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.

Countless was a little under 2000 people (at least as far as Harris is concerned) That's about half of what her predecessor in the same office did over roughly the same time period.

Now, that conviction is for "possession, sale, or cultivation". Most paid a fine rather than serve jail time. We also don't know the exact breakdown of possession vs sale vs cultivation.

We also know that Harris pushed for decriminalization and legalization in California, and has pushed some of the same as vice president. I think Joe is the roadblock there, even if he was convinced to pardon a bunch of people for simple possession.

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

It's exhausting.

Virginian here. It's every year for us. State positions are in the odd years.

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.

Her record is not spotless tbh.

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

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

You not only need to vote for the candidate of their choice, you also need to match whatever they pick. Yey! Democracy!

Enter to win!

Prices included: " new president!"

Rules:

-Pick whoever you want

-If the electoral college picks the person you picked, then congratulations! You picked the winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆!

-if the electoral college picks someone else, then congratulations! You got a different president than the one you picked because your vote is worthless!

Yey! Democracy!

But do go vote, this is just a sarcastic comment about the stupid way we pick...the electoral college picks presidents for us like kings. The rest of the ballot is full of things that you do actually vote for, like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc. Only the presidential election is not actually your thing. The rest of it is probably more important anyway so who cares if the electoral college picks Mexico's president to be our president. They could pick Kim Jung Un, but our president is usually a lame duck anyway the entire time due to the Republican party cock blocking their every move....like your student loans! Remember those? The fucking republican party block all attempts so far. But again, don't worry about it, it's not our thing. Let's let the electoral college to worry about it.
