There is a woman onstage at a trump hate rally in Colorado who said "this is something my children have to experience everyday...they have to experience people who think they are bunny rabbits, kitty cats, dogs. They get meowed at, barked at"

No. I voted for Obama because he wanted to give this country HOPE. And he sounded believeable unlike Trump. He wanted to get rid of PACs and pork spending. He seems to be a straight shooter and honest politician even out of the office.
He said he was going to repair the economy, shut down Guantanamo and end the wars that Bush and Cheney started. He did nothing of the kind, and I knew he wouldn't because I understood how politics work in Chicago. He was -- and is -- a neoliberal that was perfectly happy to join the neoconservative cause. He did nothing to undo what Bush and Cheney did. Instead, he advanced what they had set in motion. And he did nothing to help poor blacks. Absolutely nothing.

There was a kid at the bowling alley dressed as a cat with another kid walking him on a leash and he meowed at my daughter. She just looked at him like wtf, it's not Halloween. It's a real thing with these stupid fucking kids and their parents who allow it and even encourage it. There was a fat 12 year old boy there too dressed up in a dress with makeup on and sucking his thumb while sitting in his obviously lesbian mother's lap. Just because you think something sounds bizarre doesn't mean it's not true and people are making it up.

If my kids ever tried leaving the house pretending to be a dog or cat, they're getting a one way ride to the Humane Society.

MAGA is Walmart politics, but the acceptance of what you describe is more disturbing to me. It's like when Rome collapsed in an orgy of degeneracy. Or Sodom and Gomorrah. Not just degeneracy, but the worship of degeneracy.

While trump was addressing his hate rally audience he said he doesn't use teleprompters WHILE USING THE TELEPROMPTER.

Trump's a turd, Harris is a turd. Which turd is best qualified to lead the most powerful nation in the free world?
Hmm...

I wish it was just pulling a lever between two turds (things as usual) but I actually despise Trump. I’d vote for just about anyone before him (except any of his crazy cronies). So Harris 100%. If I were choosing more generally (state/local), I won’t vote for election deniers or those that downplay 1/6. I’m anti maga and hope that whole fucking movement dies.

This lesbian mother single? I'd marry her in a heartbeat. Sounds like the son I'll never have.

Trump also did absolutely nothing except failing to build a wall, inciting the storming of a Capitol in an attempt to overthrow a fair election, sell a bunch of shitty overpriced sneakers, watches and lowering taxes. The good economy? Trump inherited that from Obama.

That "good" economy was the result of the Federal Reserve's zero interest rate policy, which is indicative of an economy on life support. Obama did nothing to correct the systemic deficiencies that led to the crisis of 2008. He continued to let Wall Street run the economy, in spite of it's criminal behavior. Trump did nothing to fix the dumpster fire either, but to his credit he resisted shutting it down for the sake of "saving lives". When Biden came in he quickly reversed course and supply chains were decimated.
It amazes me how ignorant people are when it comes to economic policy because by far it has the greatest impact on mortality. Economic downturns result in higher mortality. Biden has done nothing to address this reality. Kamala pays lip service to it because she's running for office. One day she's gushing about the Biden legacy, the next day she acknowledges that the price of bread is too high. She wants to have her cake, and eat it, too. Unfortunately for her a great many Americans know with 100% certainty that she won't undo the damage. Trump probably wouldn't either but at least with him there's a small chance that things will improve.

There isn't one goddamn thing in the whole world that trump would improve once he got his grubby paws on it.

It's disappointing that some of you see both candidates as the same side of the same coin and that's just not the case at all.

Both of their policies that they've laid out so far doesn't affect the poor or mega rich, it affects those making at or over $400,000. That would be me and millions of other buisness owners who are not rich. Kamala's tax plan relies heavily on taxing businesses and corporations that make over $400,000 and Trumps proposed tax plan does not. Why the fuck would I vote for Kamala, because she seems like such a sweet and kind lady?

It actually does affect the poor as well because then you will see even more increase in prices. Her plan is to pay the poor to accept the increase, however.
