I don't know how it took until JD for Trump voters to decide they wanted someone likeable, but I'll take it. -

I didn't know he was endorsing Kamala. Strange move, but okay. -
Actually, no, fuck you. You don't get the benefit of the doubt here. Here's the headline: "Western media concocts ‘evidence’ UN report on Oct 7 sex crimes failed to deliver" No guys, it wasn't denying crimes! It was just claiming the evidence of those crimes was fabricated! Douchenugget.

We had a conversation where I learned Wiki is anti-China because they removed pro-China sentiment........ in accordance with their neutrality policy. -
Why did you put "crimes" in quotes? What crimes are being brought into question? Why?

I mean, she wasn't especially great during the 2020 election cycle, but before that she didn't have experience in a national spotlight as far as I'm aware. But, like, she's been the VP for several years and what I've seen of her recently seems to me like she took some feedback on public speaking of that scale. And taking a look at her record, I'm actually not sure we could possibly have asked for a better ticket than Harris/Walz. I'm so hyped to see the debates. Harris and Walz have shown they know how thin-skinned Trump is and plan to capitalize on it, so the dude's cooked. He's done. On principle, I agree it is fucked we effectively got screwed out of a primary. But also the primaries made it clear that it was a choice between Biden or literally anybody else. We got literally anybody else. And we could do so much worse than Harris/Walz. -

I never read either withdrawal as a betrayal. 2016 cooked him with the DNC's meddling, and whether you like it or not his options were to weaken the already inevitable nominee through futile flailing and risk a Trump presidency or try to strengthen opposition to Trump and he went with opposing the person he believed to be more dangerous. Obviously, this didn't go well, but him having gone with what he considered morally better at the expense of his own pride/reputation isn't something I disrespect. I don't strictly disagree with the choice. 2020 he withdrew earlier.... because he didn't want people to vote for him at the expense of spreading/catching covid. Biden didn't care, so Bernie did what he thought was right to protect his constituents. Whether you agree with him or not, I don't consider either actions to be betrayals. Under less severe circumstances, I may agree, however Trump has made the GOP uniquely grotesque and Bernie cared more about the damage 8 years of Trump could do than whatever shit your on. Your feelings and his appearance weren't on his priority list. His highest priority was actively opposing Trump (unlike most Democrat senators), and he has stuck to that. You know he can’t singlehamdedly chance everything. He has no other option outside of incrementalism because that’s the system he's in. He isn't the system, he just has to navigate it. Have you ever tried viewing this from a human perspective? Put any kind of empathy into the people you talk about? Looked at it from someone else's perspective? Honestly, while I may reply to more of this word vomit later, it depends on if I remember..... and if I'm willing to get this annoyed tomorrow. -

Yeah, I'm not as sure about horseshoe theory as I am that distorted is a willing victim of faux-progressive propaganda. I think he's aware it's propaganda but agrees with what it's pushing. Like, it's propaganda but the kind that speaks the truth so I'm gonna pretend it isn't......? That may sound crazy, because it is, but also distorted.

Despite how he looks, JD Vance isn't THAT much of a predator. A small child can, in fact, outrun him. Citation: -
I'm not sure why you make threads for people last active in 2019, but it is oddly endearing.
