    I hate Babylon Bee, but a broken clock & all that.

    Either this situation isn’t as bad as they said it would be during the campaign (which is what Babylon Bee is implying) or it IS as bad as they said it is, and they’re letting it happen anyways.

    Either way, they’re spineless fucking liars.

      Theres two main reasons not to stop it from happening:

      1. It would make the DNC as bad as the GOP

      2. The people don’t really deserve more help, tbh.

        For point 2: What about people who voted for Harris and who will definitely be persecuted under republican domestic policy? What about people in other countries who will suffer and die from republican foreign policy? What about everyone on the planet who will suffer even more from climate change due to republican environmental policy?

          THE PEOPLE. All of them. THE MAJORITY OF EVERYONE. They chose as a country, as one whole. Imagine if that was you up there and they chose that old piece of dogshit over you, would you be in a generous mood to lay down your life for them?

            Of the 261 million adults in the US, about 73.5 million of them voted for Trump. That’s about 28%. When factoring in non-adults, that number goes to just under 22%. That’s not anywhere close to a majority.

              Not voting when you are able to was as bad as voting for Trump. The sample size of 73.5 Million, not even including abstainers, is enough to draw conclusions about the mentality of the larger population of the USA.
