    This will be the third election running where Americans have had the choice of a giant douche or a turd sandwich to vote for.

      A giant douche who’s a convicted felon and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history.

      I think of it more as a budding fascist dictator vs a senile moron. Which is why I’m extremely worried that the former wins. At least with the senile moron, the rest of the senate and staff can sort of hamper on reasonably without irrepairably dismantling democracy. This is a 1930s Germany type of situation.

      And it still hadn’t awakened us to destroy the party system. We are sheep.

        That is definitely the right thing to do, but wouldn’t it be great to actually want to vote for your guy?

          There’s this thing right. and it’s called voting for an independent or not voting at all. It’s not like your being forced to vote for a turd sandwich or a giant douche. If you want to vote for a giant douche or a turd sandwich then that’s just you using your 15th amendment.

            True, but only the main two really stand a chance of getting in.

              You’ve got a point. But your votes do really count. You could vote towards an independent. and if they get 5% of votes. They’ll be recognized as a minor political party. they could potentially get tons of money for their next campaign

            You are a bit stupid if you think that, no offense, any vote not going to dems is going to the fascists who will grab power in the US if given the chance, on the other hand if you liked the recen Civil War movie and want to role play it IRL in a few years, then who am I to judge

            Damn I should have known when you shared this meme format that’s usually conservatives attempting to dunk on liberal tweets

    I have no idea who this guy is, but he’s always getting posted. His smugness could probably be detected from Andromeda.

      He somehow monetized being a Trump reply guy back in 2016, every Trump tweet you’d see this guy with a snarky little “well actually I prefer an X that WASN’T Y” or whatever. Within seconds.
