Who are you voting for? Who do you think will win the election?

People say that the "MAGA's" are the nasty people. Here is something I was witness to in about 2016 or so

I was at dinner with my then girlfriend and a group of people. We were eating outside in a courtyard at a restaurant and right across was a bar with live music. Anyway, a guy from the bar came over and said he hoped we were enjoying our dinner and that if we wanted to see some music, there is no cover charge and to come on over and have a good time. He was wearing a Make America Great hat and he was as nice and polite as he could be. Once he walked away, some of the people I was with were calling him every freaking name in the book and what a piece of shit he was etc. What they didn't know was I was conservative as well. He didn't care what party anyone supported, he was very nice, but he wearing that read hat. So automatically he was a piece of shit.

Freaking SAD that it's the way it is.

If you don't want people to call you a piece of shit, don't advertise that you support a piece of shit. Congrats, you're smarter than he is. Well done.

So, if he never wore the hat but still supported but kept to himself, is he still a piece of shit? Great liberal thinking right there.

Great, now go back to swinging on Kamala's nuts...

I'm with Bono on this one. The signs, flags, hats, shoes, NFTs, bitcoin, diapers, or anything is a grift of the highest kind and people fall for it. I see yard signs (the traditional kind) for both parties. OK, if you want to "show your support." I have never seen a piece of democrat merch worn in any election in my adult life except for the color-block Obama shirts that had minor popularity in 2008 for a minute. That says something without saying something. Any country has issues, major or minor. The former President for only 43% of Americans and not ALL Americans has done more damage to the unity of this country than ANYONE in history...all for his vanity and bank account. His 2016 presidency was a con. STFU about a fake, 4-year-old "rigged election" already. That is the better option if the dude did not wear the stupid hat and kept his politics personal.

[Bono Nettencourt]

NTM that he runs a business, so he's willfully pissing off half his customers or more. Guess he enjoys poverty.

This I cannot figure out. We have this nutjob who lives on the outskirts of Columbus, OH who ran for gov a couple of years ago with no chance to win. He is a cattle rancher and runs a not-fancy steakhouse with the best beef cuts besides true A5 Japanese Wagyu. It also has a butcher shop. Unbeknownst to anyone, the place was the talk of the country and always jam-packed. Then he went public with all his wackadoodle conspiracies and blanketed his ranch with ridiculous signage. Guess who had to sell the restaurant to someone else to transform it into a different thing? I know many folks who found alternative butcher shops to frequent. Now, his name is never mentioned. Maybe like-minded folks still shop there. I wouldn't know.

[NeonKnite]

There's a small local jewelry store with a big sign in the window that says "Trump Was Right About Everything".

Me and my wife both agreed that's a jewelry store we'd never give business to.

[Hatchets Molly]

I'm the same way. I find it very odd to advertise your politics or religion. For those that place a small yard sign that doesn't say stupid shit but simply "Trump/Vance 2024" or "Harris/Walz 2024" I've got nothing to say. But we have homes in our suburb that are blanketed with signs, banners, and flags that say some derogatory things. That is not showing "support." That is showing true colors.

Did their words offend you?

All the Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers. All the black people are playing victim and looking for freebies. But all you Trumptards are special snowflakes who should be judged on your own merits and not be stereotyped? As Trump said about murdered children, "Get over it. "

Explain your joke. I know you thought you were being clever, but you weren't....at least as far as I can tell.

I pointed out that Kamala does not have balls, and that you don't seem to know the difference between men and women.

You then said that you choose the genitalia of my preference. What does that even mean? Who is choosing what? What does it have to do with your first stupid joke?

Explain.

[Nate S Axel]

Blah, blah, blah... it negatively affects overall voter participation and engagement by hinging the election outcome on 12 or so states, one of which I happen to be lucky/unlucky to live in. The candidates are on a non-stop merry-go-round from PA to WI to MI. It's ridiculous.

BOTH candidates are in Vegas on Halloween! I wonder what their costumes will be?

[Bono Nettencourt]

[Dyslexicheart]

All of these are FACTS

1. Kamala had ZERO support in 2020 and was the first to drop out of the race because of it.
2. Biden chose her STRICTLY because she was a woman and the color of her skin (whatever it is this week) to be his VP.
3. She has pretty much been considered the worst VP in history the whole time she has been in office.
4. She now is going to "fix" things that 3 months ago, did not need "fixing" according to her and your fellow Dems.
5. NOT A SINGLE one of you democrats voted for her in ANY primary to be their nomination for this election this go around.


So, Trump may be a buffoon and a blow hard and whatever else you may call him. But at least we got the chance to vote for him to be the nomination, good or bad. I am not supporting someone who I did not or would not support 4 years ago like the liberal party.

Good luck.

All of this is a load of predictable MAGA nonsense. Obviously with the short time available for Biden to be replaced it was not the normal process, the party came together for their decision on leadership and did what had to be done to be competitive in the election. And of course you added in a dose of racism as the cherry on top.

[Dyslexicheart]

It's truly amazing, how some people are so downright positive (and ignorant) that the OTHER side are all nuts.

I honestly have little to no concern, nor care for anything related... meaning Politics as a whole. Never head, and likely never will.

I firmly believe, that your vote is as worthless as a napkin from Dunkin' Donuts.

If we ask 100 people who they like on American Idol or anyone of these TV contestant shows (Big Brother, Survivor, etc..) that requires the viewer to vote, and we asked, "Do you think the poll is fair or rigged?", it's a safe bet, that a solid percentage don't truly believe their call in vote really matters.

In short, many think these shows or programs are all scripted and the outcome is decided long before we see episode 1.

