This is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
I knew Harris would wipe the floor, but this is incredible.
The immigrants are eating our pets\s
It would be funnier if there wasn't a sizeable percentage of people who support the cheetoh. There is still a real chance of that demented racist pos winning come november.
With any luck, that number just got smaller, even if by just a little bit.
Something I noticed is that even Twitter was making fun of Trump. I never thought I'd see that happen.
EXECUTE THE BABY was trending for at least a little bit
The Zionist tangent from Kamala is likely going to alienate more Muslim-Americans, which genuinely puts Michigan into question. Muslim-Americans have been leaning more towards Stein and West than Harris according to polling, so we will have to see.
Dude read the room. You've railroaded a ton of threads to talk about Harris and Israel. You don't have to force every conversation into that. Let this comment thread be about something else.
You realize that by demanding people shut up about genocide, you've actually incentivized users to talk about genocide, right?
I am literally talking about the debate, though. This isn't a random Harris thread, she very clearly went on a Zionist tirade in the face of her losing ground in Michigan and other Swing States with high percentages of Muslim-American voters, that's factually a bad move that could impact her electoral chances, regardless of my personal disdain for genocide.
Yeah she did, and you started another comment thread in this post about it. Talk about it there. You don't need to railroad every conversation into trying to convince people that Harris is a monster. Let other people talk about other stuff from time to time.
It isn't derailing, the comment was about Trump's chances getting smaller, when there are material reasons for Trump's chances to get larger despite his poor performance specifically due to salient issues in swing states.
Counterpoint: Harris doesn't need to be a monster such that it is a dereliction of democratic duty to not speak about it constantly.
Post-script to that counterpoint: You don't need to railroad people talking about Copmala Handcuffs being a flamethrower unto human life and liberty her entire career into trying to convince people it's worth helping and hoping she gets a new fuel tank handed to her.
barsssssssss

Maybe that was lost in translation. Maybe what they meant to say is they love cunnilingus.
