      Not by a long shot. Perhaps this is at least opening eyes a bit to how horrid the US duoply is. Trump could literally take a dump on an American flag and he’d still get the republican party vote which is nearly half the country, because what are they going to do?? Vote Democrat?! This two party bullshit is engrained to be part of an individual’s identity. You don’t just up and switch.

        Engrained is a funny way to say “survival mechanism”. I don’t vote Democrat because I like them. I vote Democrat because I’m a gay, anticapitalist, and transgender immigrant and don’t want to be the victim of Republicans, who constantly preach about how much they want me to not exist. Democrats may not accomplish anything but at least they aren’t calling for my death. There isn’t another viable option in the US, but if there was I would vote for them instead.

          There’s not a thing wrong with Harris as a candidate.

          Can’t say the same for treason trump.

            You can’t actually, truly believe this right? You literally agree with her on every single issue in the world? Remember, you’re literally posting in a thread about how dumb it is to have blind party loyalty.

        If any candidate actually filmed themselves taking a dump on the flag I would be so impressed I might vote for them.
