honestly thinking of all the people who are gonna write in his name as a joke in November makes me want to puke

[apeshit_x]

He has to be joking or about to promote something. Anyways filing deadlines have passed in a lot of states. Maybe he wants to split votes which will probably give Trump another term.
Can Kanye stay away.

[iluvpans]

Something about this makes me feel so upset that I can’t even meme about it idk. and seeing elon musk’s stupid tweet just makes me more mad. i hate these egotistical dudes so fucking much i have no patience anymore.

[eisenberries]

don't know if i can articulate it correctly, but what makes me so angry/upset about this is that it proves that for a lot of people, politics and the presidency is just a joke/popularity contest. my friend texted me this news laughing and was like "why NOT vote for him??? at least he's not trump! and he's so honest even if he's a misogynist/racist/conservative!" as if i'm supposed to give a shit about that

[vanouria]

this! I'm so sick of these privileged out of touch assholes playing with our actual fucking lives just for clout and power. Like I just am at the end of my rope

[insomniachobs]

I have never got how this "at least he's honest about it!" thing seems to endear assholes to people, as if it's the great redeeming quality. Like, if you have to pick the lesser of the evils between two assholes then sure, a bit of self-awareness might be your tie breaker, but they're not suddenly a big sweetheart. They're just a raging asshole who doesn't feel the need to hide it lol

I'm resentful that y'all think we would vote for this coon and are laughing about our vote as if we just see a black person and vote for them. As if we don't think.

[piratesswoop]

well. can’t exactly say this because i know some clowns of the black male variety definitely will check a box next to his stupid ass name.

[shayme]

So, they should lump us all together? This is not one "black vote". We are all very different with different politics.
