    People aren’t listening unless they try to remain politically aware. They don’t even know Trump is saying all these far-right ultra-fascist things. They aren’t paying attention and they won’t until the election is much closer and it will be too late.

      Early elections this past week seem promising. I don’t think Trump is particularly gaining votes. He’s saturated the electorate and swept up all the gullible buffoons, bigoted, and easily-grifted.

      I think generally most people are sick of him. The key is whether the progressive-left remains energized which influences and inspires the rest of the base to turn out. As long as abortion remains a hot-topic, we should be fine.

      Can’t forget how 91 criminal charges across 4 grand jury indictments will look as those trials begin and wrap up.

        I didn’t think Trump would be elected in 2016. Look what happened.

              equally bad. one lies to your face and deceives, one is too stupid to even bother.

              neither option was a good option. one changed their minds when it was beneficial for votes, the other knew that the dnc would fuck it up and didn’t bother changing anything.

              also, biden is shit, and obama was too. sorry, they all are war mongering fascists that take money from corporations to do their bidding, and don’t genuinely give a shit about people. no one bothers to see beyond the favorable cnn headlines and the whitewashing of history because the situation now is so bad.

                That’s ridiculous. You think Hillary would have tried to nuke a hurricane? Do you think she would have suggested using bleach to cure COVID? Do you think she would have had record job losses and record debt increases? Do you think she would have implemented massive tax cuts for the rich? Do you think she would have called Nazis marching in Charlottesville ‘very fine people?’ Do you think she would have lied about losing an election and instigated a riot? Do you think she would tell a secretary of state to just find votes for her? Do you think she would try to make a deal with Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Hunter Biden?

                Most importantly: Do you think she would have appointed far-right Supreme Court justices that would end Roe v. Wade and done other massive damage since the three Trump appointed were confirmed?

                Hillary was overwhelmingly a better option than Trump and that was even apparent when he was running and telling people exactly what he was going to do.

                  that’s all noise. I don’t care about your cnn headlines. o care about legislation. records indicate otherwise.

                    Really? Getting rid of Roe is ‘noise?’

                    I guess you don’t care much about women.

        There’s too many people in this country who will cheer for the boxcars until the instant they’re forced onto one.

      It’s pretty simple actually.

      1. Murder mayhem over there…

      OR

      2). Do it here.

      At least 1) didn’t lie about doing what they did.

      Your choice and fuck you. They don’t care about you being homeless. Get a job, slave.
