This couch fucker needs to resign.

No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won't leave Trump's campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.

It's insane to me that this is where the line is drawn. Found guilty of rape, no big deal. Calls people childless cat owners, people go crazy.

That same attitude got trump elected in 2016

[–] sparkle@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

It's really not the same attitude. JD Vance is a terrible pick, literally anyone else who would replace him would do better

I'd place the blame on the Democrats pushing such an unlikable candidate, Hillary Clinton, that they couldn't move enough people to vote to get past the electoral college bias. There's also the fact that most people thought "How bad could Trump be. He looks honest and confident in what he says" and a lot of positive media around that time being about Trump.

This time, we have Kamala Harris who's actually really good at campaigning and getting support. The move the Democrats pulled managed to derail the GOP Propaganda machines (like Faux News) and put the positive focus on Harris instead of Trump.

Regardless of what is happening in the Republican side, we still need to vote since this could be our last chance to vote.

It wasn't that she was unlikable. It was all the bot farms and nobody would have ever thought Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies could possibly win, so too many voters stayed home. That will not happen this time.

VOTE!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without the help.
