Even so devoted a bootlicker as Senator Lindsey Graham declared the debate a “disaster” for the ex-president.

Donald Trump is so feral and narcissistic, so unrestrained and so outside the norm of American politics, that he’s difficult to debate. It’s disorienting. Very few people have been able to stand up to him without being pulled into the muck. In the past, even when he lost debates on points, he dominated his opponents.

But on a Tuesday night in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris cracked the code.

It has to be exhausting to constantly have such a shitty take.

[-] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

exhausting to keep watching your fellow citizens eat shit from the two parties keeping the US down and loving it so much so that third parties are not considered

what did Harris say that was enough to get a vote besides the fact she is not Trump

[-] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Convincing people not to vote for Democrats doesn't result in 3rd parties being considered. It results in the GOP winning which makes it even more impossible for 3rd parties to gain ground.

Democrats aren't keeping 3rd parties down, first past the post is. One of the 2 parties has to gain enough control to eliminate FPTP voting. Guess which party is completely against that idea and guess which one has a modicum of support?

(this is rhetorical, I have no interest in having any further conversation with you. It's a waste of my time)

I feel like most points against you have been pretty adequately addressed by other posters except one. Why ignore punctuation and capitalization, but still take the time to double return your sentences? If you're breaking grammar rules to be edgy, why make your comment readable at all? Just throw it all together in one long ass sentence. It would save you precious milliseconds that could be better used attempting to elaborate on your completely asinine takes :)

That is so true, my fellow human who is definitely a citizen of the United States!

[-] verdantbanana@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

more of a dissident of the United States btw

not able to vote or do a lot of things that people who will blindly vote for Democrats or Republicans and play ball take for granted

the more the US falls apart under Democrat and Republican leaders the more people seem to latch on to them, but it is the wrong lifeboat and the last hundred years should have been a red flag that something more is needed to keep this sinking country afloat

On a sinking boat, alone, in the middle of the ocean:

"We should really get a different boat."

Thank you. I can't believe no one's thought of this.

You only think we're sheeple because you have such a massive forest/trees problem.

You can keep inflicting your lack of perspective on us condescendingly, but just know that's all you're doing.
