Those % are very much bullshit but I support the message. Vote out the fascist party.

[–] TokenBoomer 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don’t let the bullshit percentages distract you from the fact that in 1998, the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table. Vote. 🗳️

That was way too short, not voting and it's all your fault

Sorry, I just found out about Agenda47 so I’m a little off.

I'm not really understand the "70%" part. Can't they just run again next election? Why would they be "out"?

[–] NikkiDimes 17 points 4 months ago

In other words, if 70% of the population consistently voted, they would have 0 chance

Because when enough people votes for something that is not the republican party, the balance of power can change and they "risk" getting to third place, where they are not relevant anymore.

[–] Syrc 4 points 4 months ago

It’s an exaggeration. They probably mean “the current Republican Party” won’t exist anymore, because they’ll have to restructure their whole party line if they want to appeal to more voters.

We are assuming they would die of shame.

[–] affiliate 7 points 4 months ago

this is unlikely because they’re incapable of feeling shame

[–] homesweethomeMrL 0 points 4 months ago

Hahahaha oh man, imagine if that were even remotely possible

[–] Jackcooper 1 points 4 months ago
