A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.

They're not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.

It's only them and God in the voting booth. What's stopping them?

Apparently putting a huge number of people in jail for minor possession of a drug that is only illegal because of racist 70s politics is spotless, and doing so to support capitalizing the prison system, is spotless. I call it dehumanizing and unconstitutional, but I just care about empirical data that apparently is completely unimportant in tribalist capitalist worshiping countries like the USA.

I don't count "spotless prosecutorial record" as a win, but given the two viable choices I'll take it over "shockingly successful fascist demagogue" every time, and twice on Sundays.

Agree on your points, I honestly fucking hate cops and by extension prosecutors that enable and collude with them. However the only other option is worse than a pig.

Four more days. And then another year? Maybe ten?

It's exhausting.

Apparently you’re a nazi if you vote for either, so you should just not vote

what does the guy who's openly threatening the future of American democracy think about my taxes

[–] hohoho@lemmy.world 97 points 6 days ago (4 children)

He thinks your taxes are too low and billionaires taxes are too high!

I might not leave the country, but I’ll have to leave my state. I wonder if next Friday after work I’ll need to load up everything I can fit in my car and drive as far north as possible. It’s terrifying that my rights as a transgender human vanish will vanish overnight where I live. I’ve heard of bounties in Odessa.

Knowing that most of the people I live and work around are happily voting for a child rapist has broken my brain. The folks protesting at the Planned Parenthood (abortion is already illegal here) are going to vote for a man that’s probably paid for multiple abortions. It’s a sickness I can’t fathom.

My Mexican immigrant coworker believes that if Kamala gets elected that immigrants will be deported but also immigrants are getting too much free money and food stamps and things like that. He really has bought into some kind of weird belief that Donald Trump is a better candidate. He can't vote because he's not a citizen. I think he's just pissed off because he works two jobs and sees people who get free stuff and don't come here legally as lazy.

With a more representative electoral system, we could have more then two buttons. First-past-the-post voting is mathematically flawed and will always result in a two party system, which is why we must replace it as soon as we can.

Yall believe in democracy right?

Undecided voter = person who cannot discern truth

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (10 children)

I don't understand how there are undecided voters this election... I understand trump voters. Ride or die republicans, bigots, wealthy people that want more money for themselves. They are fucked up, but they make sense.

But how are you undecided? What are you weighing up. If you're not in the aforementioned groups, what single positive thing does trump offer?

Spotless is a gross way to describe her career as a prosecutor.

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 days ago (25 children)

Don't know why you're being downvoted, Harris isn't perfect but with Trump on the other side not much is required of her to be the best option.

It all depends how you define a spot. Particularly the same spot test should be applied to both candidates.

Her record is not spotless tbh.

Anyway, easy solution to the problem: ban Trump and the GOP. Bam, fascism is no more.

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, fascism will still exist if you ban Trump and GOP.

"Pedophile" is missing from the trump one...

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 29 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I’m going to go out on a pretty long limb here and suggest the possibly that they’re not actually undecided at all.
