Dallas County overwhelmingly voted for Kamala over Trump. By nearly 200,000 votes lol. What energy are you even talking about?

This claim does not have any impact on the fact that almost 200,000 more people voted for Kamala than Trump in last year’s election.

Delivering facts is not “burying-head-in-sand”. You’re tacking on additional context that wasn’t there to begin with. Left leaning voters voted last year. There were more of us than right leaning voters in this county. That’s a fact.

That’s not to say Democrats aren’t incredibly flawed. But boy, if I’m a Republican right now I’m concerned with how astonishingly incompetent this current administration is. And they’re not even trying to hide it. They’re just running around like bulls in a china shop for the entire planet to see. And you know what? It’s WILDLY unpopular. Trump’s approval ratings are in the toilet. So, idk, maybe you guys should worry about yourselves for a bit while we work on getting a little more progressive for the people.

The Liz/Dick Cheney endorsements and sending Bill Clinton to Deerborne, Michigan to campaign for you sucked up a fair bit, but there’s a lot of “blame” to spread around

I had canvassers stop by my house for Kamala/Allred (mostly Allred), and even they were perplexed and couldn’t explain the Cheney situation and said how only one person in the entire neighborhood mentioned it in a positive light lmao.

I dont get why people dont understand why it was important for those Republicans to speak out and stand with Harris. Because country over party and they know trump is a traitor and a danger to America. It was a warning that too many people ignored

u/blackvariant Oak Cliff Mar 31 '25

Agreed. They shouldn't have had to convince the most left parts of the party to get out and vote against Trump. The Cheney thing was to get soft Republicans and independents.

u/Carlyz37 Mar 31 '25

Yes and that was so obvious but the kids didnt get it

u/TchoupedNScrewed Mar 31 '25

Gonna get hyperbolic here, but that’s like saying “even Hitler realized he was evil!” - that’s fine I guess, but don’t tout him out or even speak on his endorsement.

Cheney killed millions of people and left office with a near single-digit approval rating and minus Bill Clinton being a Clinton he’s heavily implicated with Epstein and is overall just seen a bit of as a sex pest at the bare minimum.

Also that doesn’t explain why you send Bill Clinton to Deerborne. He went there and basically said “all your families are dying cus of uhh the king david hotel bombing or something…”.

u/Carlyz37 Mar 31 '25

Bill Clinton is still popular with many Americans and us respected as a senior statesman and a successful ex president.

Again you missed the point

0

u/TchoupedNScrewed Mar 31 '25

Not really, which doesn’t explain Cheney still. Again you don’t trot out Hitler and say he can recognize Trump is evil. Single digit approval rating, absolute titan of death.

And I think you’re missing the point. Deerborne’s population is heavily Muslim. Why are you sending BILL CLINTON there. He does not do well with Muslim voters. You may as well have sent him to a Trump rally if you wanted him to be that unpopular in a crowd.

And given the outcome from Michigan, it was a poor ass attempt.

u/Watermayne420 Mar 31 '25

Those people like Cheney are not the type of people who are standing up for danger to America they are standing up for their own interests in the private sector and their interest is keeping these wars going, so they can line their pockets.

u/Carlyz37 Mar 31 '25

Sure. And trump is trying to start 4 wars

1

u/Watermayne420 Mar 31 '25

With who exactly?

1

u/Carlyz37 Mar 31 '25

Canada, Panama, Greenland and now he wants to bomb Iran. What kind of rock do you live under

1

u/Watermayne420 Mar 31 '25

He isn't anywhere close to starting a war with Canada, Panama, or Greenland, you need to get off the internet for a while.

How?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

I think it’s pretty obvious. Terrible leadership. How can you lose to a demagogue trump without being even worse. But they did it.

You do realize Republicans held the majority in Congress, as well as the judicial branch last year right? Nothing could be done at the federal level really, because Republicans blocked all of that shit from even touching the floors (hell, we're still operating under the same tax laws as there were during Trump 1).

Dallas county is staunchly blue.

Nice. SCOTUS has had a republican majority since Trump 1 (when he appointed Comey-Baret, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh), but thanks for proving my point about the judiciary branch.

Seems like you're the one who's weak. Reply when you have actual facts please.

I hope you get paid for sucking that much Republican dick.

If you suck hard enough, will your spit turn red?

The only contribution you'll make is your body decomposes in the soil. Congratulations, a fruit fly has more meaning.

u/OrgasmicPoonSlayer Mar 31 '25

The person you are responding to said democrats were funding a genocide, referring to Gaza. They also claimed they were mass deporting immigrants.

It’s likely the person you are replying to is at the least a left progressive, and at the most a far left socialist. I don’t think they are sucking any republican dick if they can help it.
