“My side fucked me, so I won’t vote for anyone for a couple of years. That’ll learn 'em.”
Focusing on cannabis since the guy is complaining about his hemp farm.
The Democrats here in Ohio have done fuck all to protect the decriminalized cannabis that we voted in support of by 60% back in 2023 (same with abortion the same day). Republicans immediatly set to work to limit home growth and how much you can buy. Did the Democrats run ads in Ohio about how they were going to protect our right to grow and consume cannabis? Did they talk about how Republicans were going to roll back the provisions we all agreed on? No. They ran ads about how they were going to help Trump hurt trans kids and “secure the border” here in Ohio. The Democrats and Republicans have lost all credibility with everyone that isn’t a die-hard supporter of the parties. People stop voting when they feel like neither party cares about their interests.
Yeah, I keep hearing about how useless the dems are. I dunno what you guys can possibly do to fix things over there tbh. So I understand feeling hopeless.
The Dems are primarily right of centre capitalists who think they’ll win if they appeal to the “centrists” between the two parties (hasn’t worked), and the Repubs are literal Nazis. So yeah, not great.
Here’s the solution: Go get involved locally.
The Dems at the top are put there by the dems in the middle, and those are elected by the dems at the bottom. Find your precinct and join it. Simply being present adds weight to that precint, and then you can help choose who leads the district, and upwards until we get to the DNC chair and presidential candidates.
Feel like your choice is nazi vs meh? Getting involved lets you push the meh closer to great. Voting all the time is half the equation, but if you feel like your choices are not great, then the solution is to help pick the choices.
This seems like good advice for USians. :)
Unfortunately, running ads against all the shitty things that Republicans do would bankrupt someone as wealthy as Bezos. At a certain point, people need to take some personal responsibility in researching and making an informed vote, instead of just relying on who had the most recent snappy attack ad campaign.
The two sides are similar, sure, but one side is hurting much more people than other.
The narrative the two sides are the same elected Trump since many shared this idea and didn’t show up to vote… MAGA for sure will go out and vote
Yeah Sherrod Brown basically threw the election. Ohio isn’t as red as its democrats seem to think
Also what pisses me off enormously is that people (especially in politics) refuse to ever say what they actually think. They will say one thing while knowing full well that they actually mean something completely different. There needs to be more correlation between what people say and what they mean. Especially, i’m sick of parties only trying to get people’s attention and not actually having any ideals they believe in themselves.
Trump says whatever enters his brain at any given second…
These people have been so brain broken that they will never vote for anyone with a ‘D’ next to their name.
This person doesn’t even need to mention it, it’s just a given that he will go right to not voting (which I’ll take as a win).
I mean this was the unironic sentiment around here in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
“Can’t blame me for the death of democracy, I don’t participate.”
I love how the only option in his mind is to not vote in the future. Not trying to find the party that represents him, or vote for the other party that protects his views, but just give up entirely on democracy cause of one issue.
He is a weak person, a weak american, and is one of the problems with this country.
In fairness. First past the post necessarily leads to a two party state.
I’m sorry, but the only option is to single-mindedly campaign for pretentitial voting.
Voting for another party that protects his views is cute, but totally incompatible with the voting system in place in the US.

Aww. You mean the conman affected you personally? What kind of vile person hopes that the conman will fuck everyone else except them. Ugh. Fuck this shit
This guy seems like a real scrotum.
He should been hurt way more.
“We are so back…” (wards)
“Women, back to kitchen”
Lmao, my dad cooks better than my mom, and my mom can’t even cook, and she happens to make the most money. Did I grow up in an inverted household?
Bro seriously! Also cooking for yourself is rewarding in its own right. Like it is literally part of being a complete person. Also guaranteed this fucker would never talk like this IRL.
you are being oppressed. do not resist us. you will be freed from your oppression.
*I grew up similarly to you
God pls no, no one deserves to be forced fed mom’s cooking… that’s a fate worse than death.
He’s the type to pray before meals … because his mom cooks them.
Worlds best chefs are all men.

No he isn’t. Scrotums are useful.
He thinks he’s going to get a repeal of Loving v. Virginia? Who does he think the vice president is married to?
