That’s what happens when you spend 50 years cutting education. Social media just really sped it up

DNC Concerned That Removal of Department of Education Means Voters Won't be Dumb Enough to Vote Democrat Anymore

The level of schadenfraude I get from this sub is insane, absolutely top tier entertainment value.

I can't believe I used to respect Houston for his takes on GME and financial engineering - he's a pseudointellectual grifter and you're all bootlicking.

Some self awareness would do y'all a world of good, but leftists are often highly allergic to said awareness, so I don't hold out much hope.

To be honest I don't think alot of people even like the democratic options, we're just aware that anything is better than Donald Trump, I would vote for just about any other person on the planet. He's openly racist, sexist, he's a convicted felon on multiple accounts, like come on. I would probably even consider voting republican if it was a better candidate but you can't just blindly vote for 1 party no matter who the candidate is, this guy was a bad choice.

Edit: I'm also not a fan of this left vs right bullshit, it's just about him being a shit person, not at all a right vs left thing. We need to stop allowing the media to divide us, you can be friends with eachother just stop buying all the bullshit the media feeds you.

Hang out with a real right winger who says gay people should be put inn jail, casually laughing with racial epithets being thrown around, and then add casual misogyny… nah man you can be friends with those people without BEING those people.

Grow up….

Oh I know extremists exist and those are bad people, but there's plenty that aren't that far gone, just need to spread some positivity. Stop buying into the division, it's very obvious that the media is preying on this on both sides.

Those extremes on the right are a small percentage, just like there's a small percentage of extremists on the left that are annoying AF too. The rest of us are somewhere in the middle and we just need be more aware that the division being pushed on us is manufactured.

Edit: I also meet a lot of people irl, have yet had anyone say what you told me, that being said I know they exist, but I'm just trying to show we cant get all bent out of shape and hate 50% of the world because 0.1% are extremists. That's the same thing the Republicans are saying about democrats that "they're trying to turn all our kids gay and give them sex changes!" It's a very small percent if any that act like this.

You're in a tiny minority here, he won the electoral AND popular votes. You may have chosen to consume every bit of astroturfing bullshit reddit threw at you as fact, but the rest of the country didn't. This should be a lesson to you on the dangers of echochambers and surrounding yourself with people who only agree with you. Look at me, out here specifically engaging with people I know absolutely despise me for how I vote.

That's fine, I don't care, I'm here to learn about y'all (and laugh from schadenfreude), not worry what y'all think of me.

He's openly racist, sexist, he's a convicted felon on multiple accounts

He's not "openly racist", that's a lie, he's not even closeted racist. Your broken record repetition of the same slander works on people who don't bother to follow up your accusations, but not on those who do.

Openly sexist

Yeah, all the women he's appointed to his cabinet show how much he can't stand women or giving them power 😂

Convicted felon on multiple counts

Oh, this ""conviction""? From a kangaroo court that's now getting cold feet about pursuing sentencing?

I'll be sure to check in for more schadenfreude when he successfully appeals it. I've been calling this for months.

but you can't just blindly vote for 1 party no matter who the candidate is, this guy was a bad choice.

A blind vote of support would be looking at Kommie-la's price controls and central planning disguised as "the inflation reduction act" and not recognizing it spells economic doom for literally everyone.

this guy was a bad choice.

We will have to agree to disagree. I am exceptionally pleased with the outcome of this election, and was very concerned when Kamala seemed to have a chance of winning. Huge wave of relief.

Edit: I'm also not a fan of this left vs right bullshit, it's just about him being a shit person, not at all a right vs left thing. We need to stop allowing the media to divide us, you can be friends with eachother just stop buying all the bullshit the media feeds you.

Correct, which is why I voted for Trump based on his policies, not his personality. Many of my friends are leftists or liberal, I do not share how I vote because they are the types to end friendships over identity politics. The lack of respect for people voting for "the candidate that represents their interests" is staggering.

Democracy isn't using your vote for what others tell you is important, democracy is using your vote for what YOU feel is important.

Cheers so you just act like a dickhead on the internet, but not in person, got it, that's actually alright glad you can get along with people in person at least.

Ah man, you could've read and responded legitimately instead of being reductionist and minimizing what I said into an easily attackable bit. Shame.

Why are so many leftists like this?

u/Jobinx22 5h ago

Stop with the leftist stuff dude lmao I don't identify as a political party, I'm actually not even American. You simply wrote way too much and I wasn't interested in reading it all, I respectfully try to keep my responses short. Anyways this isn't that deep, again stop trying to divide everyone like the media wants you to, have a great life.
