Vivek Ramaswamy, the former presidential candidate running as a Republican for governor of Ohio, posted a Halloween photo of himself and his two sons on Friday. The post received a wave of xenophobic and racist replies, including one user who wrote, “I see this year Vivek went as an H1B immigrant here to steal your jobs. Very scary. Like the brown version of the Grinch.”
They’re not idiots. They were lied to, kinda like when student borrowers and wage earners supported the Democrats thinking Biden would lift a finger to help them out of poverty.
But Bien did lift several fingers to save student borrowers, though? It was blocked every time by Republicunts.
I’m not willing to give him credit for performative acts, especially after seeing a president actually wield power these last eight months. Honestly a little surprised you are.
Performative acts? That legislation would’ve passed if it hadn’t been struck down. He tried to pass it several times and did succeed in some instances, until the Trump administration ordered to pay up a few months ago.
What’s baffling is how you’re so ready to discredit every and all of Democrats’ deeds. I get that they’re far from perfect and actively harmful in others, but your absolute stance to deny things that have actually happened is a little ridiculous.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me over and over again, I’m an idiot.
You just aptly described the two-party system and the people who vote for it. Cheers.
Vote FOR it, or vote IN it. Two different things. Pretty sure most people would love more choices to fit the many directions and not have to accept with “close enough” or “better than the other one”. As for voting in the system as it exists, there is absolutely the option to just not vote because you feel it’s a waste… but then you get what we have now, since most non-voters (for whatever reasons they didn’t) would have not picked Trump.
The real flaw: people who shout that voting is useless during a voting year, but then don’t try and improve the system during the off years with what’s there. Of course it’s the same voting dichotomy if no one bothers to change it before the next cycle. You get what you put in. I would suggest that it’s because of apathy between voting periods that’s the problem, people vote (or not) and then ignore politics until the next go around, and are shocked that it’s the same.
Nah, they’re idiots.
Not really. This side of the pond, we have suella braverman, priti Patel and the current leader of the opposition kemi badenoch. All British maga types. First two Indian ethnicity, the other Nigerian. Badenoch only has British citizenship from her parents booking a private hospital here to give birth to her, then went straight back to Nigeria.
She is frequently spewing hard right rhetoric about immigrants, saying they need to earn their citizenship, with no self awareness whatsoever. She denied racism was a problem in the uk until she personally started getting hate. Yet she still wants the far right in power and is determined to carry on pushing the Tories to the far right. Then when her wet dream comes true and Farridge gets in, with his plan to deport even legally settled immigrants, she’ll cry that the leopards weren’t meant to ear HER face.
Believing anything a Republican says is in good faith makes you an idiot.
I dunno, he did say he would be dictator on day one.
…unless it’s something horribly evil. Then you know they mean it.
Same with Democrats, looking at their voting record. It’s why they’re fighting harder to stop Mamdani than the fascists.
That’s a bunch of bullshit. They are pick mes.
No they’re not. They were desperate and lied to.
Did you think when Bill Clinton was sent north to finger wag at Palestinian people in Wisconsin, or Obama was sent to finger wag at black men, that they’d still vote for the Blue bunch of idiots?
Y’all need to realize you need these people’s votes and act like it. Support the Mamdanis and Platners and AOC’s of the world.
The only thing I need from those pick mes is to be deported for FAFO.
You’re wrong, but that’s okay.
Let a little more specific.
If you are a black man and you voted for Trump, you deserve you put back in chains.
If you were a white woman who voted for Trump, you deserve to be made a brood mare forced in the kitchen.
If you are Hispanic, Asian, or Muslim, if you voted for Trump, you deserve to be on a plane, headed towards Angola.
I don’t have any expectations of White men. That requires me to actually have a positive opinion of them and based on the last 12 years, they haven’t done much to improve their reputation.
If you’re a tankie who decided not to vote at all, you deserve to be the very first one that the Trump administration eventually starts putting Americans in concentration camps just like what happened in Germany.
I have zero sympathy for pick mes. They had a chance to do good, receive support from other minority communities, and decided the holy Grail of whiteness was more important than solidarity.
I only have sympathy for black women, because they, first off, have been the only ones who’ve tried to hold Trump accountable, and they were the only group that significantly voted with common sense.
And as for the Trumpies suffering right now because of tariffs, no jobs, and now no food stamps, I’m enjoying watching your suffering while eating a bag of popcorn.
In a nutshell, spare me the Kumbaya shit.
They’re not idiots, but some are grifters, some have become disillusioned with Dems not taking their economic issues seriously and basically getting jaded and disoriented politically, and some are deeply insecure and just voting for whichever party seems the least gay.
