Who are you voting for ??

Bill Gates is a member of a private coterie of billionaires who have taken a vow to give away half of their wealth during their lifetimes and not leave all of the rest to their offspring as a bunch of entitled brats.

That’s so noble.

If you could only be sitting in the seat of a Trump supporter who had to suffer through all the bullshit thrown at Trump and his supporters, you might catch a true glimpse of who are the real authoritarians. There is nothing authoritarian about a campaign slogan. Nothing.

Nobody threw any bullshit at the felon. He made his own bed by breaking multiple laws.
Now he can sleep in it-just like you or if we committed multiple crimes.
It’s really pretty simple. No wonder MAGATS don’t understand it.

I know this is off topic but I think it's kind of funny and this is an active thread where some might enjoy it. This is a screenshot of an X post/video I just saw in the PredictIt comments this morning. This is a banner which flew over the Miami Tayor Swift concert over the weekend. And I know it's true because I have a family member who traveled to the concert over the weekend and sent me a text saying this had just been circling around and around as the stadium was filling up on Saturday. Pretty darn clever response to Taylor's endorsement this year, IMO.

Being an official member of a party is being a member of that party. I'm not an official member.

You are no independent.

The GOP is running the candidate that won the primary, and guess what? This forum while rich in anti-Trumps is nothing like real life. Nothing.


Lol, you don't really believe this, do you?

I don't doubt that in "real life" there are many Trumpers not capable of reading a message board.

Non-sequitur, but I'd expect nothing less from you.

There is a certain conceit among leftists that their unquestioning embrace of DNC talking points is an indication of their intelligence.

It's so nice the two of you have bonded, and enjoy your one on ones.

No need to feel threatened. If someone were on your side of the fence, and agreed with you, you wouldn't see up playing your middle school games.

Nobody is confused by your irrelevant posts. Total non-sequiturs are your specialty. Need attention? Buy a puppy.

I hadn't realized I can vote for whomever I want and not be tortured to let anyone know my choice. Thanks for clarifying that.
But since you asked, I'll tell you.
Neither Trump nor Kamala will receive my vote.
On the Left Coast my vote for a Republican is swamped by the votes of hundreds of thousands of Liberals who believe the Democrats are best for this country.
They're the ones who still believe the earth is still the center of the universe.

I thought the Democrats were superior on climate change, environmental policy, and support for solar power, and that sort of presupposes those who are aware of the scientific view of the universe.

No one is threatened by your usual MO. Not sure what "wouldn't see up playing" is supposed to mean.

 

[choiceone]

Trump is the lesser of two evils for me.
Just like he was in 2016. But we weathered that Administration and we will weather the next Administration because our country is stronger than any one leader in the White House.

I'm not sure that's true after the official act immunity ruling of the USSC.

Pointing out that Trump appeals to the least educated is hardly a non-sequitur. Try a different attack.

I'm sorry you received no positive feedback about your intelligence in school , which has resulted in your constant need to demean the intelligence of others.

It's Socialist Kamala whose voting record is to the Left of Bernie Sanders that worries me.
Trump may be authoritarian but I doubt he has a 'commie' streak.

Please provide a link showing that Harris has a voting record to the left of Sanders.

Considering your own post #433, that is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.

Do you think black people are the most well -- educated group in America?

It's sociopathic narcissistic and cognitively feeble Donald Trump that worries me.

The guy literally believes that people are eating cats, windmills cause cancer, he won the 2020 election, and 98% of his own followers have cognitive damage. Statistically, it follows that Trump believes that 98% of the 17 people who voted "Trump" in this thread have cognitive damage.

I may dislike Trump and think he's a clear and present danger to the US, but I don't think for a second that he literally believe people are eating cats, windmills cause cancer, or he won the 2020 election.

He may well be a sociopathic, narcissistic, and cognitively questionable person, but the reason he says the things he does isn't belief at all. This man is a true nihilist.

He believes in nothing but himself winning, and he'll do anything and say anything to make that happen. He's quite capable of grasping the performative value of such memes as Haitian immigrants eating cats. He sells Trump Bibles, gold sneakers, and gold watches, hawking them on TV ads.

Trump seems to come as close to a parody of a political candidate as any presidential candidate has, and he's been doing that since 2016, though he's way better at it now that he's had so much practice.

I'm not sure his supporters have cognitive damage. They seem to come as close to a parody of political supporters as any presidential candidate's followers have, and they're way better at it now that they've had so much practice.

I just don't want a parody of a president, a parody of political supporters, and a parody of the US to be substituted for real ones. It's surrealistic and maybe meta.

English is not my native language. But I think I wrote my response well enough that your reply makes not sense.

To recap, neither Harris’s nor Trump’s trade was policies are good for the US economy. The more draconian the measure the worse. That doesn’t mean a less but still shitty policy is a good one.

Your English is not bad, except for the last sentence, which could happen to a native speaker online.

I'm not saying Harris's economic policy is good. I'm just saying that, save for the economists collaborating directly with Trump, every article I've found says professional economists across the US agree that Trump's economic policy is way way worse than Harris's. So if you have a link saying otherwise, I'd really like to see.

Always happy to do an Internet for a doubting Liberal.
Apparently, you don't much about Kamala's voting record.
This might help as you continue to doubt Kamala's Leftist voting record while in Congress.
Anything else you would like me to do for you?

Kamala Harris More Liberal Than Bernie Sanders, Senate Record Analysis Shows​

Published Aug 11, 2020 at 10:09 PM EDTUpdated Aug 12, 2020 at 9:53 AM EDT

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's pick for his vice presidential running mate, Democratic California Senator Kamala Harris, was ranked as being more liberal than Democratic Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the congressperson often considered the furthest left within the Democratic caucus.

The government watchdog website GovTrack.us ranked all 100 U.S. Senators with an "ideology score" from 1.0 (most conservative) to 0.0 (most liberal). The score is based on each senator's legislative behavior: namely, how similar the pattern of bills and resolutions they co-sponsor are to other congress members.

GovTrack.us gave Sanders an ideology score of 0.02 and Harris a score of 0.00. together, they ranked as the most liberal members of the Senate. The website said Harris joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Democrats.

"Of the 471 bills that Harris cosponsored, 15 percent were introduced by a legislator who was not a Democrat," the website stated.

We're all unsure of a lot of things until Trump assumes the presidency again.

Climate change is not much of a consideration to voters as they struggle to deal with excessive inflation caused by Biden's excessive and unnecessary spending starting in 2021.
But you and other progressive Democrats actually believe working along can change the climate of the entire planet.

Queen Latifa is an entertainer who uses that name professionally. It has nothing to do with other professions.

I'm not against you on this pronoun business. But I'm also against the use of "woke" because it's bad grammar.

Agreed. But part of why I object to the inconsistency is that it is clearly regressive.

I am not inconsistent at all.
If a woman wants to be called by her first name or last, I don't care.
I am simply not going to use pronouns that I am told to use.
