well we already the "Worst President" < that dump inept man!!! so anything is better! Kamala will be AWESOME!

[–] jaxxed 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

She will most likely not be a great president, but could be a good one. If Biden wasn't so poor on the Middle East, he would have been a great one, from a policy perspective.

[–] Rakonat 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Biden never was going to be a great president, lacking a a majority in both houses means you burn up too much political capital to get anything done that doesn't already have broad bipartisan support. And with how divided politics is today compared to any point in history where we had a great president, there is no such thing as bipartisan today.

Yeah, passing the new deal in the McCarthy era was cake.

[–] Rakonat 8 points 3 hours ago

... The new deal was passed 10 years before the McCarthy era. FDR was dead before McCarthy even started his red scare.

"Voting for the Lesser Evil is still Evil"

Makes sense.

I throw out all my old uneaten perfectly edible still in the packaging food that hasn't expired yet instead of donating it to a local food bank because if I can't give the nutrition-insecure folks a gourmet dinner, why should I even fucking bother?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

We're talking about evil, it'd be you have moldy chicken or moldy potatoes to eat, which is less likely to kill you if you eat it?

Too god damn true. That's mainly why I voted for Harris on my main-in ballot. She's not Trump, that's the primary reason.

[–] lennybird 27 points 12 hours ago

Yep. She's not my ideal candidate, but she is better in every single way when compared to Trump.

Since it's easier to break things than to maintain, fix, or create, the choice is obvious.

A ham sandwich can be eaten. Eating is good. That's 1 pt ham sandwich, 0 gop. Ham sandwich does more for Americans than gop.

The rich can also be eaten.

I'm gonna need a bigger smoker.

And forest's worth of hickory wood.

"Objectively" is such a fun way to describe what will always be a divisive position of power. Was any one president considered objectively good?

Well, Al Gore was voted president, and he didn't make any objectionable decisions while George Bush was living in his house and working in his office.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I do wonder what the world would look like if Al Gore had been president.

Don’t worry, voters will definitely hand both houses to the Republicans in 2026 if she’s elected and they’ll take their orders directly from Trump.

Because that’s what always happens.

I just hope Trump is dead by 2026.

There could always be some other MAGA asshole to fill the void, but the dissolution of Trump's cult of personality would be a crippling blow.
