Trump is already regretting picking JD Vance, and if he was foisted upon him, He will be fuming against people like Putin, in terms of malice, and resentment, Trump is the King.
JD Vance: “I’m going to vote 3rd Party because I can’t stomach Trump. I think he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.”
@TonyStark@CivilityFan@mentallyalex We can all have our cake and eat it too if we reelect Biden, because he will probably die, and then we'll have Predident Kamala. It's better than candidate Kamala, and President Trump.
And what are the grounds for believing that Kamala stands a better chance of beating Trump than Biden? Please show me a shred of evidence, or persuade me with a few cogent arguments. I'm not seeing it.
It's about Biden, and his admin, and it's about the will of the people - us. The ability to simplify the world, make sense of it on a basic level, cut through the dark cloud of delusion with the sword of discrimination is the genius of the wise. For all Biden's faults, he DOES stand for America at it's best, or the best that it aspires to be, while Traitor Trump stands for tyranny, chaos, and great oppression. It's not even a debate for me, I'm presented with a binary choice, in a murky world, a binary choice between Good and Evil. It's unthinkable to do anything to hurt Biden, because that aids Trump, and anything which aids Trump winning again is a monumental blunder, of biblical proportions. Trump is a Nazi, and criminally-insane tyrant, with a <50 IQ, and a worthless heart of sin. Fuck that orange bastard to Hell ... ahem, so that's why I'm voting for Biden.. or would, if I was an American citizen.
Americans aren't as dumb as the media would have us. The fault doesn't lie with us, it lies with the lying media, whispering saucy doubts into our ears. Well, I, for one, am not afraid to tell the oligarch-owned media to fuck all the way off. You see, I trust my own eyes, and ears, and brain, and they are telling me that Biden is perhaps the only man who CAN defeat Trump, and I'd rather go into battle with a blunt, rusty sword, and buckler made from dried pig-skin, stretched over twigs, than go naked and unarmed to be slaughtered by the Antichrist.
Ron Filipkowski Wow. Zelensky to Bloomberg News: “If Trump knows how to end this war, he should tell us today.” Then says if Trump intends to abandon them to the Russians if he wins, he wants to know now so he can prepare.
I watch lots of youtube, a movie review on Twitch, and never watch CNN/MSNBC or anything else... ever. I drifted away from it all, because it's .. depressing dross. I can get all the news and analysis on mastodon. That's where I'm at.
Debating is not governing. My advice to Biden supporters and Americans in general is to double down on your support for Biden, if only to confound those who wish to destroy your morale. Biden had a cold, it wasn't a strong performance, but at the end of the day, so what? Democracy, or a twisted, orange version of Nazi Germany, or Putin's Russia is the alternative. Vote accordingly.
The pain of contemplating how much damage Trump has caused to America is depressing me to such a degree, I'm going to go to bed, and find solace in unconsciousness. 👍
@samhkennedy@ArenaCops@gfjacobs@Nonilex Calm rational analysis concludes that while Biden is old, his cognitive faculties seem to be operating in the 'normal' range, while Trump is clearly exibiting symptoms of chronic dementia, comorbid with obvious criminal-insanity, in the form of Malignant Narcissism.
The social psychologist Erich Fromm first coined the term "malignant narcissism" in 1964. He characterized the condition as a solipsistic form of narcissism, in which the individual takes pride in their own inherent traits rather than their achievements, and thus does not require a connection to other people or to reality. Edith Weigert (1967) saw malignant narcissism as a "regressive escape from frustration by distortion and denial of reality", while Herbert Rosenfeld (1971) described it as "a disturbing form of narcissistic personality where grandiosity is built around aggression and the destructive aspects of the self become idealized." Psychoanalyst George H. Pollock wrote in 1978: "The malignant narcissist is presented as pathologically grandiose, lacking in conscience and behavioral regulation with characteristic demonstrations of joyful cruelty and sadism". In 1983, M. Scott Peck used malignant narcissism as a way to explain evil.
