“Vote for my shitty policies or the other guy will have shittier policies” is not a platform.

The point of a democratic republic is that elected officials enact the policies those who elect them want. If you don’t offer to enact those policies you don’t get elected.

Yes, non-voters were stupid to not vote for the lesser evil, but the Harris campaign violated the very basis of democracy and thought they could simply use Trump to bully people into voting for them.

Imagine a system where a fascist Boogeyman is held up every election and people reliably vote against them without regard for who they vote for. The other party could put up whatever shitty candidate they wanted whether they espouse the views of the population or not.

Not only is that not at all a fucking democracy, it was the documented strategy of the Democratic party! Except it doesn’t fucking work, which they should have learned in 2016.

Trump didn’t get any more votes than last time.

He won because the Democrats lost.

The Harris campaign turned out great initially.

They fucked it up immediately by saying they weren’t going to be any different from Biden on Gaza and that was one of the wedge topics that had been created about Biden.

Rather than compromise with the electorate to get people out to vote, they tried to use Trump to bully voters out of the house saying he’d be worse.

I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.

I was going to put that in the list but felt it was long enough already, but it does fill the fruit dumpling gap.

Wrong time again…

Fruit goes on cooked flour.

It’s been like that for centuries.

Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread…

You would vote in the Republic primaries…
Don’t try to stretch the Overton window. You need to move the right side of the window left.

This is how black people in the south managed the Democratic party; by voting for the least racist Democrats in the primaries, no matter who won the general election they were better off.

It’s basically ad hoc ranked choice and it prevents extremist candidates from winning.

“Acting is…”

Would Jesus at least be able fashion a scourge before-hand?

Yeah. I get that we have to vote for her. But she’s just using Trump’s fascism as a cudgel against voters to push her own shitty policies.

If she genuinely thought the election was life or death she would compromise on Israel, rather than saying we’re the ones that have to keep compromising.

I get that it’s stupid not to vote or vote for Trump because she won’t back off on genocide - but everyone calling that out needs to call out that Kamala could fix that entirely by just deciding to be on the right side of history.

This would be a slam dunk election if they’d stop supporting genocide.

This was originally a spring song.

So if all hotdogs are hotdogs of other hotdogs, there must be a hotdog that was never a hotdog of another hotdog.

That hotdog is God.

EDIT: Hotgod

No.

? EA has been shit since probably before 1995…

Thankfully Skittles listened to the people and went back to lime instead of stink bug.

This is the way. Though I’ve had to come to a full stop and pull off the road a couple times…

If you’re pacing the car in front of you, you’re already wrong.

Never. Pace. Strangers.

You pass them or let them pass.

Intelligent people leave a whole fucking lot more than just two car lengths.

This is also why you vote in the primary of the party with the candidates you like least.

If you view any candidate in party A as better than every candidate in party B, you need to vote in party B’s primary so the best candidate for you will make it to the general election. Then even if party A loses the general election you still get the candidate you like most from party B.

This was a key strategy for black people in the south to get the least racist Democrats into office. It’s basically ad hoc ranked choice voting and it reduces the power of extremists.
