• I hate him, but I am only voting Trump because my taxes and HOA keep going up.
  • The democrats went too hard on the whole free Palestine crap, Israel has a right to defend itself
  • democrats care more about illegal immigrants than me
  • all the protesters and homeless are scary
  • after this election, prices will go back to normal
  • we need someone who is tough on crime
  • after the vaccine mandate I just don’t want to vote for someone that wants to control my body (a woman who is undergoing IVF)

Great job finding a base that has no intention of supporting you Democrats, you are gonna get smoked this November. Homeowners are majority dumber than rocks and conservatives.

    If I could have one superpower I think it would be the power to allow white chuds to switch places with these illegal immigrants, no take backsies.

    They think they’re getting a government credit card with no limit they don’t ever have to pay back so they can lounge around doing ehateber they want and cashing 5 figure welfare checks. And instead they end up working 16 hour shifts for $4/hr in a slaughterhouse in the Midwest before being harassed by cops 4 times a week on their commutes.

    The American WASP might be the most privellaged class in the history of the entire world. And they use the fact they can do literally anything without consequence to fan the flames of their victim complex.

      wouldn’t it be better if they could go back and let their like minded friends know about reality?

      You suggest something like that to them, or a similar idea with the homeless, suddenly they have a million excuses as to why they can’t. They say this stuff, but don’t really believe it. Their problem isn’t that they think that the dems are giving a bunch of free stuff to “illegals” but rather that the democrats aren’t going full nazi on them enough.

      Undocumented immigrants, but, yeah, that’d be fun.

      “Quick! List the first things that come to mind for how inflation has negatively affected you!”

      “Uhhh oh shit uhhh well HOA fees are definitely up there”

      These people live in a different fucking reality

    Here’s a hot take:

    Someone said “people tend to vote for the party/people they think have done the most to improve their material conditions”. If you look at the usa, neither party has done shit for the average person in a very long time.

    So how then do people decide how to vote? Vibes and conspiracy theories.

      Almost every US election comes down to how well the economy did in the last four years. We get to play ping pong between parties because things just keep getting more expensive

    Lots of folks around me complain about their living expenses rising, but seem to put undue importance on the fact that a lot of landlords around here are immigrants. They’re just one step away from saying “I have no problem giving upwards of 1/3 of my income to a stranger who does fuck all for me, as long as they’re white.”

    Another reason I don’t believe Democrats will make Republicans obsolete by “becoming them.” Politics in America are all about the brand. The Democrats are seen as big on social Justice and every left-leaning protest you see is going to be blamed on them no matter how hard they disavow them.

    The Dems could say “fuck those queers” and Republican voters will still associate them with lgbt as long as queer protesters and activists continue to insist that voting Dem is best for them.

    Shit, Democrats have gone hard against illegals and yet they’re still seen as soft on immigration with activists again insisting they you must vote Kamala to decrease your chances of deportation.

    Edit: that’s not mentioning that culture issues will continue to be prominent with the amount of conditioning for it that zoomers and gen alpha have been getting with social media like YouTube.

    I have mastered the art of material analysis and can now say the following: owning a home in a system where housing is a commodity inevitably drives one towards fascism.

      Yea I know, literally every suburbanite tells me the Dems need to be more moderate than they already are and since Biden won I just hold my tongue.

      It’s all vibes and no ideology for 95% of Americans.

      Genuinely starting to think comedy podcasts/stand up is how most people get their opinions
