    I would rather deeply french kiss Joe Biden than receive those sticky disgusting Trump lips on my cheek. FTR, I’m not a teen girl, nor even a girl, nor even gay. But I’ll suck Joe Biden tongue all day long before Trump puts his lips anywhere on my body.

    What’s the context anyhow? Looks recent but surprised I haven’t heard about it.

    Are there even any other politicians with this trend of getting uncomfortably close with young girls at press events? Is that part of the secret sauce to becoming president?

        Historical answers please! I probably will like to know them but will most likely be equally disgusted.

          Historically, you shook hands and kissed babies to show you were a man of the people running for office.

          That’s why my bid for the Texas Senate fell through. I got the two mixed up.

      Dude, they can’t even get Ron DeSantis to display human emotion, I don’t know if the skin suit is too tight or what, but it’s never happened.

      … so every politician from back in my day? Half the shit they did was kiss babies and give hugs and kisses to people like suit wearing germ monkeys.

      I’m pretty sure they still do it too but nobody cares enough to post about it unless they have an agenda lol.

      You’d think being a faux-billionaire russian asset election tampering felon and convicted grab her by the pussy rapist would have more of an impact over politicians doing old shit like kissing babies for cameras would matter more.

        Maybe we should get rid of all the politicians from back in your day and start electing younger ones that understand how creepy that shit is and also understand modern shit well enough to legislate on it.

          Because that’s what the orange genius is trying to emulate in the picture and gif. But he’s such a creep he’s aiming at preteens instead.

          Understanding context and history is pretty important in everyday life.

    Everybody Sucks Here.

    We deserve the freedom to vote for who best represents us, secure in the knowledge that our vote will still be cast against those we don’t want in office if our top pick didn’t win.

    Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to understand why the spoiler effect exists.

      Idk why people are down voting you; you’re not advocating for voting 3rd party but rather for moving towards a system where we can do so safely.

        Down votes are prob mostly from starting with “Everybody Sucks Here”

        It’s probably the people who don’t give a shit about FPTP but want you to vote 3rd party anyway, for…reasons…definitely not to harm Biden’s chances of winning the election because they’re foreign agents, not those reasons, other, unspecified, reasons

          Interesting… I assumed the down votes were most likely from Biden fans who hate it when people say him and Trump both suck.

          And of course both sides of the establishment coin would down vote any hint of a suggestion that we need ranked choice voting

    Imagine seeing this and thinking “yes, because Donald Trump and Joe Biden do the same thing, Donald Trump is worse” instead of recognizing how fucked we are if either of them wins

      Yeah, it seems like either one will be a walking nightmare. This may be the first election I write in Donald Duck or something.
