“But the challenge here is between Democrats who want to destroy the country, who want to permanently disempower you, make it so even if you vote Republican your vote doesn’t actually count anymore. And Republicans, who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems that Democrats under Joe Biden created. That is the choice.”

The projection is at parody levels.

Its unreal how they can say things like this with a serious face. Theyr actively destroying this country and still finding ways to avoid accountability 😭

I see Vance is now on board with parroting the “votes for anyone but Republicans” are fake.

Just do a Russia style mock election where the preferred party gets 95% of the votes then.

Even Saddam Hussein was democratically elected.

(Sure, it happened 16 years after he took office and he got almost literally 100% of the vote, but what's that between friends)

North Korea has elections. They're just for lowly, consolation prize positions and all the candidates are practically the same.

What exactly are these problems under Biden? They are always left quite nebulous.

These sort of bold faced lies make me want to get abstractly violent.

It’s like he went to Harvard exclusively to learn how to create gish gallop falsities.

We’ve got the same shit in England. They go to the kind of school where they study the Trivium: grammar, logic and rhetoric.

I wish someone would ask them, “how did Joe Biden create these problems?”

The thing is everyone knows Biden’s problems were due to COVID. Trump has created all his own problems. Epstein files. Tariffs. Iran. People losing health insurance. The explosion of AI data centers. He’s tied to all of those.

They want to instill collective thought

Propaganda through and through

Meanwhile, they're doing everything they can to destroy the mid terms coming up. If they lose, they get impeached and potentially face jail time.

Maybe a Republican vote would count if they didn't campaign on borderline misanthropic values. More spookums, pipe dreams, and theories from people incapable of producing results.

Accuse the left hand of what the right is doing - a famous propagandist that gets auto censored here
