Trump has a long record of stealing from Joe Average and had been doing it since between 2016. Joe Average thinks he’s clever for doing it.

Joe Average will keep voting for them to pick his pocket, as long as they promise cruelty to the "Other Side".

Joe Average knows he is getting fucked over either way

  • Polling suggests Joe Average didn't expect this much fucking.

    • They knew, they just figured it would be against people who didn’t look quite like them or have the same accent as them.

  • No offense, and you're not entirely wrong, but this is one of the big reasons we are in this situation politically. Millions of voters stayed home because they thought this way. The result: America is the embarrassment of the world, no longer to be trusted. We all must vote, even if we must hold our noses while doing it. We can't allow known thugs to be in command. (I was a life long GOP voter, to my shame, until 2004. How the American public didn't see the puke of a DJT presidency coming is beyond the pale.)

    • >because they thought this way.

      Technically, no, they did not come up with this thought on their own. It's been heavily propagandized that 'voting does no good, so just stay home". I just want to point that out as it's an active attack on American voters.

    • What I never understood is this binary system in the US - why wouldn’t you allow some other parties or reform the system in a way that allows more diversity.

      But it’s of course a hellishly complex problem
