Isn't biden older though?
Edit: holy damn. wasnt criticizing or trying to point out ANYONE's age, I really dgaf whos older or by how much in terms of election. I was just asking a simple question
He's not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.
For those who struggle with math, that means that Biden is less than 4 years older than trump. The people criticizing Biden's age and not trump's as well never actually gave a shit about Biden's age. Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump. They know they're full of shit, but it's not about making sense, it's about trying to obfuscate what's pretty clear so that independents and undecideds give up, get frustrated, get confused, and/or get demotivated so that they either stay home or vote 3rd party. There are only two viable parties in this bullshit first past the post system; one of them wants Project 2025 and one of them doesn't. Look at bullet points for what that is and then get your ass to the polls. It's that simple. The only people trying to convince you that it's not that simple are the ones who don't want you to look at those bullet points because it's pretty obvious whether most people are for or against that playbook. It's damning.
First of all vote.
Second of all, I’m sick of this fall in line and do what we say bullshit.
Fuck you!
I will do what I want and if it happens to fall in line with what you tell me to then you’re lucky I’m even still going to do it.
Fucking authoritarian bullshit is supposed to be on their side
"Hey, the other guys are fascist, so if you don't like fascism, you probably should vote against them"
REEEE YOU'RE A FASCIST FOR EVEN MENTIONING THAT MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE A CERTAIN WAY
Fun fact: all fascists are authoritarian, but not all who are authoritarian are fascists.
The other commenter rightly called your condescendingly controlling behavior based on adherence to authority authoritarian without calling you a fascist.
You may want to check who replied when bud
Huh? You're saying that the timing of his reply is somehow germane to whether or not telling people what to do is authoritarian behavior?
Btw, just for the record, I don't believe in not voting and will hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil when necessary. That's not my problem with your comments.
My problem is you pretty much ORDERING people to follow the example of you and me rather than advocating for it without authoritarian language.
I didn't tell anyone to do shit. I was simply pointing out that suggesting if people don't like something they should vote against is in no way fascist or authoritarian or any of those things. What the fuck do you think campaigning and canvassing is?
The sheer level of mental gymnastics you'd have to do to think it is is frankly impressive.
I never said to fall in line. I said to look up bullet points on what Project 2025 is, look up who is for and who is against it, and get to the polls. I didn't even say who to vote for. Everybody voting will result in the will of the people, and as somebody who likes having a democracy, that's what I'm advocating for. I have my own opinions about which party is more pro democracy, and it's probably pretty obvious to anybody who is paying attention to politics, but I was intentionally vague so that people can come to their own conclusions based on "doing their own research".
But I guess for you, telling people to inform themselves and vote based on factual information makes me an authoritarian. Cool.
Please dont vote. I have a good guess where that vote would go
To Harris, just like I said it would
