She doesn't seem the type to like a vanilla dude like Biden and hee extreme views aligns more to a cult figure like Trump but they're both white. She's argued before that everyone should be voting for Socialist parties and the Party for Socialism and Liberation did a write-in campaign on Georgia's ballot so I presume them unless she doesn't know how to do write-ins which is a bit of emotional labor. They got 159 votes.
Quote:2020 United States presidential election in Georgia[30][37]
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
Democratic Joe Biden 2,473,633 49.47% +4.12%
Republican Donald Trump (incumbent) 2,461,854 49.24% −1.16%
Libertarian Jo Jorgensen 62,229 1.24% −1.77%
Green Howie Hawkins (write-in) 1,013 0.02% −0.17%
American Solidarity Brian T. Carroll (write-in) 701 0.01%
Independent Jade Simmons (write-in) 181 0.00%
Socialism and Liberation Gloria La Riva (write-in) 159 0.00%
Of course, like many of the third parties they only do this for Presidential elections so her choices were more limited in 2022:
Quote:2022 Georgia gubernatorial election[104]
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
Republican Brian Kemp (incumbent) 2,111,572 53.41% +3.19%
Democratic Stacey Abrams 1,813,673 45.88% -2.95%
Libertarian Shane T. Hazel 28,163 0.71% -0.24%
Quote:2022 United States Senate election in Georgia[143]
Party Candidate Votes % ±%
Democratic Raphael Warnock (incumbent) 1,946,117 49.44% +1.05%
Republican Herschel Walker 1,908,442 48.49% −0.88%
Libertarian Chase Oliver 81,365 2.07% +1.35%
I would be surprised if she didn't vote for Stacey Abrams (despite being a more moderate Democrat) just because she's a Black woman and was running against a white man based entirely on a false grievance that power had been stolen from her.

They split right down the middle when asked about this debate pushing them towards voting for Biden or Trump, with one person still undecided. Looked to me like:
Trump - 7
Biden - 8
Undecided - 1
Anyone who's not a screecher knows this was a terrible night for Biden.

I didn't think tonight's debate would change anyone's mind, but man, it was THAT bad for Biden that the Dems are probably going to replace him between now and August. They'll blame it on a sudden health crisis or something, and they'll keep Kamala on the bottom of the ticket(pun intended), and probably run Gretchen Whitmer or some other blue state governor.
They'll pick someone like Whitmer that doesn't have much national recognition so that she can pretend to be a moderate like Biden did in 2020 (the cat's already out of the bag that Gavin Newsom is a far left prog, so nominating him won't work..and they won't nominate Josh Shapiro because he's Jewish and that would alienate the "religion of peace" wing of the Dem party). The Dem candidate will swear up and down to be a reasonable moderate that wants to "save us" from the "right wing extremists" just like Biden in 2020.
If the dems win with Whitmer or whoever they pick, it will be a such a shitstorm that the Reps will be heavily favored to win in '28 but the reps aka "the stupid party" will probably find a way to blow that too, though if the Dems get enough votes in Congress they'll pack the courts and add DC/Guam/Puerto Rico/USVI as states and grant amnesty to all their "migrants" that just happened to fly north for the winter through no deliberation of their own, of course, thus moving us five steps closer to one party rule with the majority of people dependent on the federal government for their entire lives.

Trump has been under the progs lawfare microscope for almost a decade now, and the worst thing they could pin on him was mislabeling an NDA regarding a pornstar he banged as a legal expense and claiming it was election interference when literally NOBODY EVER believed trump didn't bang her.
Speaking of dishonesty in the debate, Biden 1)brought up the "kids in cages" thing even though the worst pictures of that were from the Obama admin, 2)brought up the "fine people hoax" that even Snopes admits is fake now, 3)the so called "vets are suckers" comment that has 1 person saying Trump said it and 20 others disputing it(including John Bolton, who hates Trump but actually has some integrity unlike John Kelly) and 4)retorted "You're a child" to trump as if he's f'n Towelie in South Park calling someone else a towel lmao.

Quote:and Destiny said literally everything you said above, about how we should let countries do whatever they're best at to benefit everyone, it's retarded to artificially punish one to let another catch up when they're not equipped for it, not to mention those kinds of jobs can't pay the cost of living in the US anymore while still being competitive globally
his weird off the cuff example was if you have two kids, one is good at making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and the other is good at pouring milk, why would you punish one kid just to let the other catch up in their abilities at the other job when they already had their own specialization and role they could fill
This sounds good in theory in an economic textbook by people like Larry Summers or N Gregory Mankiw, but in practice the "specialization" other countries like China offer is using slave labor and shit conditions to undercut prices to the point that much manufacturing in America is no longer economically viable. It also results in propping up illegitimate regimes such as the CCP and, when combined with de facto open borders in America, it results in us having fewer competitive businesses, fewer good jobs, and an overall lower standard of living that will be even worse for our kids and grandkids.
Reeee's most popular response to the poor debate performance by Biden seems to be "bububbu Trump was convicted of 34 felonies" as they seem to be banking of the American people being too stupid to recognize a soviet-style show trial when they see one. That trial seems to have changed the minds of nobody, and if that retarded judge is stupid enough to try to put Trump in jail, will just result in more people being outraged by the outrageousness of it all.

Surprise, surprise! Another reeeee screecher thinks that Walgreens and other retailers are just locking away merchandise and closing stores for no reason. And ignoring the countless videos of people stealing stuff in California, Chicago, NY, etc and suffering no consequences from local law enforcement.

Then again, complaining about those stupid judges is also pretty RE esque.

yeah well, your mom smells like a parody of a buttplug. burn!
The judges in trump's 3 ny court episodes have absolutely been ridiculous.
-The judge in the E Jean carroll lawsuit allowed the suit to proceed despite E Jean having no idea what day or year the supposed assault happened, thus preventing Trump from having any sort of alibi.
-The "civil fraud" judge declared trump guilty before the trial even started, ordered a $500 million fine against trump for fraud charges brought in a never before manner (and never again, according to ny governor Kathy hocel) in which no one was ripped off, and even had the gall to declare a "finding of fact" that Mar-a-lago is only worth $20 million despite being closer in value to $750+ million.
-Judge Merchan allowed Alvin Bragg to proceed with a case in which 1)the prosecution did not disclose the underlying crime that made the misdemeanor into a felony until after the defense had given their closing statement, 2)declared that the jury did not have to agree on what the underlying crime is(which is different than the jury not agreeing on the means to the crime; the jury doesn't have to agree with the means but this was ends, not means), 3)allowed Bragg to use federal election law as an underlying crime despite having no jurisdiction(and the feds that had jurisdiction did not even bring charges), and 4)most egregious of all, Judge Merchan barred former fec commission from testifying that paying for NDAs is not against FECA, yet allowed Michael Cohen to speculate on FECA as part of his testimony. Not to mention 5)in 2022 the Hilary campaign quietly paid a fine to the FEC to settle charges over the same conduct but no ny prosecution was ever filed, thus providing strong evidence that it was an unconstitutional selective prosecution.

I can't speak for the rest of the board, but I was confident that the jury would convict Trump. (The case is indeed quite "flimsy" and will not hold on appeal, however, although it might require the Supreme Court overturning the NY courts) I'm also willing to bet that this judge is going to try to put Trump in jail for the rest of the campaign.

My country has pretty good Public College, all things considered.
Many people still go to private colleges, just to be clear.
