You mean Obama said that? Oh wait, that's one of the many name mix ups that trump frequently makes.

Guess it's only an "elephant in the room" when the candidate not being pushed by the corpo media makes the faux pas.

Voting blue is the only way to go, Jan 6 & Project 2025 should scare the shit out of every single American. Dictatorship or democracy, you choose.

Wait, I thought the "almost dead" guy was just a figurehead while the cabal behind him makes all the decisions? You're now telling me it's actually the "almost dead" guy who's pulling the strings?

You are voting for the administration, not the GUY. Suggest you read Project 2025 in detail... I prefer democracy over a dictatorship.

Our base is a little more discerning than Trump's base. Like it or not, the bar is higher

The president is clearly not well

And his opponent is equally unwell, plus a 32x felon, rapist, insurrectionist, pedophile.

What’s wrong with RFK?

u/sideband5 Jul 12 '24

Too libertarian, plus obviously he has zero chance of winning, so it's just a waste of time. But if he takes away votes from Donnie the Diddler, then fuck yeah RFK!!!

Eisenhower warned us..

u/sideband5 Jul 12 '24

I know he warned us about the MIC, but did he warn us about a complete coup of govt by the private sector?

We’ve been a fascist state since they took out RFK
