President Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 memorial ceremony.

The president dozed off at multiple points during the event Friday, slumped over in his chair with his eyes closed and his head hanging down while everyone else onstage—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Melania Trump, and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice—was clearly awake.

No Trump is on you. You saw a worst case scenario and instead of trying to keep that from happening you selfishly decided to do what you thought was right instead of taking the lesser evil in hopes that later down the road doing what's right might actually happen.bWay to go.

Read what I wrote, and then come back with a reasonable response whenever you're ready. Thank you.

I read it correctly the first time. You voted your conscience and ensured 1 less vote for Harris. Again, way to go. You wanted perfect and when you couldn't have that you fucked us all, including the ones who can't afford groceries.

You really cannot argue with third party voters. On paper, one should vote their conscience. In reality, a non-blue vote is tacitly a red one.
