Donald Trump could full on pull his pants down and take a giant shit in their mouths and they'd somehow convince themselves that it's chocolate.

If you're ever wondering why America is the way that it is, sit back and just absorb the cold harsh fact that this person can vote.
The problem with AI is that it's more designed to give factual information than it is to ethically discourage certain actions. Like, if you asked it if a 50 foot drop from a bridge would likely kill you, it would just factually say yes or no with no regard as to why you asked that question.
The baby blue whale is the second largest baby on Earth, just below the animal known as the zionist.
I'm precisely at 1:57 in the red shirt that's striped.
Holy fuck, this CNN poll is incredibly alarming. You mean to tell me that AT LEAST 28% of all American adults have had no sex in the past YEAR? And you know this is an underestimation because not everyone will admit that in a poll. I can't be the only one who sees a problem here?
WOOO! ZOHRAAAAN!
You know, I really love the fact that medicentres in this province are only open from 9-5 and not on Sunday (or Saturday in some cases). Because as we all know, people only ever get injured between those hours and never on Sunday. Thanks, Alberta government. I love that so much.
To be fair this isn't new, transphobic TERFs and co. have been wanting this for years.
So does this fucking piece of shit oppose subsidies for oil and gas, but does he only oppose it for green renewable energy? Hmmmmmmm
Hey, Steve. I understand this isn't topical to this post, but I watched your video on the Canadian Loneliness Epidemic and enjoyed it a lot. If you ever want to talk to or interview a lonely Canadian, boy do I have a lot to tell you if you'd like. Thanks!
Of course it is, he just says whatever idiocy is on his mind at the moment.
By the way, recognizing #Palestine isn't enough. I'm very thankful for it and it's better than nothing, but we need to go further. Cut off all money, trade, and weapons to Israel, recall our ambassador, and sanction them. They are committing a genocide and we should have no part in it.
I've also noticed that the Republican Party and the CPC push the narrative that they are going to cut our taxes and be fiscally responsible with the little that they tax us. Of course, that's not actually true. I think liberals/progressives need better messaging to highlight how they're lying.
That's like saying that Russia isn't invading Ukraine because they've only taken 20% of Ukraine and not all of it. That's retarded.
They hate you and they want you to suffer.
Albertan separatists are delusional. They don't have the legal means nor do they have the populist support. Alberta (especially if it includes Saskatchewan) separating would also mean that the CPC would never win an election ever again.
People killed each other before civilizations existed although they were more peaceful. Then again at that time the population density was much lower and we didnβt really have politics outside of βletβs just surviveβ.
Yes, but I will say that even if everyone was non-religious weβd still be at each otherβs throats over politics or philosophy. Youβd still have capitalism vs socialism, conservatism vs progressivism, veganism vs carnism, natalism vs anti-natalism, etc.
And it is equally true that the vast majority of men donβt do these things.
New leader of the democrat party, here we come! They're gonna embrace you whether they like it or not.
Blatantly racist, white supremacist memes are just casually sitting on my facebook timeline. Don't fucking look me in the eye and tell me that racism isn't an issue anymore.
The saddest part about this is how friendly she was up until he chucked water into her face. She was so fucking polite about rejecting him! And still he has the nerve to do that?
Nobody should be proud to be an American anymore. The United States just passed a bill that will basically turn it into a third-world country and cause suffering on a scale that hasn't been seen since the Great Depression. Hang that flag upside-down this July 4, it is nothing to be proud of anymore.
People don't seem to appreciate what an astronomically large number a billion is. If you make a comfortable 100,000$ per year, assuming you work for 40 years of your life, it would take you 250 lifetimes to make 1 billion dollars.
Republicans are... stretching the truth??? Say it aint so!
If any political party loses 4 elections in a row, it's a good time for that party to purchase a mirror and do some self-reflection on why that has happened.
If the US couldn't defeat the Taliban then the US is delusional if they think they can pacify Iran.
To be fair, this is about the best you can expect from CNN.
Alright NYC liberals, vote blue no matter who. Now it's our turn to turn that phrase against you. I better not see any of you guys voting for anyone other than Zohran Mamdani.
The nice thing about being a leftist is that all you have to do is tell the truth. You just have to memorize the talking points of the right and go "no, this is wrong/misleading and here's why...". I have faith that Zohran can do that.
It wouldn't matter even if none of that was true. This is just a bullshit smear. Zohran BARELY if EVER talks about his religion, and he's socially progressive regardless of it.
Alright, it's time for me to eat crow. I was wrong. Maybe America is not as cooked as I thought it is. This gives me so much fucking hope, to be honest.
