2024 Election - Trump vs. Harris, important downballot

[Paetolus]

I am not a flip flopper. The same can't be said about Kamala Harris.

Trump is probably the biggest flip flopper of all time (good recent examples being the Florida abortion amendment and his stance on Obamacare), so kinda funny to criticize Harris for flipping on some of her positions over time when it's way less egregious on her part.

What's wrong with people nowadays?

This is what constant divisive rhetoric does to some people. I am appalled by the kind of derangement it creates on the most vulnerable of us.

In the democratic process, your weapon is your ballot. Use it honorably.

I'm glad they found that guy and arrested him.

Hark! The unmistakable sound of slapping flippers...

We well know that this would be used as proof of Nazi/fascist if a deranged Republican made threats against a Democrat recruiting poll watchers. If you want people to think it's just rhetoric and you don't care, just carry on. The election is close because people are dismissing the rhetoric and inability to apply the same standards to both sides.

Lol an an article by Jack Posobiec. I surprised he took time awy from his sex pesting to write something.

tickol, why do you boost such weirdos and endorse sexual assaulters like Trump?

[Marfrilau]

Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, incoming pain and suffering!

Ever since COVID, MAGA tards have been whining about evil globalists wanting to do The Great Reset and now they are openly talking about doing one themselves...

Almost like there's a pattern of violent rhetoric and threats against poll watches/workers from Republicans, including elected and campaigning politicians, that's not mirrored by Democrats. As if, bear with me because I know you've heard this before, incidents don't all exist in isolation and exist in broader context. Which I know you consistently are frustrated by.

Are you glad they found Trump, and arrested him?

i mean almost all of the actual voting fraud has been repubs, they've been burning ballot boxes...oh and pretended the election was rigged so they tried to literally overthrow the fucking process....but yeah one democrat made threats so its all samesies....


The fucking insanity has to fucking stop at some point.

[AntiFascistVoter]

whoopise i was wrong, lol


expect, having Jack Posobiec as your news feed is indeed weird.

[Edge-]

Dont trust, Jack Posobiec, tickol or tehdang. They all have been caught lying before.

No other news outlet or court document has mentioned the Philly man's alleged political affiliation.

Jack Posobiec claimed to have scooped this....

I mean, the report is legit - the dude was indicted on Oct. 21 - https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/phila...representative

And local newspapers tracked down some info on him and he is a registered Democrat - https://www.inquirer.com/news/john-c...-20241021.html

Like, rad, glad they arrested him and please prosecute him. I'm glad conservative finally have their rare example they can use as a cudgel and pretend is indicative of far more, without evidence, while ignoring that largely the response from Democrats to every instance like this is, "Cool, fuck that loser, prosecute them." which stands in pretty stark contradiction to, say, the "FREE THE POLITICAL PRISONERS OF JAN. 6 THEY DID NOTHING WRONG AND THE DEEP STATE IS OUT TO GET THEM" that we see regularly repeated from the campaign podium by the Republican candidate for president of the United States of America.

[Corvus]

Far from apologising for his racist rally, Trump is defending it as a 'love fest'.

I don't know about Jack Posobiec but the good thing about me is that I cross-reference all my information so I don't need to care who wrote the article. In other words, you can trust me.

I would never pretend anything of that sort. That's the kind of divisive rhetoric I'm firmly against.

Why y'all continue the act is beyond me. It's like the #WalkAway folks. They honest-to-god think that they're literally fooling anyone and are just so fucking committed to the bit in public it's wild. It's so performative like they're proving it to each other all the time.

We know you don't believe this, you support Donald Trump.

So, you must support Trump spending many years in prison for his crimes, right?

He’s not from the US, so what he thinks about Donald Trump luckily doesn’t matter.


He’s his own country’s political problem.

He is from Turkey, in fact. One of Erdogan’s simps.

No, I am neither Australian, Russian or Turkish. I am both an European Union citizen and part of NATO.

That should do to dissuade any prejudices.

... Australian?

Hmm.

[Fugus]

They aren't. Republicans are just liars and also, frequently, economically illiterate.

See: "Trickle down economics totally works!"

Interesting fact, you ever hear of a guy named "Lee Atwater"? He was a Republican strategist and the presidential adviser to both Reagan and Bush Sr as well as the Chairman for the Republican National Committee.

In 1981 he actually did an interview where he spell what their policies on "State's Rights" and "Lower Taxes" was actually about. He was actually very blunt and too the point about it.

Here is an except from it with the relevant part, I haven't heard the full thing, just this but it does plenty by itself.

Edit: His playbook is still being used today when you look at what the party is still pushing.

Ah, so you're someone who is ignorantly stuck in their ways and would refuse change? Sounds real healthy. I would suggest a therapist.

[PhaelixWW]

Oh look, another ballot drop box was set on fire overnight.

The first one you talked about wasn't actually a ballot drop box; it was a regular blue mailbox, and was unlikely to be a case of election tampering.

The one you're talking about here was two nights ago and was already brought up:

"Police said Monday that a “suspect vehicle” has been identified in connection with incendiary devices that set fires to ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state.

Surveillance images captured a Volvo stopping at a drop box in Portland, Oregon, just before security personnel nearby discovered a fire inside the box on Monday, Portland Police Bureau spokesman Mike Benner told a news conference.

That fire damaged three ballots inside, while officials say a fire at a drop box in nearby Vancouver, Washington, early Monday destroyed hundreds of ballots. The devices were attached to the outside of the boxes, police said."

So someone is going around trying to destroy ballot dropboxes and ballots.

Yeah, now it's a legitimate election news story. It's good to hear that there are fire suppression systems in each ballot box, too.

The person who did this deserves to be locked up for a decade, at least, though.

Don't worry, Chief Pedant will be along shortly to tell us it's not a big deal and we're not allowed to be angry about it.

It's sad that you think it's pedantic to resist unfounded conspiracy theories. I objected when a lie was built up around the first story. I didn't object to the second story when the facts supported the accusation.

That's how it works when you're being honest, and it's depressing that you seem to have lost interest in honesty.

I don't expect you'll read this, however, since you seem to have me on ignore for some unknown reason.
