    MAGA here. At least we didn’t have to pretend for 4 years that Biden was Sharp As A Tack™. Then, as if right on cue, pretend Kamala wasn’t the most unpopular candidate in your own primary.

    But go ahead, keep huffing your own farts.

      Hello, literate human here.

      Trump literally wears diapers. That is all.

      Good day.

      I agree with you that the strength of Harris campaign surprised everyone, and that a lot of Democrats though she didn’t stand a chance. This just shows that sometimes, people can be wrong; the big difference between Democrats and Republicans though is that Republicans must never show or admit they are.

      Straw manning so f-ing hard. Just in case anyone didn’t realize this guy is just coping really hard, here is what actually happened. Dems elected Biden because we unfortunately need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. He then enacted lots of progressive policies and had an incredibly successful 4 year term. Then everyone was very surprised that he planned to run again because it was heavily implied that he wouldn’t. When Dems realized he really is too old to be running, lots of pressure was applied and he passed the torch. While Kamala wasn’t mine or, I’d guess, many of the folks here’s first choice we once again need a centrist to appeal to swing voters. Tim Walz is a really nice VP pick for us though as he’s definitely more progressive. I’m so pleasantly surprised that she didn’t pick Beshear “cuz Israel” and I think it’s a really good sign. That’s why her campaign is going well. Because she’s surprising.

      Basically nothing this OP said is true or genuine and Dems are the only ones willing to shake anything up or admit that things need to change. So literally the opposite of what the idiot I’m responding to is purporting in bad faith.

      Who exactly is huffing farts again? The party willing to pivot or the one still voting for a geriatric wannabe dictator?

      I don’t affiliate directly with either party because parasocial relationships are fucking weird, but like dude, that party is absolutely teetering towards the bad guys in the middle East we tore down in the 90s/00s… Theocracies are bad news buddy.

      You’re right, you had a way bigger illusion to maintain, requiring all the co-rubes money, to create holodeck levels of fidelity for you BULLSHIT SIMULATOR.

      Nothing MAGA has done has made anything great, your movement will be derided in history as an embarassing footnote, and you will live to feel the consequences of your own special stupidity.

      I’m fucking here for it 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

      Sure, go ahead and “whataboutism” for the mental decline of an octogenarian that we were ALL calling out as an issue leading up to the 2020 and also 2024 election, but we literally voted for this man, knowing full well that his mental faculties were declining, simply because “your” guy is nonstop trying to overthrow a democratic nation and turn it into a dictatorship, inciting violence, using racist slurs, rolling back protections for women that were hard fought during the civil rights era for decades, and generally being an insufferable jackass, who’s a convicted felon, rapist, and was selling secrets to foreign agents from his home after, and during his presidency, saluted a hostile foreign nation, praises Putin and other dictators constantly, has bankrupted 2 casinos (seriously, the only person to have done that anyone can recall), can’t create charities anymore because the last one he created for children ended up embezzeling the funds to the “trump org” and paid $0 to kids with cancer or research or anything, etc.

      But by all means, let’s talk about the superficial differences between the two, without acknowledging that you either willingly have supported attempted fascist overthrows of America for the last 8 years, or you’re ignorant of the world; so which one is it?

      The reason your side is losing, is because nobody likes to live in a fascist society except the people on top. Fascism never wins for long. There are far, far, far, far more of Americans against you, than with you. You can use all the lies and denials you want around illegal votes , but you know, deep down, none of that shit is really true, and it should scare you to know that you are deeply on the wrong side of history, you are not the protagonist in your own story. You are the villains, the Nazis, in this case.

      Nothing you say or do to defend that will change that fact. The only thing you can do, is better. Be a better person to your fellow man and lift people up and support the less fortunate and treat everyone with respect and equality regardless of their country of origin or skin color or religious or political beliefs.

      It’s difficult, I know. It’s not easy for anyone. But you could make the effort starting today.

      Yeah, you only had (and continue) to pretend that trump wasn’t, and continuous to be a criminal, a massive fraud, a thief who even stole from charity, a rapist who loves grabbing them by the pussy and walking into little girls charging rooms, the first ex president to attempt a coup, a massive compulsive liar about literally everything, a massive narcissist, a loser who bankrupted just about every company he headed, … I could go on for a while but you get the idea, right?

      So yeah, Joe Biden who, looking back, performed pretty well, was old, and we pretended he was not that old… Yeah, you’re totally right, at least you didn’t pretend trump was old because he isn’t. Oh, wait…

      I guess it is easy for Trump to appear sane when spouting bs and nonsense is normal. He doesn’t need to think about things because he can just lie on the spot, whereas Biden has to actually use his brain. Some of the things Trump says clearly shows he has mental issues (being able to talk succinctly doesn’t mean you’re sane)

      Also, I suspect Joe wouldn’t fall asleep during his own court case

      A lot of the claims about Biden were BS (like the photo where the right wing cut out the parachuter to make it appear he was talking to himself.

      But sure, vote for a guy who gives 2 F’s about you. An Aussie billionaire even confirmed he’s disclosing confidential information to people who aren’t permitted.

      Trump has done so much really bad stuff that everyone has forgotten about 99% of it and only a small amount gets discussed

      Biden is on the decline. He was fine 4 years ago and is still probably fine. Dems actually care if their candidate isn’t fit for the next term. Maybe maga should too

      We prefer the term “Stable Genius”.
