Who are they going to vote for? If Trump isn’t the Republican candidate, you think they would vote for a Democrat?

Turns out that was a different person with the same name.

NYT was reporting a supposed layout that would make this either a missed shot or the shot, but immediately after it hit

People in this post thinking that any fact will matter to the MAGA base…

Oh you silly goose. I said right wing media. Facts and truth don’t matter to them.

How long before right wing media is claiming the shooter was trans?

Nope, De la Cruz will not win, I’m not stupid. But if my vote for Biden is going to get overridden by others in my state, I might as well vote for the person I actually agree with.

And I have never told anyone not to vote for Biden. I’ve presented why I am not voting for Biden. But most people on here seem hell-bent that anyone criticizing Biden must be a fascist Trump plant.

I mean, yea. Of course it has become a haven for disinformation. That’s why he bought it.

It’s because if they challenge the narrative at all, they get cut out of coverage in the future. Then the other for-profit media outlets have coverage they won’t have access to and they’ll lose viewership.

It’s why something like the BBC can push candidates like they can, because if you cut out the BBC then you’ve cut out any televised national coverage in the UK. Here if ABC decides to really go after a narrative then Republicans still have Fox, NBC, CBS, etc

If you’re not the consumer, you’re the product

Ok. I’ll let you believe what you want to I guess. Evidently Obama actively supported multiple genocides instead of passively supporting one.

No, it’s not. And pushing that narrative is why we’re in this shitty mess.

My state will go for Trump. It went for Trump in 2020 by a wide margin. I will not be voting for Biden, I’ll be voting De La Cruz, probably.

It’s in there, you have to scroll through ads

Are you joking or not? I can’t tell.

Oh, I don’t disagree with you. But understand that sitting in a place where a national election has an effect on you is a privilege. Project 2025 is already becoming a reality in my state, and there’s nothing that’s going to stop it. Trump, Biden, doesn’t matter to me. I’m gonna sound like a doomer, but queer people in my state like me are already fucked. And Democrats at the state level can’t do anything because Republicans have supermajorities in both legislative houses and they hold the governorship. My state will go for Trump. My vote for president will not matter. It’s gonna be third party (probably socialist). Don’t tell me I “have to vote for Biden”, I’ve made my calculation too.

People keep saying this like people just started attacking Biden. I’ve been saying this since December 2020. A lot of people have.

And I’ve said this before: Republicans have a supermajority in my state. The national elections don’t make a lick of difference to me because even if Biden is elected, Project 2025 is coming to my state. And Biden won’t stop it. There aren’t many national Democrats that will. Like you know what they did with abortion in 2021? Yea, nothing.

That being said, I’m not advocating for people not voting. I think every single person who is eligible should vote whether I agree with their vote for not. I just refuse to vote against my own best interest, and that includes Biden.

Ok? Was it presented as unedited?

You mean like when you shut down primaries so you’re guaranteed a victory?

They are being performed in very low numbers (like single digits in the country, and in very extreme cases). But it shouldn’t matter, no part of government should be interfering in medical decisions, even if they’re very rare. Ever. The Republicans in our state started with that and trans women in sports, and ended with proposing constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. They’ve already banned trans health care for minors and started banning books in schools. And they’ve proposed banning all gender affirming care in the state and ran out of time.

Rational self interest is what made me vote for Hillary and Biden the first time. I’m in a deep red state, my state’s electoral college votes are going to Trump without a doubt. I’ll be voting Democrat down ticket, because in my state the national elections won’t matter. It’s the state banning gender affirming care, banning abortions, privatizing schools, etc. And Democrats can’t stop it at the state level (Republicans have supermajorities in both legislatures and will hold the governorship for at least 2 more years), and at the national level they don’t seem to try to care to try to stop it either. If I had resources, I would have already left the country. Many of my friends have.

So my vote isn’t going to count either way, it might as well try to serve as a wake up call to the Democrats that they have to be more than “not really fascist” to win an election.

Yup, you’re right. I don’t like Biden, therefore my queer ass is clearly a fascist.

And you wonder why people aren’t swayed by your argument.
