Imagine telling people you love america so much, that you fully support the ideals of an autocratic suppressive foreign regime.... AND PEOPLE BUY IT. Republicans are bringing this country down by the help of useful idiots - on the stage and in the seats.

Imagine rooting and fully supporting the actual enemy of the values, way of life and political views of your own country. Because that's what Russia and Putin are. That means being a traitor even by the enemy standards

They spent most of the 20th century telling us that Russia was the biggest threat to the world. 25 years later Russia starts invading its neighbouring countries and the halfwits are taking the Russian side.

[-] Robbeee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They said the Soviet Union was the biggest threat to the western world. Now they're supporting the ghouls who devoured its corpse.

The dude is sucking some Russian cock.

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago

Dudes a Russian plant. What more evidence is needed. Get him the fuck out of here.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Why does a "Christian presidential forum" exist? People need to keep their death cult book clubs out of politics.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because tolerant liberals kept tolerating religious garbage for decades instead of confronting this shit early on. Now here we are.

Boot licking shill licks boot and shills. News at 11.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Got it, Republicans are bad. Tucker is evil. Christofascism is rising. Vote Democrat. Nothing fundamentally will change.

I mean it'll get worse if you keep voting Republican. I'd rather the status quo than worse. Maybe don't put down enthusiasm of others.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

That was not my intention. I’m challenging voters to ask for more from the Democrats. If we don’t ask for more, we’ll never get it.

[-] utopianfiat@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

Bullshit dude, you're concern trolling on behalf of the fash.

[-] Varixable@lemmy.fmhy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Thank you. Call this shit out for what it is every time.

[-] AnonTwo@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And that's why instead of spending today making posts or linking articles or conversing in anything about democrat policy, you have replied all day to republican posts by bringing up things that you think democrats should do, that republicans aren't doing either.

No, it is entirely your intention.

This is literally not the first thread i've seen today where you've been shifting the conversation to democrats when it's talking about republicans.

Either make your own topics discussing what you'd like from democrats, or stop shifting the conversation under the guise of asking for more.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. Not a guise though. I’m begging Democratic voters to ask for more. Is that not okay?

[-] AnonTwo@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Given you somehow ignored everything else I said in order to say that

No. It's not okay. You don't get to ask for that. Not when you're only asking it in bad faith.

[-] DrMario@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Literally everybody asks for more from the democrats. Who the fuck is excited about Joe Biden? Nobody, it’s just that the alternative is such complete shit and voting third party helps the poop

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Biden has consistently refused to recognize the metastatic cancer that has eaten the Republican Party from the inside out. He still cherishes the dream of bipartisanship and hearkens back to the good old days of hammering out compromises on the Senate floor. Of course he’s going to downplay the difference between the parties.

That doesn’t mean go vote for fucking cancer.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

You linked an article where you just read the headline. You didn't read the article apparently where if you did you would have seen this:

'Biden said that poverty was “the one thing that can bring this country down” and listed several new programs to help the poor that he would fund if elected.'

So that could change, for the better, the standard of living of the poor negating your headline only argument.

Additionally, the president prior, Trump instituted substantial permanent tax cuts on the rich with temporary tax cuts on the poor and middle class. The temporary tax cuts for poor and middle class expire in 2025. The rich keep their tax cuts after that date. So even with the worst possible reading of that headline, its still preferable to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

After reading the article a second time, I found a part you forgot to quote:

Biden went on to say that the rich should not be blamed for income inequality, pleading to the donors, “I need you very badly.”

[-] Raphael@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Don't let the US become an all-out theocracy please, your stupidity affects all of us.

[-] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Can someone share the article? It just loads an ad for me.

Archive.is link to article

Mentioning @Bridger@sh.itjust.works too in case you didn't want to scale the paywall earlier.

[-] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Was this after or before he had serious discussion with Andrew Tate about climate change?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
