    I’m not American, so, to me, Kamala is the clear choice over a convicted felon. Americans I know are telling me she’s “done nothing” and is “a waste of space”. Why are people saying this?

        The impression I keep getting is that these people do not feel like she’d be a good president, but I don’t know why anyone thinks that. One person did tell me Trump “literally gave me money” when he was in power, so I don’t know what to think lol

          Trump didn’t. He just signed a bill introduced by others.

          Democratic politicians pushed for and voted for giving all citizens a payout when the pandemic forced everybody to isolate, which happened when Trump was president.

            Ah, I think I remember people being very excited about how they were going to spend the money they received!

          If you want to have a fun* time, press the matter on why they feel that way.

          Well, uh, she cackles or something. Translation: she laughs. OMG, just like Hillary did!

          This seems to be the extent of their argument. Meanwhile, because Kamala laughs and doesn’t have a penis, that kind of argument stands, but the tone police will rush in to tell everyone in a Very Serious Way that talking about JD’s couch fuckin’ is not something anyone Very Serious should ever do, LOL. Um, why? If Kamala’s supposed “cackle” is a supposed issue, why isn’t JD’s alleged couch fuckin’?

            You know what? When my friends send me endless memes in the chat, I too cackle like Kamala. It’s nice to have a presidential candidate with so much joy in her heart that she cannot help but share it.

            Unlike trump, who I don’t think I’ve ever seen laugh, chuckle, chortle, or anything else that would remotely telegraph joy other than a froggy grin when he’s leering at his daughter.

      Because you’re talking to either tankies or conservatives, both of which have a vested interest in sowing division within the populace

      this was hillary clinton’s criticism of Bernie Sanders, also. I think republicans don’t realize they’re operating out of the Hillary Clinton Campaign this time. Republicans might as well say “Its His Turn”

      Friend, I’m sorry to tell this, but the American you know might be the bad ones.
