Because deep down inside you’re all a bunch of fucking miseducated Neo-Nazi’s. Or too lazy and stupid to even fucking care. Welcome to hell.
I've heard a lot about Fetterman moving right. Joined Truth Social, called for a Trump pardon. Just wondering, do you think he likely switches parties by 2028, becomes a Republican, becomes an Independent, or stays a Zell Miller Democrat. Or do you think he's still pretty Democratic for a while.
I briefly mentioned this in my last post on here, but I'd like to discuss this further. For those of you who are blaming the Democrats for why Trump won (despite voting for Harris), it indicates to me that you all believe that the Democrats are the ones responsible for the potential end of our democracy and well as the potential rise in fascism. Are there any of you that truly believe that the Democrats are the ones responsible for our democracy ending and fascism beginning if that does end up happening under Trump? If so, I think that is so messed up since the Democrats have always cared about our democracy and were always against fascism, unlike Trump. Therefore, blaming the Democrats for the death of our democracy and fascism resurrecting, not only isn't fair, but it makes this unfortunate situation even worse. While I previously mentioned that it's the Supreme Court's fault, I'm fine if you all disagree with me on that as it's just my opinion. It's only when you all blame the Democrats that bothers me for the reasons that I just discussed.
This is a follow up to my previous post where I shared that it's the Supreme Court's fault that Trump won. What baffled me was how there were some folks who said that the Democrats are to blame even though they voted for Harris themselves. To those of you who that feel that way, how is it that you all are turning a blind eye to the fact that polls from late 2023/early 2024 showed even Biden ahead of Trump when the participants were asked who'd they support in a scenario where Trump was held accountable and convicted on J6? This proves that if Biden could even defeat Trump in that scenario, then Harris would have very easily defeated Trump in that instance. I mean, Trump even won the popular vote, there's no way he would have done so had he been convicted for his J6 crimes. The Supreme Court was the reason to why we didn't get the J6 trial before the election, not the Democrats, which is exactly why I blame SCOTUS for Trump's win.
PS- In addition, the fact that some of you are blaming the Democrats for Trump's win also tells me that you believe that they are the ones responsible for the (possible) end of our democracy, which to me is messed up.
I understand making satirical add against opponents but outright posing as your opponents to lie or obfuscate their positions and creating fake websites for the same purpose is insane to me. Did you receive any of these fake ads or Texts from fake groups like “Progress 2028”?
This past week the 5 counties of the Philly area … Philly, Delco, Chester, Bucks, & Montgomery … voted solid blue. It's definitely not Pennsyltucky. 😜
I’m not really serious about this, but just something to think about… what if these 5 counties were to break from PA and become a state?
The combined population of these counties is about 4.22M. The population of PA is about 13M, so these 5 counties are about 1/3 of the state population.
This new state would rank about 28th in population between Oregon and Oklahoma. It would have 2 new senators and maybe about 6-7 electoral votes.
