These posters are not serious people.
I agree, the problem seems to be, some of them actually think they are.
well again not looking at the factsā¦ US inflation is the lowest it has been for 3 years (lots of data to prove but BBC article: US inflation falls to its lowest level in over three years) The fed is looking to cut interest moreā¦ of course Biden and Harris canāt take credit right? It baffles me why US citizens canāt parse out the truth!
Propaganda works. There are millions of gullible people who ignore facts and believe the lies promoted by the leader of the GOP.
Steve Ratner did a good job of dismantling some of Trumpās lies from the debate.

the truly sad part of the US political system is that it only comes down to less than 0.01% of the population that decide the outcomes. here is a good video explainer: Why 0.008% of the U.S. population might determine the election | About That | CBC.ca. The issue of such a small margin of victory shows the flaw in the electoral college system. So did the debate matter? not if it did not change the factors at play in the battle ground states, and to change it only a relatively small number of people need influenced to vote one way or the other.
SAYING heāll do those things will let him overlook the fact that a sitting president incited terrorist to invade the Capitol.
Trump has proven repeatedly that he has no actual, workable plans that would address any of the shit he claims heās the only person capable of fixing.
And the rubes just keep on believing him. As we can clearly see.
He apparently does have concepts of plans though. So heās got that going for him, which is nice.

re : endorsements
I agree somewhat as to celebrity endorsements over other endorsements. Hulk Hogan v Taylor Swift provides an example of distinctions in endorsement quality though. Reading TSās endorsement you can see how she did not push, but rather counseled her followers to become more engaged and more informed, and then came the push to register and vote based on an independent research. Iād swing to the side that her endorsement was mature and civic.

Donāt forget Hulk Hogan.
Only the best people.
And OJ Defense Attorney Alan Dershowitz
Gotta say the only unhinged folks that still hold the belief that trump is the best candidate for president. Letās say there are 330 million people in the US, of that say 75 million would be eligible to run for president. Trump would be the 75th million person who would be best for the country.
Add Linda Ronstadt. For her, it is personal in a few ways.

At least he acknowledged it was shameful.
Did they cancel the J6 award banquet at his golf club or just delay until after the election?
Are we actually having a discussion about whether or not we should respect celebrity music and TV personality endorsements, when one of the actual candidates is ājustā a TV celebrity?!
Also the candidate who has already shown us that heās unfit for office?! Nepotism, graft, corruption, fraud, sexual assault, stealing secret documents, encouraging foreign interference and an insurrection, misuse of power, misogyny, racism, and interest only in himselfā¦.
If Donald Trump endorsed a candidate we would say heās not credible to be trusted with an endorsement. And yet, heās the fucking candidate!

It also happened at 11 oāclock when people turn on their late night news on the major networks, so there is of a double impact at that time.
