  • The protest voters amounted to some ~800k last time I did my research (check my profile for a post that goes over this).

    RFK forgot to pull out of the general election, and he amassed some ~1 million votes.

    Literally the Trump admin’s own hubris cancelled out the Uncommitted Movement’s efforts.

    But sure: let’s ignore Biden’s deep hatred and racism for Palestinians while ignoring that emocrats lost more voters than what new voters became eligible between 2020 & 2024.

    Let’s also ignore Biden’s awful, self-serving aim to run against Trump in 2024, when previously he had said he was a one-term candidate. And this old fuck couldn’t back out of the race until he was cumpstered and dumpstered on the national stage, leaving Kamala only months to prepare a campaign. Let’s not forget that there were people on voting day that didn’t even know Kamala was running (they assumed Biden).

    Let’s also ignore Kamala’s decent into fascism-lite, saying things like “the strongest military in the entire world” at the DNC, following along with right wing framing on immigration, and inviting Liz fucking Cheney on the campaign trail. This is also ignoring Kamala’s horrendously tone deaf policies aimed towards business and home owners, when most people don’t own businesses and don’t own.

    There is a generational divide in the country on Gaza. Young people under, say, 40 oppose everything this country has aided and abetted regarding Gaza. Older than 40, people don’t give a shit.

    So, have you just dated yourself? Are you too much of a bitch and coward to stick up for state mandated murder abroad? Or are you one of those soy libs that ignores all of America’s war crimes yet points out everything wrong with China?

    American foreign policy is uniparty. If you don’t protest that, you’re complicit.

    Both sides are bad. And by that I mean Democrats never represent the Left while routinely allowing the Right to exert their selfishness and greed. They are controlled opposition to frame American politics as a binary, when in reality an entire half of the political spectrum could be represented to widespread approval

    If it’s a straight line from Nixon to Trump as you say, then why claim Republicans are environmentalists with Nixon as your example?

    He said straight line THROUGH Nixon and Trump, not straight line TO Nixon and Trump.

    The former implies distinct and self-evident political differences, whereas the latter implies political evolution from one into the other where both politicians have a common set of political similarities.

    I can’t help but think at this point that we’re reaching comprehension issues…

    You say “it’s too long ago when Republicans were different” isn’t a valid argument.

    He didn’t say that. You did. He pointed out your hypocrisy when you said that stating the fact that Nixon created the EPA must mean he’s a Republican (and a MAGAt one at that), but then turned heel and said that any politicians from 50 years ago don’t matter (likely because the political landscape then is not the same as the political landscape now, which is reasonably true - he makes this same point by saying 1860 Republicans are not the same as 1960 Republicans or 2025 Republicans).

    You stated he’s a Republican, then dissolved your own claim by saying support for past Republicans doesn’t matter. You’ve closed your own logic loop.

    Why can’t stating facts just be that: stating facts.

    Instead, people have to insert imaginations of their interlocutor’s position so they can try to dish an “own” before asking them for clarification first.

    And we wonder why discourse is broken in today’s age
