08.02.2026 19:52 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah it was a breakthrough for me realizing people don't really care if you answer any given small talk question, you just have to give a vaguely relevant response to keep the conversation going
08.02.2026 19:45 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah any country with problems with America has a golden opportunity right now to resolve them with some personal bribes to Trump

08.02.2026 13:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Only if they all picked the same one, which would require the same kind of coordination around whoever has the best chance that I'm asking for
08.02.2026 13:05 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I do prefer that strategy to just abstaining, but I'd most prefer you vote for the best candidate who has a chance rather than for no-hopers
08.02.2026 12:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Abstaining when Trump is on the ballot is about 50% as bad as actively voting for him
08.02.2026 12:48 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Obviously if constituents make a foolish choice they get some of the blame, what are we even talking about here? You're really claiming people who voted for Trump did nothing wrong? How about people who voted for Hitler?
08.02.2026 03:51 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0How so? Kamala could have done a lot better but on the other hand anyone who failed to vote for her to keep Trump out made a huge mistake
08.02.2026 02:08 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Yeah Hasan has his issues but there is also a really deranged hatedom constantly making up new malicious lies to throw at him
07.02.2026 22:16 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0I blame both Kamala and everyone who didn't vote for her, no need to pick just one
07.02.2026 20:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Both political parties and voters have agency and should try to produce good outcomes. I don't think anybody's disputing that it's very much in the interest of American voters to have Dems rather than Republicans in office.
