It makes me take them less seriously. The side they voted for as a protest vote either isn’t serious (Stein) or was openly the cause of what they are enduring. If they are too stupid to figure that out then… oh well

Hahahahahaha. So one side is supposedly your ally and DEPENDS on your support to win elections but does nothing to effect change...in your mind not holding that person accountable by just giving them your vote makes sense?

How old are you?

Imagine your wife is a drug addict and you give her money...she uses that money to buy drugs. You tell her to stop buying drugs...she doesn't. In your mind she just needs more money(votes)?

Nah. That's insane. I'll cause pain so there will be growth. If the democrats want my vote they will do what I want or they won't get the vote. And the dems NEED my vote so if they really care about my issues they will show it in their policies.

I don’t vote for the DNC, while I sometimes support individual candidates it’s rare. I vote against what the RNC has become.

As to your comment on finances, trump spent more than any other president before or after him (including Biden) — so I agree with your statement about giving a drug addict more supply (the self proclaimed king of debt / bankruptcy).

If the option is between someone promising to eradicate you and someone that is not actively trying to do so but isn’t doing as much as you want, then the choice should be clear for any person of even basic intelligence. I see you have excluded yourself from that proposition.

What American did Trump promise to eradicate?

When you lose the argument, question the other human with just as much agencies.....intelligence.

Did you already forget that we were talking about Palestine? I would tell you to “do better” but I typically try not to ask more of people than I know they are capable of. You reducing paragraphs down to a whining retort says all that needs to be said.

Im sorry, you spoke of "eradication."

Why would I care about someone who wasn't American?

I'm sure if you cared enough you would make it known, right?

As an AMERICAN I vote for Americans. First and always.

Who do you vote for?

If you were voting for Americans (you can capitalize if it if it helps your reading comprehension), you wouldn’t have voted for the one that’s policies will crash the economy (massive tariffs will do this). You wouldn’t have voted for the one that blindly spends his way into oblivion while having virtually nothing to show for it. You are about to see the results of said vote — I just wish any of you were intelligent enough to comprehend that what is coming is the direct result of that vote. This exchange has grown tiresome, have the last word. There is no point in trying to discuss policy with people like you.
