      Of course he’s not, He’s a stable genius: “I took it, and I aced it,” “I think it was 35… 30 questions. And let me tell you, you know, they always show you the first one: a giraffe, a tiger or a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?'” “The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ So they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that.’ So I said, ‘Yeah. So it’s person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-brags-aced-cognitive-test-new-hampshire-1234948621/amp/

        Why wouldn’t we?

        They don’t even need to. Retirement age exists because we acknowledge that passed some point people are to old to function properly on the job. So what the fuck are they doing in politics?

        When offered 2 bad choices i’ll stick with the lesser evil though, which is the one not literally quoting Hitler and campaign promising a dictatorship.

        Yes.

        When you vote for someone you are also voting for the advisors and their other support staff. I much prefer Bidens support staff.

            Oh no, that’s worse than anything Trump has done, you’ve convinced me, switching sides now.

            Sorry your guy isn’t doing anything to help sales, tough gig.

                    You are effectively voting for Trump or Biden - whichever candidate you dislike more. By choosing not to vote for one of the major parties you ethically own the awful consequences of whoever is elected.

                    America has a horrible electoral system and it will almost certainly have a horrible choice in the general election - it fucking sucks. But if Trump is elected and women die because abortion is made nationally illegal or, if you’re conservative, I don’t know… either way, that shit is on you if you choose not to participate.

                    Yeah, it sucks, but voting is your obligation.
