I have no sympathy for people of a political party who loathe my and me friend's entire existences.
I'm an awful person for other reasons, thank you very much.
Well you should hate both of the made up parties then. Be smarter and stop using tv talking points. Makes you sound stupid.
Rather drink piss than eat shit, unfortunately. Who said I didn't hate our entire political system?
I totally agree but I see it reversed. Trumps policies had the economy going well. He's a douche. But times were better. They ain't getting better under Biden. But fuck me. I've never voted for a dem or republican. Wrote in Wu Tang last time as a protest. Doesn't matter either way. I'm in NY so they go blue with or without me. Fuck em all I say but if I had to pick one (I don't have to and won't) gotta have Trump just to change up from Biden. It'll suck but suck less. We need more and better options. People seem to pick based on one issue. I say the economy is the most important thing even though I believe women should have abortions. But step one and then push real reform to the system so we're not dealing with these dumb choices. I think I'll write in Donald Duck this time.
Are you seriously saying you support Project 2025? That shit's scary.
Fuck no. You must have misread what I said or you're stupid and don't know what that is. I do. If you think Trump is behind it then you need to turn off the news.
I mean, there's a bunch of studies that say the economy was good and others saying the economy was bad, but it did feel better than now. Probably because of COVID and increasing corporate greed, but I'm not an economics major.
Slightly relevant note: the budget deficit more than doubled by the end of 2019, and the numbers show he added at least 7 billion to the national debt (probably a combination of tax cuts that never quite worked out, COVID-related spending and other things)
I do want to push back on the point of his presidency sucking less - Project 2025, which proposes things like an end of discrimination laws against LGBTQ people, ending funding for programs that benefit low-income groups and complete abandonment of climate change policy, has pretty close ties to Trump's organization and that's pretty worrying.
He's also said some pretty crazy stuff on the campaign trail that worries me greatly, like seeking revenge for his indictments for various charges and calling illegal migrants "animals".
But on the other hand, we have Biden, a man who is clearly on his way out and too scared to deliver on many of his campaign promises.
American politics fuckin' suck.
