Don’t compare a dog to that piece of shit.

I think they meant dog shit.

Lindsay Graham is a piece of dog shit.

I prefer my dog's shit to Lindsey Graham.

Dog shit is fertile, Graham is a sterile fuckwad. dog shit > Graham.

He'd probably shoot it in a gravel pit or something

He passed on that VP and managed to pick a possibly worse one.

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Nor do they vote for weird people, or people with weird VP picks.

Taking “hold my beer” culture to the voting booth!

The “I could drink a beer with him” voter mentality

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Well at least this dummy knows enough to vote for Harris.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

That's not true!

Wait, I am a man. Wait, I'm dumb.

Among women, Harris had a 21 point lead, with 56 percent to Trump's 35 percent.

Oof

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 11 points 4 months ago

But the survey had a margin of error of 2.3%, so it really could be Harris leading Trump also. The wording of this article title is a helping hand for Trump when he is pouring over his printed out "news" his handlers give him every morning.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Most importantly, a significant proportion of the American population — well beyond what should ever be considered normal or acceptable — consider a sociopathic, convicted criminal, rapist, probable pedophile, who has never worked an honest day in his life, was born with a silver spoon firmly lodged deep inside his asshole, and very obviously suffers from multiple personality and neurological illnesses; they consider this person a viable candidate, when he should be confined to a padded room.

Now ask yourself this! If the Democrats represent freedom and Trump is the greatest threat America has ever faced (HE IS), why do the Democrats tolerate a turnkey totalitarian surveillance apparatus? Why would you watch the country straddle the precipice of fascism, and let a big brother style, gustapo surveillance apparatus, exist for your successor to just take over and command. Only 0.00000001% of your employees have ever stood against your criminal behavior, and you expect us to believe that these people would defend us from a hostile government or adversary?

Something doesn't add up then. Outward Intelligence gave Harris a +4 to +6 in their national poll. If she is losing men by 1 and winning women by 21 it suggests that women are either like 3x less likely to vote, or there is some serious +R herding going on.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 62 points 4 months ago

It is truly sickening that this is even close.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago

My gender needs to step it tf up tbh

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago

If you take out the stupid men, his support disappears.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

There are still stupid women voting... Unfortunately

[-] Marthirial@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Correct. Men is quite broad (ha ha). Break it down by education and we have a cleared picture.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I know what you mean, but I didn’t mean education. There are well educated people who support Trump. I meant stupid people. If you take out the stupid people, educated or not, you take out all of Trump’s supporters.

Not with real men. Harris is winning with real men.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

I'm ok with co-signing this particular No True Scotsman fallacy.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago
[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

How much were undecided, and how much were Kennedy supporters? You just know all those Kennedy nut jobs will come home to roost in Trump's column when he drops out. So it could be as bad as 55 Trump, 45 Harris - or with the error thrown in - 57 Trump 43 Harris.

I'm just saying.. you can get stage blood from amazon for like $10.

Ready for something creepy as fuck?

Revelations 13:3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

You prove exactly how religion works and it hilarious

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

The even more silly part is people who still believe this stuff are the same ones voting for Trump.

This blog post got spread around the internet a few years back. Came to mind again the other day right after the shooting.

[-] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It was his ear. It was far from a deadly wound. Also the ear heals pretty fast.

[-] OopsAllTwix@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

They do bleed quite a bit. I fell and ripped a drawer pull off with my ear. The blood on my pillowcase looked terrible. My ear was fine after a couple of days.

Jokes and (valid) worries about how many men are still supporting this dumpster fire aside... A poll like this has got to be setting off the fire alarms at Trump campaign HQ and I am giddy as hell to see it. The last time Democrats came this close to winning the overall male vote was 2008. If this margin holds out we could be looking at an absolute blowout (or at least as close as one gets in today's climate). Shame the Senate map means we won't get a 60-seat Senate, though...

[-] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, people are looking at this all wrong. These numbers are incredibly close. Trump about a 5 point lead over Biden in 2020 and 8 against Clinton in 2016. Now he has 1 point versus Harris in 2024? Dude is losing, badly.

[-] snow_bunny@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Thank goddess for the 19th amendment.

We really just need that twilight zone box that if you press the button you get 10,000 dollars but it kills the previous person who pressed the button.
