    “When I hear Donald Trump talk … he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years.’ Dude, you were president for four years! As I recall, you were up there in the Oval Office!"

      Trump was in the Oval Office? I seem to recall mostly seeing photos of him at his various golf courses when he was president….

        The times he tried to shame Obama for golfing are still some of the funniest shit he’s ever said. Iirc trump spent more time golfing in the first two years of his 4 year term than Obama did in 8 years.

        He had to hawk canned beans at one point so he used the oval office for that.

          I’m still in denial about him pulling such a terribly undignified marketing crap. I refuse to believe it. I just can’t accept a world where such satire actually happens.

    Political rally attendees really are just children and dedicated democrats really are just Trump supporters that find vulgarity distasteful it seems.

        The article is quite literally about democrats applauding Trump’s rhetoric, coming from a democrats mouth. Between this and Dems cheering for Harris’ copying of Trump’s border policy during one of her rallies, y’all don’t have a leg to stand on any more.

          So, you read only the headline, and didn’t even understand what the headline said…

          I can see why you are a trump voter. Minimal effort and still did even that effort wrong.

            Not a trump voter and didn’t misread. “Just joking” is also the excuse many trump supporters use to excuse their far right fascist when he goes off script.

              So how does using Trumps line of “how can we trust Harris to get any of her promises done now when she has been vice president for 4 years and didn’t do them then” against him by saying he was president for 4 years make sense with what you are saying if you read this and understand it?

              What am I missing that links this to what you are saying?

                There is no way I can answer that without suggesting things about you that would get me banned, so I’m just going to say get well soon.

                  Ah, not creative enough? I mean, you could even just answer the question and not even make it about me, just the actual answer. That would do it.

              There’s a hive mind and you are the lone free thinker who sees the truth… as you spout the same lazy pessimistic 'they’re all the same" bullshit that pathological contrarians always fall back on. How edgy and big brained you are.

                I didn’t say they’re all the same. Democrats are right wing neoliberal representatives of corporate interests which run contrary to the long term survival of humanity; who Republicans are far right wing neoliberal representatives of corporate interests which run contrary to the long and short term survival of humanity but also are openly racist. Both openly outright support genocide ass so their voters.

                There’s plenty of politicians that do not fall under these categories, in fact three of whom are currently running for president, two of whom have ballot access for 400+ electoral votes.

                  Of course, two weeks to the election: “vote third party!” May as well be saying, “Throw away your votes and make sure that you have even less say in the outcome of this election than most people already have, and let the even smaller minority decide for you.”

                  Third parties should be valid choices, but they aren’t. Not in a First Past The Post voting system. They are never the sound choice when FPTP always leads to two diametrically opposed major parties. IIf you want third parties to be relevant and good choices beyond local elections, advocate for voting system reform, not for people to throw away their votes out of dissatisfaction with the status quo. For now, we live in reality, and we have to vote accordingly.

                  Edit: Also, way to say “I’m not saying they are the same. They are different… I’m just saying their differences are essentially negligible” pffft. Ok.

          The use of trump’s rhetoric is sarcastic. Pretty Obviously so, given the context of the speaker, the setting, well, everything about it.

            I’m pretty sure Harris cosponsoring the most draconian immigration bill proposed in US history wasn’t sarcastic.

              Since when does a vice president co-sponsor a bill? VP is not a senator. They aren’t even allowed to address the senate without permission.

              You are talking out your ass about shit you don’t even understand. Just repeating faux news and truth™ social talking points.

                Anyone on earth can cosponsor a bill. A random citizen can introduce a bill. How do you not know the basics of government? This is literally a process you learn about in 3rd grade.

      Only to someone with a ridiculously immature worldview who hasn’t been paying attention for the past several years.
