    Look, I know you don't want to accept that your arguments are just as ridiculous as those of the other side, but...

    The race is super close. Don't you think there's a reason for that? What's more likely... your candidate is the second coming of The Lord and 1/2 the people don't see that, or both candidates are shit on a stick?

    Otherwise, how can you explain all the window dressing Kamala needs to put on her lies? "Strategic ambiguity", lol... another term for lies and half-truths.

    Sorry, you guys are just as delusional as the very people you revile. That's the truth. Attack the messenger all you want, it doesn't change reality.

    I revile people who support a racist narcissist who has removed all decorum and respect in our political system, tried to instigate a coup, and now has a formal blueprint to make the entire system a christo-facist dictatorship.

    Let me ask you this: if it’s a landslide republican win. What are the odds trump tries to repeal the 22nd amendment?

    Policy differences aside, I don’t see how any patriotic American can vote for trump especially after Jan 6.

    it’s not the battle of the lesser of two evils. It’s the battle between good and evil. We haven’t had a “lesser of two evils since 2012”

    You're right, but it's not Donkeys vs. Elephants... it's social power vs state power. I suggest you get off your high horse and do more critical thinking.

    You didn’t answer my question about the 22nd amendment.

    I’ll ask another. If he wins, do you think JD Vance will “certify” the 2028 election so that trump wins again regardless of the count?

    You don’t need critical thinking to figure this out.

    Should I continue the conversation after a statement like this?
    [hint: my question is rhetorical]

  8. While you guys are busy arguing about the difference in value between two tens and a twenty, let me remind ya'll this thread is about an October surprise that can actually move the political needle. If this strike happens and goes on for more than a few days it will dominate the news cycle, and will have lasting consequences well beyond election day. That's a powerful story and one issue that may determine the election. If it comes up during the VP debate Tuesday night, the run on grocery stores begins Wednesday morning.

    still haven’t answered my question.
    Even my ten year old knows the answer. Any “critical thinking” is an attempt to justify not confronting the question.

    what makes Kamala more evil than a guy who tried to overthrow the US government?

    I can only think of one criteria: she’s a minority woman and he’s a white man, but I don’t think you are a racist. So what would it be?

    I don't think it will move the needle. Republicans and Democrats have an incentive to let this story die.

    Remember, Trump said that union strikers should be fired.
