You've got people going team coconut, people super angry about team coconut.

I saw some people upset that their primary vote didn't matter(THERE WAS ONLY ONE CANDIDATE, MOST OF THE PRIMARIES WERE CANCELLED).

I'm seeing people complain that Biden was old and senile then immediately complain Kopmala was a cop.

I feel like everything everyone is saying should have a giant flashing "THIS SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING" disclaimer above it.

I know a guy who was complaining his GF's immigrant mother, who's husband just had his citizenship finalized, was going to vote for trump. He was bewildered. A day fuckin later, he's saying "I'm not going to vote for Kamala".

Like huge fucking stand you're making dude, cool, great, whatever. Like this whole thing was already a giant sham, the entire election and campaign has been "not trump" from the start. Despite all the awful bullshit Biden has pulled in the past and present, despite firmly being in the incontinence club and sundowning at 3PM, the entire message was "not trump".

Now suddenly the cop is like this whole other category than "not trump", people have concerns. People are unsure of her ability to lead. Like what the fuck? These fucks don't even matter, they're the stickers on top of your fucking beyblade for christ's sake. The election is Heritage foundation vs a conglomerate of tax-writeoff corporate donations.

Like can we* all just be fucking honest and drop the charade and go "we're voting against the heritage foundation"

People are going to hate Kamala for all the wrong reasons.

I'm enjoying all the pejoratives around "coconut" Kamala. I'd recommend everyone read the quote in context...

Sure she's a cop, but it sounds like she's read more theory (or been read to, from the sounds of it) than a lot of the chuds and three letter fellows hanging around Lemmy.

The quote is good. I like the quote

[–] Red_Sunshine_Over_Florida@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I have no idea what to make of her. I just wanted to see the Party suffer by struggling through all this chaos. I never expect them to do anything for me.

Unironically it's a lot of us-foreign-policy

And sexism of course

[–] buh@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

no it all makes sense, in america you're not allowed to vote for anyone good

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what it's like to live in a swing state/district

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Zoot suits, big hats, you know

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

I just know somehow that at some point Biden pitched the idea of wearing a zoot suit to meet with the NAACP and was probably really disappointed when his staffers turned it down immediately

I'm weak at this 😂

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

That beyblade line is good stuff.

If it helps voting does not matter so you should just do whatever is the most funny.

If you are in a swing state voting third party might matter. Otherwise participating in any election above local is pointless at best.

"whatever man this shit's boring who cares" (this is the closest we have to a Stav emote)
