Of course, they can't say "war criminal Donald Trump" because that would then invite people to call Biden a war criminal too

      last year i was talking to my cousin and they told a story about their great uncle who was about 7 years old in 1920 for the election and his dad took him down to the polling station to see the results. this was back in the day, you understand, and you'd have to go look at a chalkboard to see the tally. anyway my great uncle twice removed or whatever he is, he looked at the tally and then looked down at the kid and said, "they didn't count my vote."

      "how do you know, dad?"

      "because it says there's 0 votes for eugene debs!"

    It's like how liberals will constantly use homosexuality as the punchline for jokes

    If you point out that the thing they're using as an insult (body weight/type, sexuality, criminal record) is not something they should use as an insult, they'll get absolutely offended and assure you they're not actually homophobic or whatnot, they just say it because it annoys the target of their insults - which is usually some high ranking politician who will never be in the same postal code as these ghouls, let alone hear the insult

    Something like 3% of the population has been convicted of a felony. Most of us probably have a felon in our families or social groups and many of us probably know a felon whose conviction was bullshit. Using "convicted felon" as a pejorative in the most obsessively carceral society in the history of earth is bound to backfire.

      Liberals don't really care about that

      We get them in here every day in some random threads, screaming about how we're a bunch of dumbasses for not voting for war criminal Joe Biden, which is 'definitely' going to convince people here to vote for him

          Yeah well nobody should support it. But NOT voting for Biden will almost be a for-sure win for Trump. It's a case where you choose the better of the two evils

    If non-felon Biden (or any US president) were ever tried in an actual (read: non-amerikkkan) court, he’d be struggling to make a case for why he shouldn’t be immediately executed

    His is convicted of a crime like a minority. You wouldn't vote for a minority would you?

    Trump's poll numbers rose with every indictment. Rushing to convict him during a presidential campaign is a massive blunder on par with boosting him in 2016 thinking he would be an easier opponent than the "legitimate" candidates.
