Yeah kinda like how there is a presidential candidate who is a felon, cheated on their pregnant with a porn star, openly boasted about getting away with sexual assault, is well known to stiff working people and cities, and is repeatedly tied to Epstein. But somehow is polling ahead of the other guy.

I mean the other guys is basically a few days away from being brain dead. As a country we really got ask ourselves how did that become the best 2 choices its embarrassing. We allowed ourselves to let party lines dictate voting this much.

This is the second election in a row where it’s like “is this really the best our country can do?” I’m a republican and I’m so sick and tired of the war on abortion and the boogeyman of the right and the left like it’s a red scare or blue scare. Can we please just have two candidates that have good and new ideas that can help our country instead of making it worse.

The problem is Trump somehow got record numbers for the right, even trying to copy him does not get the same effect. People that complain about the left will never vote in other smaller elections but will go vote for him in a heart beat. People are so anti trump they will vote left. But the anti trump extends to anti right so they will vote left and show up because the anti right motivation is that high from them. Voting numbers were down the first time Trump ran, the 2nd time the most people ever in the country voted for both candidates. So we have a problem of people only care about politics because they either like or dislike Trump. After this who knows what will happen. But we got here because of a large politcal disinterest. Americans are obssesed with talking about politics but then whens its time to vote completely absent.

Same. I’m tired of candidates using a culture war as talking points instead of actual policy.

More like if Trump was a Mujahideen and had direct involvement with 9/11 but was only being questioned by SA or being involved with a prostitute

Yep, pretty much Trump. The man who was indicted twice, currently undergoing a trial, had a mistress make a whole book and documentary about their affair, brags about walking in on naked women at beauty pageants he sponsors. And STILL has thousands voting for him to be president.🙄

I think it’s sad people miss that that’s the whole point of The Boys. It’s a reflection of the ridiculousness of our current day to day life with supernatural abilities sprinkled in. Literally all the headlines used and quotes used are things actual politicians have used.

It’s insane because reality is insane. The Boys is a caricature of our real life. All of this is ridiculous and based on the egos of a few who think they’re better than the masses due to genetics or money. That is how America was built and continues to exist.

brags about walking in on naked women at beauty pageants he sponsors.

just want to point out that it was TEEN beauty pageants he bragged about walking into dressing rooms. Literally underage girls.

u/lalocurabella Jul 10 '24

Seriously!!! I didn’t even know it included teen pageants. I thought it was solely Miss USA (18+, not like it makes it better). Absolutely disgusting!

Not an American but the other guy is a dementia patient.

You guys are stuck between two bad candidates.

u/Geno0wl Jul 10 '24

at least the Dementia patient surrounds himself with competent people. The other guy only surrounds himself with sycophants who couldn't give half a shit about doing their jobs and are instead trying to use their positions to get rich.

u/youarenut Jul 10 '24

Yes at this point you’re voting more for the surrounding team than the president. That being said, only one of the sides treats their figurehead as a saint, roots as a celebrity and cheers as if it was a sports team

u/shadowrod06 Butcher Jul 10 '24

I mean both are bad. Even as a figurehead the President needs to be competent.

u/CosmicMiru Jul 10 '24

Yes but one is significantly worse than the other

u/Geno0wl Jul 10 '24

Are you implying the guy who bankrupted three casinos and added a record amount to the federal debt is competent?

u/444kiss Jul 10 '24

He never said anything remotely praising trump, you are trying to start an argued out of thin air. Even if biden did surround himself with competent people, the leader of the country should be held to the same standard.

u/Yaden2 Jul 11 '24

also! the other guy is only like a year and a half younger than the dementia patient, either way our president will be unable to string together complete sentences by 2027

u/dudemanlikedude Jul 10 '24

at least the Dementia patient surrounds himself with competent people.

Are you seriously hearing yourself right now?

u/TheAzureMage Jul 10 '24

Cmon, now, we also have the Libertarians.

Three bad candidates.

Are you saying the writers of our actually reality are being heavy handed?

This does seem like the craziest simulation, not going to lie.