The same people will also say; "I don't trust they're being honest" or find many reasons as to why clicking on your PC, mobile app, texting or calling in to vote, is simply getting lost in the ether, while the executives and big shots at these companies and corporations behind the scenes are making the final decisions.

Fair?

Same applies for the various Beauty Pageants, and everything from local contests, to sports and competitions on a National or International level.

If you don't trust some Producers and big wigs at some Entertainment company in NY or LA, why would you trust the Politicians from Washington D.C.?

It has been this way forever, and even more in today's world, where Side A think that Side B are crazy, unhinged, deplorable and the rest. But their side, their view, their opinion is researched, confirmed and the better choice. Of course, this also applies with Side B and their thoughts on Side A.

"I read a poll that says he is winning", the other side, "I saw a poll for the same state, but it's a trusted poll, and it says she is winning" and the tennis volley continues.

In reality, it's pretty much an even split, and usually with any of these polls / elections. It's like asking Google if Dark Chocolate or Red Wine, or eating a lot of Vegetables is good for you. One article says yes, the other says no.

With that, if you think 50% of the world is nuts, but your side is sane, then you are equally the nutcase and guilty of being stupid and ignorant.

Sadly it's not even about Policy or the Politics at this point, people either "like him and hate her", or "like her and hate him", it's about the person.

It doesn't matter what he or she say or do, the other side will dig up a reason to inform the masses they "lied", or "flip flopped" or point out why they're no good.

I have never voted, and never will... my 10 minutes is better spent power spraying my garbage cans so they don't smell.

$tEvil

I'm sorry, but not voting is plain dumb. People like yourself deserve to lose your democracy.

""""""""""""""""I'm sorry, but not voting is plain dumb."""""""""""""""

We do live in a Free Country though, and it's not mandatory to Vote.

I choose to not Vote.

My choice. Fair?

Fair? Sure. Dumb? Absolutely.

If the last four years (or 50+ for that matter) has taught us anything it is that it doesn’t even matter if we have a president. It makes zero difference which asshole gives a speech now and then. This country hasn’t been of, by, or for the people for a long, long time. The fake outrage between the parties is a tv show, folks. Jerry Springer for the masses.

I'm going to guess you haven't been paying attention, because this election is vastly more important than any in my lifetime and I'm 53.

Go look up Project 2025. Then look at abortion. Then notice the massive tax breaks Trump gives the rich (trickle down economics is bullshit). Look at a guy deying election results. Look at guy that talks about sending the military after liberals. There are big differences between the parties right now. This was a popular narrative about 15-20 years ago, it's clearly not true now. Be smarter.

And before you call me a liberal, know that I've always been proud to be an Independent.... I voted GOP in 5 straight Presidential elections but I'm proud I never cast a vote for that less-than-human orange piece of shit. I can vote as I see fit, country over party.

If you think it doesn't matter if Trump wins or not... if he does you're going to be in for a rude awakening at some point.

I don't understand how ANYONE could not find Trump's recent "THE ENEMY WITHIN" rhetoric to be chilling, especially combined with his saying THEY should be "handled" by the military.

This is straight-up fascist dictator shit. Whether you are on the right OR the left, if you don't find this deeply disturbing, then you are a fucking nut job.

The is not the same Republican party. It has been taken over by the far right extremists. So to say both parties are the same is patently false at this point in time. Yes, the Democratic Party has far left extremists, but the GOP now ARE the extremists. Everyone that didn't get in line and pledge their loyalty to der Fuhrer Trump (Kinzinger, Cheney, Romney, and many many more) was attacked and primaried out of the party by Trump and his loyalists, or didn't even bother to run again because they knew it wasn't worth.

It's absolutely frightening what's going on... and it's really sad that so many Americans don't seem to really grasp how dire things might get.

Trump says he's going to let nut job RFK Jr run wild in the department of health. He says he's going to put Elon Musk in charge of downsizing the federal government to the tune of $2 trillion dollars. Elon today boasting that Americans are going to have to suffer hardships. Isn't that nice, the richest guy on the planet telling us all that we're going to have to suck it up and do without.

You non-voters and MAGA mush brains have NO idea what's coming if this lunatic and his merry band of clowns gets their way. It's going to be a shit show unlike anything the world has ever seen if Trump wins. Don't take my words for it, take his!

[dmbrocker]

He literally did that to capitalize on Biden's comment in order to rile up his fanbase of redneck yokels. And "white trash" is an apt description, since most of his supporters are just that.

[Metal Sludge]

One thing I’ve noticed about this thread.
Conservatives here seem to shit talk Kamala.
Liberals seem to shit talk Trump and the posters that support him.
Calling them stupid, evil etc…
Why is that?
Do liberals treat every facet of life this way?
If someone doesn’t think like them, or just in the political arena?
Genuinely curious.

But you don't question why conservatives shit talk Kamala? Or why we don't think like them?
You're not genuinely anything, but to answer you question, no we don't.
But we do not want the orange asshole in office again. It was a disaster the first time.
You try to call yourself non partisan, but we all know you're a trump supporter. Why not own it?

I get shit talking the candidates.
I don’t understand calling the people that think differently pieces of shit, stupid etc…

Because if you support that orange POS, you're one of 3 things. Racist, stupid, or selfish. Or a combination of those.
And frankly, most of his supporters are racist and stupid, very few are rich...those would be the selfish ones.

Think differently? About what? Immigration? Economy? What's your main issue? How do you think?

But please, what trump policies make you want to vote for him?
In all these years, I have never had anyone lay them out for me...Do tell.