There you go, boomer liberals. Which way now? The candidate who's endorsed by white nationalist or the candidate who isn't?
By the way....
Deranged conservative threatens civil war over the existence of liberals.
LMAO
Wait, you think US elections are not biased against the democrats? Huh? Have you listened at all to what Greg Palast has uncovered?
If you are measuring the value of a candidate by whether or not they won then by that logic, Bernie Sanders was a total trash candidate. I have a feeling you wouldn't agree.
Calling him "The modern Hitler" is rich. Who's doing an actual genocide, again?
Cool, fuck off then.
I don't think you can help Canada, I think your country is irreparably cooked. Prevent the fascist takeover? Lady, they already won. It's already here. You're already in the toilet. It's too late.
I'm sorry, does my commentary do that even though in it I explicitly state that everyone should vote progressive anyway? If it does then is that maybe a you problem?
"someone not from here" Excuse you? Wait, hold on, excuse you? Didn't your president threaten to annex my country mere months ago? You think we're gonna easily forgive and forget that?
Yet Obama and Biden won comfortably. And in the smaller elections we've seen this year, democrats are growing their popularity by double-digit margins. They are perfectly capable of winning, they only lose because liberals, progressives, socialists, etc. aren't electorally united.
No, they don't. Putting the blame for the current conditions on the Democrats is highly reductive. It's not their fault that many American leftists refuse to participate in the legitimate and important "ABC" (anybody but conservative) voting strategy.
There is evil in every political system and in every politician, and this is the way it will be, possibly forever. The question is, how do we mitigate it in a way that is feasible and practicable? Who will do by far the least amount of evil? And that's an easy answer: the Democrats.
You've had decades and decades on this Earth and still haven't figured out that it is morally valid if not morally responsible to vote for 50% evil over 100% evil? I'm the one who's being selfish here?
Yeah, politicians are often disappointing. C'est la vie. If you have a viable progressive vs a liberal or conservative, vote for the progressive. If it's a showdown between the liberal or conservative, vote for the liberal. Why? Because the liberal will do way less damage. Wake up and grow up.
Maybe no, I'm going to speak my mind and I'm going to warn you to expect disappointment. I'd love to see a Brad or Zohran mayorship of New York City, I'm just letting you know that it might not happen.
I'm Canadian. All I can give you is moral support.
"We have just made sure a nuclear weapon will not be used. The American people are 70% behind this." Your words, verbatim. I didn't straw-man you. Either you meant what you're saying here now because you botched the phrasing, or you're backpedaling because I called you out for being a liar.
You say she lost because people didn't subjectively feel represented. Well, I didn't feel very represented by my Liberal party here in Canada, but I still went to vote for them because I recognized Mark Carney as the lesser evil. By far, too.
Jesus Christ, 67 years old and you lack the basic media literacy to understand that this is not 70% of Americans saying that we need war with Iran.
Man, it is practically a law at this point that when any political debate occurs, it is inevitable that the right-winger will begin to lie. It's just a matter of when.
I agree on their foreign policy, absolutely not on their domestic policy, especially on social issues. No way Kamala would've done any of the disastrous things that Trump is doing right now.
Unearned? Have you looked at your fucking country lately?
Moron, there's no such thing as a political issue that everyone agrees on, certainly not war with Iran. You're a lying snake.
Iran is not building a nuke. That's a lie. So is your claim that 70% of Americans want war with Iran, that too is a blatant fucking lie.
Sure, go to war with Iran. Destroy any remaining credibility you might have on the world stage. Ensure that the next 4 years are plagued with populist protests and instability. Ensure that the Republicans get absolutely 2006-style wiped out in the midterms.
Wait, you're telling me that the population of Gaza doubled in the period of time it was under the protection of Hamas? And this is supposed to be a PRO-Israeli argument?
I strongly reject your framing here. Kamala Harris had a lot of problems and was disappointing in numerous ways, but she was way better than Trump on almost every issue. And Tim Walz would've been a nice progressive influence on her. Do not equivocate them, they are not even close to each other.
I specifically and deliberately say in my original comment that everyone should still vote progressive, since nothing is inevitable. I just think it's unlikely.
You know the answer to that question. The question you should be asking is if New Yorkers do.
Ah yes, October 7th: an unprovoked assault against an innocently peaceful, pluralistic exemplar of human rights that isn't in the process of illegally settling and ethnically cleansing one of their conquered ethnic groups.
