    Damn we need that clown meme up in here. I remember when she was a big supporter of Bernie in 2016. So I’m guessing she was just a Putin puppet the whole time right?

    I honestly thought she might be Trump’s VP.

      Yes? If you were added to a sketchy government surveillance list would you then decide you wanted Donald Trump to be president?

            I believe in not being surveilled by my government. That is a core belief. So you could say that yes I do believe in some things very deeply.

                Yes I complete my census survey that seems like a valid function of government.

                I do not register for a political party as I believe voting is an immoral act. I have no right to tell anyone how to live there life. If I were to vote for a candidate I would be indirectly telling others how they should live. If I were to vote for a ballot measure I would be directly telling others how they should live.

                Someone recently challenged me on that stance and I’m revaluating it slightly. They asked if I would vote to restore a freedom that had been taken away. I haven’t fully wrestled with that yet, but I’m starting to think that I might should the situation occur.

              Ok, you believe in one thing very much and have no meaningful beliefs about anything to do with anyone other than yourself. Yeah, then it does make sense for you to base your entire political life around a single personal affront.

          Trump is the person in this election who is most likely to keep creepy watchlists. In fact, I would be shocked if he doesn’t have them already.

        So a perfectly moderate and sensible person is a scammy-blowhard?

        Did you actually look at a single thing of hers when she ran for president? Not surprised youre on lemmy.world lol lets put it that way. Cant even do research into a good frontend, say bombastic shit and somehow get upvotes from fellow redditors who have come to this community.

            Or, maybe, you could keep an open mind and see why she and… Rod Blagojevich Samuel D. Thompson Rubén Díaz Sr (btw, this guy is Puerto Rican I figured I should mention this since people think Trump will… genocide those peoples, or some nonsense) Kwame Kilpatrick Andrew Stein

            All other democrats endorsed him.

            What a disgusting mentality. I guess you just deny those human’s opinions now right? The dynamic of those individuals is now lost to you because they endorsed “big orange scary” - correct? How disgustingly rude of you to those people’s dynamic lol.

    And here I am having been accused before of “bothside-ism” when I said politicians flip flop-- on party or policy wise. Democrats do it but Republicans do it more. It seems that Lemmy forgot about John Fetterman and Tulsi Gabbard. But I don’t know, maybe because I came from a corrupt country and not surprised of any backstabbing and flip flopping. Maybe it is biased in favour of Democrats that some Lemmy users have ideological blindspot; or maybe it’s a first world problem when people can’t believe politicians turn.

      Lemmy is way worse in terms of hypocrisy. Some people on lemmy say one thing, then there’s other people on lemmy that say the complete opposite. How can you ever trust anything you read on here when there’s no consistency in what everyone is saying? I think people that think lemmy is good have a blindspot that prevents them from seeing the terrible people I’ve encountered on here.

      Though it’s possible, and this may sound crazy, that individuals within a group may differ in opinion on some things.

        Why is it so weird to you that there is more than one opinion present on the internet? You could have seen that and concluded that Lemmy isn’t as homogeneous as you thought it was but for some reason you decided to interpret it as a conspiracy to deceive you. Not gonna lie, that seems pretty fucking crazy to me.

          Kinda the point. A group of people (whether it’s an internet forum or a political party) are not going to be homogeneous. Anyone can join lemmy, and anyone can join a political party. Which means both will have all kinds of weirdos in the mix.

    He keeps us in his heart

    Sure. Tell that to the women that he took abortion rights from, or the refugee kids that he stripped from families, or the people he tried to deny health care, or the natural disaster victims in blue states that he tried not to help because they voted for the other party, etc etc etc.

    This man has never cared about anyone other than himself.

    If he’s pretending to care about you, it’s because he thinks you’re a useful idiot that will get him into a position of power that he can exploit.

    “We saw this through his first term in the presidency when he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate and prevent wars. The same cannot be said about Kamala Harris. In fact the opposite is true.”

              Integrity is being loyal to my ideals, not to a party that has drifted so far right (in ideology, in rhetoric, in incivility) that they are almost indistinguishable from Republicans.

                Your ideals are MAGA, and you do have integrity towards them by posting pro-Donald propaganda. The lack of integrity I am calling out is you pretending to be on the left side of Dems and Repubs. “Dems have drifted too far right therefore I will vote further right than that.” Ok, buddy. We can all see what your motivations are.

                  That’s the thing. On the issues I most care about (Israel, immigration), I don’t think the Republicans are further right than the Democrats anymore.

        Because she isn’t taking measures to de-escalate and avoid wars. Her rhetoric has been nothing but hawkish (on Hamas, Iran, Ukraine, etc.).

        And now, just days after her hawkish speech about supporting Israel, we’re now seeing Israel initiate conflict with Lebanon. Good job, Kamala. And she’s not even president yet.

      trump literally dropped the largest non nuclear bomb on afghanistan, threatened to go thermonuclear against north korea, assassinated iran’s military leader, ripped up a peace deal, increased presence in iraq, vetoed the bipartisan end of us involvement in yemen, and called for israel to turn gaza into a parking lot.
