Honey I am from Kansas, I have met some Magas

The story is so long, but let me just say include them into the fold. We are so many pain because they have discounted us for so long. Demonizing us, making us into sick fuck not worthy of any kind of compassion . So why do they support him , some kind of hidden pain that the TSF knows how to exploit them. He is good at that. So pick a VP that includes them. Recognize their pain, pick VP that includes them, let’s have a cry fest, Think it over. Pick a VP that is a whit guy with military experience. They will not know how to handle that. I would like to see TSF go after that

We know how that one went. They can and did go after a white military guy with no problem.

I live in Texas and have first-hand experience dealing with these folks - no thank you.

With the late start, I think you are limited to someone with some name recognition. Domyou have any suggestions?

I don't think the late start prevents exposure to the degree you do. Americans learned enough to comfortably cast their votes 60 years ago when the ticket wasn't settled until the convention. It is even easier to get info out these days.

But I am right. It is hard to understand. By including them in on the ticket. That will put a wrench into their plans. And recognize their pain, that would cut into TSF plans That would be dividing us. That needs to be stopped. I am right, I have a lot of MAGA in-laws. Lots of experience

Military experience, I am not so sure about, but I would defer to someone with more knowledge

we have a spelling correction function on every post...

You meant "Pick a WHITE guy..." Right?

How about we pick the best possible candidate, whoever they are, whatever their ethnic background, and whatever public service they have done.

BTW, I am from Kansas too. Instead of playing victim, perhaps your MAGA friends should put in the work to get an education and find a career or path that leads them to a better life, and quit blaming everyone else for their problems.

So there you go. A few of them are the recipients of some pretty progressive policies. Trust me the anger is real. They have caused me a lot of pain, but include them into the fold. They will not be able to fight that

So many fat fingers, so fat. Hard to type when they take up three letters. So have some compassion