Nope, I'm just realistically pessimistic. 77 million votes to a guy who tried to coup your government, who committed 91 crimes, has at least 25 sexual assault allegations against him, committed fraud out the wazoo, etc.
Your idiotic assumptions do nothing to back up the assertion that I don't have skin in the game.
I have skin in the game because Americans are human beings who deserve to live under responsible government.
Ew, get the fuck out of my replies, zionist. Go kill babies in Khan Yunis or whatever you're doing now.
I'm Canadian.
Rarely do people on facebook say anything remotely insightful but this person hits the nail on the head.
I have a horrid feeling in the pit of my stomach that Andrew Cuomo is going to win. Donald Trump's victory in 2024 has shattered (perhaps permanently) my faith in the American people to choose the candidate that's best for them. By all means vote progressive but don't hold your breaths.
The USA: Israel's seventh mahoz (district).
A corrupt neoliberal like Andrew Cuomo is not going to stand up to Trump. We need people who actually represent an ideological opposite to Trump's far-right fascism, and that's in progressives like Zohran.
Eliases of the world unite!
Lindsay Graham saying that he's willing to take the risk of what might happen if Iran falls, is exactly the Lord Farquaad quote from Shrek, "Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make!"
It should be noted that something like 70% of deaths (or incidents, I can't recall) from terrorism are from non-Islamic right-wing actors. Leftist terrorism, especially leftist terrorism that results in deaths is extremely rare.
The Republicans have really been doubling down on anti-immigration rhetoric but yeah I agree that they don't like black people either.
Because it was never about rising up against tyrannical government, it was always about having the opportunity to kill immigrants and liberals.
Iran has the right to defend itself!
Oh yeah, his anti-zionism is definitely being used against him. Like oh, how dare he not be one.
> Rejects Israel Don't threaten me with a good time!
Don't get me wrong, there are idiots in every country and misinformed people in every country, and fascism is a looming threat everywhere. It's just that America is cooked in a way that other western countries aren't.
The same world where you think the average moderate conservative in Germany would vote for Donald Trump and the Republican Party he's molded for himself. Your stupid ass called me bigoted in another reply, I think in fact you're the one who is bigoted, against Europeans.
Europeans, (well, at least Northern, Western, and Central Europeans) are also a lot more educated and therefore probably know more about America's two parties than your average voter. Certainly more than your average Republican voter.
No, they fucking wouldn't and if you were intellectually honest you'd acknowledge that. Far-right extremism exists in Germany, but I have a bridge to sell you if you think the AfD is as bad or worse than Trump's Republican party. You have no idea.
Do you genuinely believe that any significant number of moderately conservative Germans would want that? Do you think that even 100% of far-right Germans would want that?
The Republican party, if hypothetically elected in Germany, would send them on military adventures to the Middle East, rip them out of the EU and close the borders, dismantle and defund their universal healthcare, and try to destroy their education system.
Okay, Π΅Π°t shΡt; I'm not wrong, there is no way that any significant number of CDU voters would vote for Trump and one xenophobic statement by its leader is not evidence of that. I mean Trump's (former lol) friend threw a NAZI SALUTE TWICE LIVE ON TV for fuck's sake. Think Germans would like that?
Did I say Trump voters? Because I remember specifically saying "Republican Party politicians".
Wait, just out of curiosity, were/are you a non-voting leftist?
...Okay? And? Republican Party politicians say shit that like 100 times on a Tuesday. Do you think this remark validly compares him to the extremism of the Republicans?
Then you are an absolute mΠ΅ntΠ°ΠΠΎΡd. and you have no idea what you're talking about at all. The CDU and Trump's Republican Party are not even fucking close when it comes to how far-right they are.
Do you genuinely believe that even a significant minority of Germany's CDU/CSU party would vote for Trump?
That could be the case but neither you nor I knows that. The specific question asked is, "βIf you were to vote in the American election for President, who would you vote for?" That to me implies that the hypothetical is that you're an American citizen and you got to vote in the election.
I dunno man, I'm seeing some pretty credible pollsters here. Miles above fucking ArNiE oN bLuEsKy.
It is a HYPOTHETICAL scenario, you absolute mΠΎthΠ΅rfuΡkΡng brainlet. YEAH, NO SHIT a real world scenario would have to contend with the existence of multiple parties and non voters and the unpopularity of Democratic neoliberalism. But it's not a real scenario because it's a H Y P O T H E T I C A L
*More fucked
Are you trying to imply that the electoral systems of your average European country are less fucked than they are in America? Citation needed. Aint no way Trump is getting in with 40% or less of the popular vote.
