 Perspective. So important right now.

 Lol. I love how the economy was great and things were relatively stable in the lives of everyday Americans but these lunatics paint a picture of this authoritarian, dystopic world under Trump that literally did not exist outside Twitter. 
 For me, it is a matter of risk. One involves a higher level of risk for the majority. Egoistic leadership does not serve the community. 
 Depends what you're taking about when you're referring to risk. 

And that's actually completely false. Besides the fact that ego does not exist in an emotional vacuum, it's fed, at least in part, by praise. Egotistical leadership feeds off the praise of those it's leading and in the case of Trump, he's at least equal parts ego and equal parts "love for his country." If you actually listen to the man talk for a few minutes you'll see he cares deeply for the US.

The risk of electing Kamala is that she will continue to prove that she's a puppet of the current political elite machine. Look into her and you'll realize that she's an absolutely terrible candidate with an awful track record. 

That being said, I'm Canadian so I really have no dog in this fight. 

Also, politics is corrupt and stupid anyways, defund all of it with Bitcoin. 
 You’re assuming that I didn’t listen or watch him. Also my analysis is over facts not emotions. 
 I'm not assuming you didn't, but most don't.  
 Is this where I'm supposed to scream at you about having the wrong facts? 🤣🤣

It really doesn't matter who wins as neither of them will move the needle on what really matters and that's fixing the money. You can't stop corrupt bankers and politicians from stealing the wealth of the world when you use the money they give us. 

My vote is for Bitcoin this election.  
 I think the most dangerous thing about Trump is how many people are evangelising him as some messiah. They will be easily radicalised to do crazy things under this illusion - much like the leftists have been doing up until this point.

There is no good choice here, and I think that is the entire point of this shitshow. 
 That's a fair assessment. 

To be clear,  I couldn't care less. I know he's no messiah and I know he's not going to save the country. 

I would sooner defund all of it through Bitcoin. 
 I know. The irony is that Trump is a better representative of that system than Harris. As I said before in another comment, it is a choice of which of the two carries more risk for the people as a whole. 
 these “disaffected americans” have a ridiculously childish way of thinking.  please try to be less naive, better educated & much more serious.

 Donald Trump attempted actual treason with an insurrection.

He wanted to have Vice President Mike Pence murdered.  Insurrectionists kept chanting “Kill Mike Pence!”

Trump was the only US president in history who refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power ceremony.

And incidentally, as proven even more, Trump’s best friend is Epstein, and they r@ped children together.

The list is so much longer with so many disgusting things.

You must be part of an evil cult that’s taken over your rationality to think this is all nbd.

 young man, epstein recordings and documents have been released.  it’s even more proven that trump is a serial r@pist.  that alone should disqualify him from your favorable opinion of him.  and should make you seriously question anyone else who willingly gets near him.

please stop debasing yourself.  

i hope you one day find more peace and gain control over your emotions for better reasoning abilities…for the ability to see what’s true & reject what is false.

you should not help & never support a wannabe fascist dictator or anyone who wants to use him for those kinds of greedy & selfish ends. thankfully trump’s attempted coup on jan 6 with his mob did not work.  

you should not commit yourself to be a part of such anti-american things, if you love freedom and america.

don’t be a traitor to the USA.

these dumb degenerate psychotics are lost, broken & violent people:
