at least she's realized and admits her mistake and changed her voting patterns. a huge portion will never have that self-awareness
She didnt do that though. She voted for a cunt promising to cut shit she needed and then didnt change her mind until the exact thing she needs was cut. Thats not really learning in the way you need to learn to have a functioning society. Its still narcissism and individualism.
Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. The thing you should fault her with is that she still didn't get that Trump lies about everything after demonstrating that for his entire public life and an entire presidential administration.
maybe my standards are just lower now because I still see idiots cheering trump as he is literally killing them and stealing their money so long as they think he is "owning the libs"
I predict she will still vote Republican the next go around for similar stupid reasons.
Did she? She voted based on racism. Nothing she's complaining about suggests she shifted on that.
It doesn’t matter to me until it directly affects me.
The official motto of the American voter.
Mamdani LITERALLY converts Trump voters into non-trump-voters.
Of COURSE the democrat party hates him; he exposes their grift and gets their prey to pay attention!
Zohran keeps things on policy, which is the only arena the personality cult and party faithful can't go.
An alarming number of Americans (and people around the world) just vote on vibes. That's the only way you can explain voting for a fascist one election and immediately pivoting to a democratic socialist.

And looks.
"I like his policies, but..." gestures at brown people
Shirley is a stupid cunt and a racist. I'll happily support her voting for Mamdani, but she's still a piece of shit and I hope she knows it and it haunts her. It doesn't, but I wish it did.
This sounds like someone learning. It’s incredibly hard to admit you were wrong and do better. Don’t shame her for it.
She hasn't learned anything. She discovered that her vote is now going to affect her. If it weren't specifically for the Medicaid cuts, she wouldn't be showing any remorse and would still be hoping Trump will take care of her brown person problem. She hasn't admitted that she was wrong, she's finding out that actions have consequences.
Fuck her. She deserves to be shamed just like every other Trump voter. Remember when being pro Nazi got you in hot water because of the shame it brought? We need to get back to that.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
I got lots of rocks and didn't vote for the orange piece of trash. Careful what you wish for...
It's funny. That story I referenced is describing exactly your sentiment.
No it's really not.
Unfortunately, Jesus came back two weeks ago, but he was apprehended and died yesterday in a Salvadoran torture camp.
I'm not pretending to be a saint, but my moral compass is better than Shirley's, and I know that from the couple of sentences she said publicly. Also, God's fake and sins are a bullshit social construct. I throw as many metaphorical stones at stupid cunts that I want.
It's a reference to a silly story where the lesson is to not be a judgemental shithead just because someone else fucked up.
Yeah it's the bible. I don't care if God is real or not, nor your opinion on it. I also use references from the writings of Vonnegutt, the music Dolly Parton, and 90s anime.
Because you can get moral lessons from fiction. We do it all the time. My reference isn't even that deep. But somehow the ten word literary cudgel I bludgeoned you with still didn't make the point. It's a cautionary statement.
You are acting like the crowd of shitheals that wanted to stone a woman to death, just like in the biblical story. That's not a good look nor is it a good indication of your 'moral compass'. Sorry I thought you could infer that from my one sentence quote from a very well distributed piece of literature.
I never expressed any desire for harm to Shirley. I want guilt to eat her alive. You're also claiming she fucked up like it was an accident, and it wasn't. She's a shitty person and Idgaf if it's a bad look to express that out loud. If she were to come out and genuinely try to repent for her actions and express true remorse, I'd say she has learned something and hopefully will do better, but that's not what's happening.
Sure, if you want to give them a reason to double down again instead of coming around.
I'm tired of trying to cater with these fucks. She has shown zero remorse for her beliefs, just that it's affecting her. She has no intention of coming around, and if she does, I was never going to be the voice that gets her there, unless she happens to stumble into this thread. I doubt think Fox news or OAN or whoever is regurgitating this to their base, so it's a moot point.
Edit: this picture is getting so much mileage this year.
You can’t beat stupid.
You can beat them, but they still won't learn.
We should be allowed to try. Maybe one night a year? For like 12 hours?
She’ll regret it even more when ICE snatches her up.
"Imma vote for this dude bc he's gonna get rid of all of the people I hate.
[scary thought]
He won't come for me, bc I'm better than those people."
So she voted for the Wong candidate and now regrets it. Cry me a fuckin river.
~~What support for education is this lady hallucinating about?~~
Edit: stay in school kids
she's talking about mamdani not Trump here
Lol whoops. Thank you
I prefer the corpse to the mongoloid republican voter voting against ALL of our self interests.
Rest in piss maga moron.
Bensonhurst has always been a heavily immigrant area - now it’s Asians, before it was Italians and former ussr. It’s kind of weird that she has a problem with it….
Please note that the first paragraph in the screenshot does not refer to Trump. It's still a Leopard eats my face moment, but not sure to the affordable housing stuff.
