    Some people are privileged enough where it doesn’t impact them either way, or are at least stupid enough not to notice

      Everyone is going to be impacted by this election.

      If Trump is elected, we’ll be on a path to dictatorship and civil war. If Harris is elected, we’re on a path to World War III.

      No American is escaping the consequences of this one.

        Nothing about this statement is even remotely true.

        why does harris mean world war 3?

        is it because of funneling weapons to israel? because trump has promised to do that too. and has also promised NOT to work for a ceasefire.

          Basically, Harris is a war hawk. When she accepted the DNC’s nomination, she promised America would have the world’s most lethal fighting force.

          On Ukraine, when they were asked about it in the debate, Trump emphasized the need to negotiate peace. Harris emphasized unconditional support for Ukraine.

          Yes, there’s not a lot of daylight between Trump and Harris’s statements on Israel. But Trump’s statements were made before the conflict escalated to involve Lebanon, and I’m not actually sure if he even means what he says. Harris has maintained her commitment to Israel as the conflict has escalated, and even as it has generated discord in her party. I definitely believe that her commitment to Israel is sincere.

          On China, it’s hard to be certain about Harris’s personal views, but the Biden administration that she is part of has escalated tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Trump, in stark contrast, is reported to have questioned the value of supporting Taiwan at all. (I’m not saying the US should abandon efforts at maintaining peace in the Taiwan Strait. But the US should definitely not be escalating tensions either.) Right now there’s no reason to believe Harris differs from Biden on the issue, especially considering her hawkish tendencies elsewhere.

          I think he was talking about big scary Pootin, threatening for the undecillionth time to push the big scary red button. Don’t think about Pootin being to scared to even call for a mobilization, just ignore that he’d rather throw north koreans into the meat grinder than his own voter base, because he’s scared of them. Just ignore that. Focus on that big red scary button. WW3 around the corner!

          Ah yes Harris is totally working towards a ceasefire

          Like the one that Hamas just rejected because it did not call for Israel to stop bombing or for it to withdraw troops or for Palestinians to be able to return to their homes

          Yes definitely a ceasefire if you let one side keep bombing

        I’m expecting at least some rioting if Trump loses. Just stocked up on booze and popcorn so I can ride this week out.

        We’re on a path to WW3 anyway, trumps entire mandate from his handlers is to destabilize the US before things kick off so we’re in a weak position