The president married an immigrant too, lol.
Usha Vance isn’t an immigrant to be fair
she’s not white, so she’s an immigant. At least according to MAGAts.
Oh no, I meant Melina. Though Usha needs to find a better guy. Good lord, haha.
Option A: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Option B: that’s how Vance plans to get out of it and go after Charlie Kirk’s wife next
You’re on the money, maybe in both cases.
Pointing out the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of these men does not challenge them anyway. They are comfortable with their madness, I know this. The jokes are only for us at this point.
This has got to be a satire account ?
You could say that about the entire US
How does he believe these things and yet also choose to sell weed?
Hemp farmers, back to the unemployment office…
But the thing is he will totally vote in 2028.
He will either have simply forgotten, or the republicans will have fabricated some new crisis by then and he will tell himself “well I have to vote or the democrats will force everyone to be non binary and polyamorous!!!”
Is that really so bad?
Like, hell
manperson, let’s just make a pile.I call top of the pile!
Its win win for the Goofy Old Phuckers. This ignorant(?) fool votes for his golden calf. Gets mad because that calf fucks him up. His solution is to not vote. Not to vote out the people that screwed him over but just not vote. So is it ignorance or stupidity.
I say why not both.
Notice he’s not mad about anything else? This dude loves the GOP, just mad they screwed him over. He’ll vote for em again the moment they promise to kill 20 browns, Jews or gays
I’m so disgusted that these people have the gall to call themselves patriots.
People who have to call themselves patriots, are not patriots.
“He’s a real patriot! He told me so himself!”
Translation: "The government I voted for on the promise of hurting other people ended up hurting me as well so as a consequence I’m going to abstain from any collective decision making for the foreseeable future, that’ll show 'em!
“You voted for this”
Trump literally said that a couple of months after he was inaugurated. It’s like they didn’t believe him when he was literally telling everyone who he is. Second highest votes a president has ever had in U.S. history… fucking idiots.
The crazy thing about this piece of shit, is that he has so much hate for marginalized people, that even though he is actively being fucked by what he voted for, he can’t even bring himself to lying and saying that he will vote for the opposing party, and of course in reality will continue to vote for fucking himself because he hopes it fucks the marginalized more.
U guysez destroyed my fucking life and my country. But I’m still kind of a brain washed pussy, so I won’t actually vote against you…
That’s the most Republican sentiment I’ve ever seen, lol
They really think they will ever vote again 🤣
I mean even in Russia they can vote. It’s just a meaningless facade.
They’re like sleeper agents.
As soon as a Republican utters the phrase “Democrats are eating babies” they are activated and go to the polls and vote for whoever has an “R” next to their name and then they wake up the next day with no memory of ever going to the polling booth.
The orange turd could be on the air saying *the libs are eating your babies" while literally having a new born baby placed in front on him on a silver platter, stab the baby in the head, cut off its arm and physically eats the thing ON THE AIR…and the red cult would still fall in line
I know you were trying to be sarcastic, but I have a Trumper friend who thinks the dem elites extract adrenochrome from babies. Not sure but I think that means the babies are killed afterwards. It can’t seem to ever get ridiculous enough.
Thats pure Qanon mainlining. Your friend is literally in a cult.
These people are racist goldfish. As soon as the GOP dangles keys in his face again he’ll believe everything they say.
“We are so back.”
To what, 1929?
They were trying to get to 1700 something, so they’ve made some progress, from their point of view. I don’t know what all the wailing is about.
I mean, at least nobody is getting a buzz from a gummy anymore. Got to think of what is important.
I never really even got a buzz; I just use em to sleep through the night (half a 10mg a night). In the past I used to drink to sleep but that’s not healthy and didn’t really give you rest anyway.
Have you tried melatonin? Works great for me. Less drowsy in the AM than weed in my experience.
Some studies are showing melatonin increases heart issues.
Wow I had not seen that, thank you for the info I will look into.
I think I tried it long ago, but I’ll give it a second try.
I’d suggest trying tincture or seltzers. Personally I’d prefer them over edibles (though I mostly vape, living in a rec state)
