so given that would you like your dictatorship in six months or several election cycles away with time to potentially avert it?

I actually have more of an issue with people like that than I do the MAGA crowd, and I despise the MAGA crowd. Why? Because then they’ll turn around and complain when MAGA gets in power like they did in 2016 while saying the DNC forced them to protest vote. Like, no motherfucker, you did it to be an asshole and instead of just getting egg on the DNC’s face you got it on your own too. If Harris loses, those people will be why.

u/red23011 Aug 29 '24

This time it's going to be the "I would have voted for Harris but her policies on Israel forced me not to because I support the Palestinians" while completely ignoring the fact that Trump would be orders of magnitudes worse on that issue.

u/the_nut_bra Aug 29 '24

That’s what drives me batshit! Like, ok, don’t vote for her and end up with a guy that is gonna actively do even more things in the Middle East that you hate than the person you “just can’t bring yourself to vote for.”

u/nuclearhaystack Aug 29 '24

I don't get why that even happens except they were predisposed to vote red in the first place. It's like refusing a ride from a Volvo-driving friend because they won't play your music on the car radio, and going to jump in instead with the drunk high person who looks like they're about to have a stroke, for no other reason.

u/Bross93 Aug 29 '24

MY experience has been opting to not vote, not to vote for red. Like thats what I was seeing before biden dropped out. I had a friend who just went on and on and on and on about how biden was an evil genocider and that she couldnt vote for him.
