My Mexican immigrant coworker believes that if Kamala gets elected that immigrants will be deported but also immigrants are getting too much free money and food stamps and things like that. He really has bought into some kind of weird belief that Donald Trump is a better candidate. He can't vote because he's not a citizen. I think he's just pissed off because he works two jobs and sees people who get free stuff and don't come here legally as lazy.

Undecided voters are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

I disagree. Trumpers are definitely worse.

[-] ValenThyme@reddthat.com 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

say what you want about the tenets of trumpism, Dude, at least it's an ethos!

(jokes aside I am no contact now with any of my relatives who expresses any pro trump support. I'm trans and fuck you, fam!)

[-] yankgenosiders@lemmings.world 2 points 8 hours ago

What is the difference?

[-] yankgenosiders@lemmings.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yes they are very dumb dumb. Trump is the worst.

[-] peppers_ghost@lemmy.ml 14 points 8 hours ago

Spotless is a gross way to describe her career as a prosecutor.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 hours ago

Don't know why you're being downvoted, Harris isn't perfect but with Trump on the other side not much is required of her to be the best option.

[-] peppers_ghost@lemmy.ml 5 points 7 hours ago

I'll go as far to say she's a huge piece of shit that smells less bad than trump but you're still working with a turd

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago

"Pedophile" is missing from the trump one...

[-] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 18 points 10 hours ago

It appears a good chunk really loves the racism thingy

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 43 points 14 hours ago

I might not leave the country, but I’ll have to leave my state. I wonder if next Friday after work I’ll need to load up everything I can fit in my car and drive as far north as possible. It’s terrifying that my rights as a transgender human vanish will vanish overnight where I live. I’ve heard of bounties in Odessa.

Knowing that most of the people I live and work around are happily voting for a child rapist has broken my brain. The folks protesting at the Planned Parenthood (abortion is already illegal here) are going to vote for a man that’s probably paid for multiple abortions. It’s a sickness I can’t fathom.

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Its sickening what is happening to this country, that you even feel the need to flee in such a way, but it is a realistic concern. There are people who very much want carte blanche to harm trans people, and if Trump is elected they may get that cover, its vile.

They still need more information, probably about her emails because they are so far behind on political news.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

So frustrating

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 33 points 16 hours ago

Left out rapist under Trump's "accomplishments"

[-] gi1242@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

I didn't follow as closely. was he convicted of rape? I know he was accused. given his track record im 100% sure he's guilty of everything. but I thought he managed to settle and weasel his way out so he's not officially convicted as a rapist...

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

He raped his exwife, it was in their divorce filings. He did it as revenge for his hair plug surgery going badly.

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 10 points 10 hours ago
[-] gi1242@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

that's what I thought. he dodged the rape charge. if he was convicted of rape he would certainly have been sentenced, served time in prison, and be on the sex offender registry.

regardless, hopefully in a week we never have to think about him again

[-] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Whether or not he was convicted, it's a fact that he is a rapist.

It won't end after the polls close. The MAGA cult has been setting the stage to fight any results they don't like which will certainly create a large amount of time until the results are fully certified.

Undecided voter = person who cannot discern truth

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 39 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

I don't understand how there are undecided voters this election... I understand trump voters. Ride or die republicans, bigots, wealthy people that want more money for themselves. They are fucked up, but they make sense.

But how are you undecided? What are you weighing up. If you're not in the aforementioned groups, what single positive thing does trump offer?

[-] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Undecided voters aren’t undecided because they’re oblivious to what’s going on. They’re undecided because they live in a swing state, so they have more power than the average voter, and most importantly they want something. They see the candidates campaigning specifically for them. They’re hoping to be offered a promise they actually care about.

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

The only reason I can actually understand an undecided voter is if it's actually a strategic decision to entice the parties to give them more. An undecided voter is worth so much that Elon is literally giving away millions of dollars to sway them. Yeah it's chump change to him but it's still unprecedented. It would be kind of like a nullifying jurur, in that they're saying something completely different than what they're thinking. That totally gives undecided voters way more credit than they're actually due, because in reality they're just ignorant of the situation.

[-] stochasticity@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago

I've seen some people try the free speech angle. But that isn't true either. Neither he nor Elon are actually about free speech.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

No, they're inherently more anti free speech than the people they're puroportedly against, anyone using that justification is either ignorant or only cares about not getting in trouble for being a bigot

With a more representative electoral system, we could have more then two buttons. First-past-the-post voting is mathematically flawed and will always result in a two party system, which is why we must replace it as soon as we can.

Yall believe in democracy right?

[-] florencia 2 points 8 hours ago

First past the post voting is the cheapest and fastest use of taxpayer dollars. Must we overburden our poorest districts with purchasing requirements for fancy smancy vote counting machines? /s

[-] dandelion 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

In fact, this whole elections thing is just so expensive, a burdensome cost to the people. Wouldn't you prefer to save money and enjoy the reduced risk with knowing a qualified expert is running things (\s)

(this legit is how the Heritage Foundation sounds)

Ignoring everything else here prosecutor is a net negative and "Felon" isn't a bad thing necessarily. If you want to you can criticize Trump without propping up law enforcement.

Apparently you’re a nazi if you vote for either, so you should just not vote

what does the guy who's openly threatening the future of American democracy think about my taxes

[-] hohoho@lemmy.world 83 points 22 hours ago

He thinks your taxes are too low and billionaires taxes are too high!
