Who would vote for him who would have voted for Biden?
Yeah, don’t think this hurts anyone, unless it happens to pull the black vote, which I guess is possible.
I would suspect this absolutely would diminish votes to Dems in some way. Middle votes, throw away votes. I just put nothing past them, but the original comment was made with pop symbol, implying sarcasm.

This girl is 16 and is already an avowed Communist, complete with hammer and sickle emoji. I'm so thankful social media wasn't around when I was in HS.
I was an avowed Communist at 16. My hammer and sickle were drawn on my notebook.

I’ve had too much to drink to detect pop symbols.

Nvm. Doesn’t seem to be a deadline for the main election, as long as you can pull off everything.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your side has won every single cultural battle for 50 years and you're worried about the downfall of the USA?

The GOP can't do anything without stepping on its own crank. The party people think folks like capitalist cancer Mitt Romney are the answer and still haven't figured out why their base wanted Trump over Rubio.

the Kaepernick thing is pretty hilarious. A man who’s made millions playing football and then millions more through sponsorships is complaining about being oppressed despite the fact that his life is orders of magnitude easier than us

I don’t think he’s complaining about his personal situation.

He also gives quite a bit of money back. Everyone likes to judge other people. Too bad there’s not money in that.

So giving money back makes profiting off of slave labor ok?

The way he uses “we” makes me think that he’s lumping himself in the oppressed group

That isn’t to say he hasn’t experienced racism in his life but it’s a bit silly that he’s championing this cause when he’s rich and famous before doing any protesting

Also, the “war on Independence day” is a bold stance that will win him and his cause 0 favors.

So... he should do nothing? If you’re rich and famous just be happy with it and say, “I got mine.”

I mean I’m sympathetic to a lot of the BLM stuff but the war on Independence Day is gonna be a big non starter for me.

Part of the issue is this is so blatantly a con.

He expressed zero issues until he started getting benched in favor of Blaine Gabbart.

He found a lucrative business in this and good for him.

America, what a country.

No but your message needs to be a little smarter if you’re coming from that angle

That’d be like if Karl Marx was a wealthy nobleman; “proletariat my ass”

Idk, I’m drunk and I’m irascible and I know a lot of what I post on here is just a result of my own personal mental health issues that manifest in random frustrations. I don’t mean to be argumentative

Hope y’all had a good fourth of July

I’m drunk as well, so we’ve got that going for us. I don’t get the down with Independence Day thing either... but don’t really fault his overall message. I think he’s trying to do good in the world.

Possibly done more to get him re elected in one tweet than Trump has in 3-1/2 years.

Still not a prayer in hell I’d vote for him personally but a definite wait wtf moment.
