    They’re both ruling-class pawns.

    Agreed.

    Thinking that anybody who dislikes Trump is somehow up Biden’s ass is just fucking stupid.

    The 49% to 49% election results say otherwise.

      It certainly proved spending decades lobbying for lower corporate taxes turning public education into utter ruin made our society, and I use that term very loosely as we really aren’t, largely incapable of critical thinking and highly susceptible to confidence schemes.

      Reminder: Americans believed slavery was just, genocide was just, segregation was just, and eugenics was just. Unless people are taught to critically think, reason, and empathize with their fellow humans, we are little more than feral beasts.

        When both presumptive presidential candidates are clearly unfit and cognitively-impaired, and they get get full party support anyway, I’d say you’re right.

      Voting for the dems =/= up bidens ass when there are only two options to vote for.

      Hell, dude, over 1/3 of the US voting population didn’t even vote.

      Approx. 64% of people of voting age voted, and 49.9% of that number voted for Trump, so realistically,

      If people of voting age make up 78.6% of the total population, And 64% of that amount even voted And 49.9% of that amount voted for Trump,

      Then of the total US population, only approx. 25% of the American population actually voted for Trump.

      (78.6% x 64% x 49.9% = 25.1%)

      And that doesn’t account for all the people who just voted for him because they were disillusioned with the dems.

      So no, 49.9% of Americans do not think he’s strong.

      Some fraction of 25% of Americans might

      [Voting age population as of 2024-11-05: 267,400,939 Total estimated US population in 2024: 340,110,988
