Michigan fucking loves her. Damn.

also, Trump did nothing for them

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What state could claim he did something for them? That this once again is a close race constantly boggled my mind.

State of deez nutz.

Ask Wisconsin how that Foxconn contract he helped secure for them turned out.

(For those not familiar, and disinclined to investigate further, the answer is "Not great.")

Wisconsin here. I'm really surprised that vocal trumpers in this state aren't strung by their balls by fellow citizens.

But then again people still vote for Ron Johnson and Robin Vos

I am one of the many Wisconsin expats that has abandoned the state until it gets its shit back together. The thing you have to understand about the Wisconsin electorate, is that, in the aggregate, it's fucking dumb, mean, entitled, and will never reconsider its beliefs. The tea party movement really thoroughly fucked the state for the foreseeable future.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That lines up pretty well with my experience. I lived in Wisconsin for about 2-1/2 years. It's not a state that has nothing going for it. The structure is absolutely there for it to be a successful and enjoyable place that residents could have right to be proud of. With what I encountered though the phrase Wississippi was very apt. And yeah, it's because too many people there choose for it to be that way.

WI used to be heavily pro-labor, relatively progressive, and on a positive track, although it certainly was struggling to come to terms with its historical blemishes that persisted into deep systemic issues (racism and segregation have always been a massive issue in the state, but have only worsened in the last couple decades). When the right overtook almost the entirety of governor for a long stretch, it utterly broke the state though. The upside is that WI and MN were functionally identical until one went hard right and the other soft left and the result makes a wonderful case study for how vapid and destructive the entirety of the US right and Republicans are.

Is there a source or context? Otherwise this is just a random graphic

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago

It's simply a reply, no more, no less.

However, I never like to leave an empty belly:

Talk dirty to me.

Also, Trump's a rapist, convicted felon, and just plain weird.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

I'm glad you went easy on the lying treasonous cowardly pedophile traitor, Fatty McFelon.
Warms me heart.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yes, yes we do. We love women leaders, we keep voting for them.

Get your shit together PA. Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania is game over.

Get your shit together PA.

Pennsyltuckians would be very upset if they could read.

Kamala Harris is going to wipe the floor with Trump.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

I need you to be right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

We are!

She can’t do it alone, and we can’t assume that she’ll win. Keep pushing until she’s sworn in Jan 2025.

This is Trump’s last chance. The republicans will literally stop at nothing to ensure he wins.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Will forever laugh at the "Biden or busters" and Anarcho-Bidenists saying swapping to Kamala would be a bad idea electorally. Biden was really unpopular.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I think him "voluntarily" stepping aside helped. If he were primaried, that might not have gone as well as it would look like he got kicked out, and that generally doesn't have a great result for the incumbent party

Did they only take polls in Pittsburgh?

North Carolina poll respondents: "Black AND a woman?!" as well as "Black AND a woman!!"
